Pensional levert een bijdrage aan innovatie pensionmarkt

Terwijl de gemiddelde burger zich steeds meer zorgen maakt over zijn pensioen, blijkt uit internationaal vergelijkend onderzoek dat Nederland nog steeds het meest robuuste pensioen stelsel ter wereld heeft, gevolgd door Australië en Zwitserland. Dat is iets om trots op te zijn, maar desondanks ontkomt zelfs Nederland niet aan vernieuwing om zijn alom gelauwerde pensioenstelsel toekomstbestendig te maken.

During a recent lecture on scenario planning for ABN AMRO’s Charitable Institution clients, Iske spoke about the importance of scenario planning for organizations. “If we would compare agility to Darwin’s survival of the fittest, then we would see that agility is a main determiner of being fit, therefore it increases an organizations chances of surviving.” Read moreRead more
