Abstract

This interview with Dame Inga Beale, one of the most distinguished corporate leaders in the United Kingdom, explores her ideas around creative leadership of Lloyd’s of London in the cyber asset market. Uniqueness of Beale’s approach stems from the deep-seated social purpose of insurance to support development of trust in a complex asset management cyberspace. Beale’s collaborative approach to dealing with risk in a digitally connected asset market is exclusive in its ethos. At a time when digital assets are threatened by cyberattacks and losses that are many times in magnitude in comparison with those of natural calamities, Beale’s innovative leadership is likely to fit in with a boundary-less online context. Beale’s enunciation of leadership aspirations for Lloyd’s has striking similarities with recent research on digital transformation of organizations and provides a practical articulation of collaborative trust building within the insurance market and beyond.
