Highlights from the Show

- The quality of human interaction is rising in importance
- In the Financial Services side of the business, there was a lot of uncertainty and need for helping customers understand what it all means to them
- The future is all about digital access
- People are more values-conscious (not just value conscious) in that they care about what the company they do business with is like, what it stands for, what it supports, how it behaves, etc.

- Telematics (or IoT) helps Nationwide deliver safety and monitor how safe people are being
- 1/3 of customers have adopted telematics
