Enterprise Insurance, Enterprise Life, KEK Insurance Brokers tops CIIG Awards




The Chartered Insurance Institute of Ghana (CIIG) has held its maiden insurance industry awards at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra last week.

CIIG proved to be a super organiser when it held the maiden edition of the award ceremony, which they have long wanted to do over the past years but hadn’t been successful until that fateful Saturday night of November.

The CIIG is the umbrella-body of all insurance professionals in the industry, and under the leadership of outgoing president, Rev. Asante Marfo-Ahenkora, thought it wise to institute a credible event to fill that gap.

Speaking at the ceremony, Rev. Marfo-Ahenkora said the insurance industry - unlike other industries, had been bereft of an award team and an effort was made by the Ghana Insurers Association (GIA) some years ago to organise one, which unfortunately did not meet expectations of the industry and public as the event-planners failed to understand fully their peculiar industry nuances and complexities.

He recalled that attempts were subsequently made to resuscitate the awards and bring representatives from various industry bodies to form a committee to champion it.

Importantly, he affirmed that the CIIG was better placed as a professional body with membership spanning the whole spectrum of industry bodies - and more so as a neutral, credible non-market body - to initiate and organise their wards in a way of promoting excellence in the profession and industry as a whole.

He therefore encouraged all in the insurance industry to put in their best to regain the public’s trust in insurance companies, adding that the event will be an annual programme as it has come to stay.

The event was sponsored by the Ghana Insurers Association (GIA), Insurers Brokers Association (IBAG), Ghana Insurance College (GIC), and Chartered Insurance Ladies Association of Ghana (CILAG).

Chairperson of the CIIG Committee, Lydia Lariba Bawa, noted that for some time insurance industries have been yearning for a credible award scheme. At the end of the event, five individuals were recognised for the professionalism exhibited in their field of operations.

Nominees for the individual awards had at least five years’ working experience and were assessed based on their professional conduct, leadership skills, contribution to the industry and, more importantly, the field they entered to be awarded.

The individual awards are: Claims Professional of the Year – Iris Jacqueline Odarkor Logan of Hollard Insurance Ghana; Risk Management Professional of the Year – Tackie Abdul-Sallaam of Hollard; Young Insurance Professional of the Year – Isaac Kwakwa Sarpong of Prime Insurance Company; Insurance Professional of the year – Yaw Adom-Boateng of NSIA insurance Ghana.

The Ford Ranger has received the highest award for quality in the midsize pickup segment in the US; according to the 2020 JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) report. The Initial Quality Study, now in its 34th year, is based on responses from 87,282 purchasers and lessees of new 2020 model year vehicles in the US who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study took place from February through to May 2020. The JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) takes an updated look at the problems owners are having with their new vehicles, including those related to new technologies. The study, redesigned this year, measures components that fail and features that are difficult to use, hard to understand or don’t work the way owners want. Initial quality is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. “The Initial Quality Study is the industry benchmark for new-vehicle quality and, year after year, automakers app...

Redesigned Nissan logo signals a fresh horizon

Image
How the badge’s physical identity was adapted for the digital world We are more connected than ever before. People are growing up with the access to knowledge and the potential for interaction that the internet offers. Our lives are as much digital as they are physical. Hence strong brands need to have effective touchpoints in both realms. For the past 20 years, Nissan’s outgoing logo has been a beacon on its vehicles and so much more. It has served as an identity, a business card, a handshake and the first greeting between customers and the driving excitement that Nissan vehicles provide. For decades more, Nissan’s logo has stayed true to a belief held by its founder Yoshisuke Aikawa, “Shisei tenjitsu o tsuranuku,” which he interpreted to mean, “If you have a strong belief, it penetrates even the sun.” While keeping this essence alive, Nissan’s new “calling card” reflects the significant changes in society over the last two decades. It is a reimagination of the iconic Nissan bra...
