The Dreamcast is a perfect example of a console that had relatively low commercial success, but a huge underground following after its death. These two factors help brew up a strong library of games that have high collectibility among gamers that are just now finding out what was so great about the Dreamcast.
There are two major trends you will notice in the list below. First of all is the dominance of fighting and shooting games, mostly of the 2D nature. This is of little surprise to those that know the Dreamcast well as there games are some of the main draws for the system — especially when they don't get ported to other systems. The second trend you may notice is that Capcom dominates the top-value domestic releases. Capcom was one of the few third party publishers to really support the Dreamcast, but they had more niche releases that didn't warrant as many copies as Sega did with their first-party releases.
Below you will see two prices beside each title. The first is the average daily selling price, which is typically the going rate for the game by itself. The second price is the highest price for a complete copy of the game in the last three months. The list is ordered by the balance of the two prices.
The Dreamcast had quite a few racing games in its library and Speed Devils was an above-average effort from UbiSoft. The standard release of the game featured a wide-grinned, sun glasses-wearing devil along with the game's logo. It turns out that retail giant, Wal-Mart had a censorship policy restricting items that featured Satan's likeness. The interesting thing is that the disc itself still has the devil images on its artwork.
Instead of giving up potential sales, UbiSoft decided to make a cover variant of the game that had a more minimal text and flame-based logo. To this day, it has been very difficult to find this variant. In a way, this is surprising as you would think that Ubisoft would have only made this variant if there were enough copies to be sold to be worthwhile. Perhaps many Wal-Mart shoppers didn't keep the case for their games as often?
For what it's worth, there is a Buy It Now on eBay for $1600 at the time of this writing.
The Dreamcast was a great platform for 2D shooters and received a handful of solid releases in North America, mostly produced by Capcom. While you will see a few of these Capcom shmups show up on this guide, Giga Wing 2 is the hardest to find and most valuable as it was released closer to the end of the Dreamcast's lifespan.
While it had much of the same bullet-hell dynamic of its predecessor, Giga Wing 2 had more graphical polish being ported from the NAOMI arcade hardware instead of the CPS2 hardware of the original Giga Wing. A lot of these Capcom gems have really taken off in value over the last few years. Up until 2014, you could have scored Giga Wing 2 for $32 to $50.
Cannon Spike is very similar to the overhead shooting Smash TV or Commando and has a heavy focus on boss battles. However, Capcom brought this dynamic to the Dreamcast with graphical glory and also features playable characters and cameos from other Capcom franchises like Mega Man,Ghosts 'n Goblins, Darkstalkers and Street Fighter. Between the raw firepower, grand explosions, and plenty of Capcom fan love, it's difficult to resist adding this to your collection.
Cannon Spike was released during the Dreamcast's final Christmas and did not receive much promotion or word-of-mouth until it was long gone from stores. The game has still never been ported to another platform, making it one of the best remaining Dreamcast exclusives. Much like some of the other Capcom gems, you could score Cannon Spike for $50 or less before 2014, but has climbed aggressively in value since then.
As one of the most popular vertical shooters released in the US, Mars Matrix still commands a respectable price from collectors. And with the high likelihood of it remaining as a Dreamcast console exclusive, that value should hold up for a while longer as shmup fans build up their Dreamcast collections.
Even though we have seen some great value appreciation of Dreamcast shooters over the last four years, Mars Matrix has merely doubled in value over the last five years and dropped just a bit in the rankings.
Rival Schools 2, known as Project Justice in North America, obviously built on the original and remains as one of Capcom's most popular (with a rather nice following) 3D fighters. Like its predecessor, Project Justice has a lot of quirky characters that cater to the anime crowd and is just a real pleasure to play. It isn't especially rare, but Capcom released it in May 2001, several months after the Dreamcast was discontinued by Sega.
Interestingly enough, Project Justice has decreased in value a bit since it topped the Dreamcast North American value charts in 2008. Disc-only copies are about 10% cheaper, but complete and sealed copies have seen their values cut in half over the last decade. It had a spike in 2008 before calming down. 2016 saw another pricing peak before dropping back down again. This is all occurring while Project Justice remains a Dreamcast exclusive.
This shmup from Psikyo and Capcom. While it is a solid shooter of good pedigree, it didn't really innovate much from a gameplay or visuals perspective from its Sega Saturn predecessor. The Dreamcast version, however did give Darkstalkers' Morrigan in as a playable character.
Gunbird 2 has always been a modest collectable on the Dreamcast as a solid shmup in a rather limited run. It lingered in the $25 to $50 range for a number of years before gradually climbing in value in 2014.
The Dreamcast version is currently the only physical release of the game. And while iOS and Android have seen ports of the game, it hasn't yet surfaced on any other consoles. However, Gunbird 2 is due out on the Nintendo Switch sometime in the near future, so it will be interesting to see if there's an impact on the game values after arriving.
It's not surprising that the original Giga Wing has cracked into the top ten domestic Dreamcast collectible releases as the sequel is one the most in-demand. While not quite a tricky to find as part two, it did not have high production numbers due to the the genre being rather niche.
It was pretty easy to find between $20 and $50 up until 2015. It's easily doubled within just the last few years. It helps that the game remains a console exclusive on the Shmup-heavy Dreamcast.
Treasure is known for quirky action games, and Bangai-O is definitely on the higher part of that spectrum. This multi-directional shooter is all about explosions, chaos, and fun. Like most Treasure games, it's a cult classic and is the Dreamcast version was the only English version of the game for a while.
It has since seen releases on more modern consoles, but the value of the Dreamcast game remains steady over the past decade. Complete copies command nearly the same values they did a decade ago, but you can score a disc-only version about $10 cheaper.
Tech Romancer is a beautiful anime-impaired 3D fighting game by Capcom fought on a 2D plane. In this hidden gem, you fight as Mechs (designed by established anime creators, Studio Nue) and release power-ups by destroying the environment around you. The Dreamcast version also includes an unlockable version of the Tech Romancer anime.
The game remains as a Dreamcast console exclusive and has remained a hidden gem for fighting fans. Mint copies have only appreciated modestly, while disc-only copies have nearly doubled in value over the last decade.
This survival horror gem is campy, but in an '80s B-horror movie kind of way. Unfortunately this makes the game more funny than scary, though the large resource system is probably meant to make up for it. The complexity of the game system and the controls often leads to frustration. However, many survival horror fans have found an appreciation of the game.
Illbleed has remained a Dreamcast exclusive to this day. Between exclusivity and having an underground following, Illbleed rose out of the common bin prices of $10 to $20 around 2011 and has risen gradually since then.
Capcom may not have had much success with 3D fighting games, but it really got it right with the Powerstone series. Both games are fun-filled arena fighters that allow full 3D movement and interactive environments. Power Stone 2 added 4-player support and is significantly harder to find than its predecessor. It's also very surprising that the series hasn't been brought to any other platforms besides the PSP.
Being a party classic and a console exclusive, this Capcom gem has consistently placed well on this list. It's had a nice 30% increase over the last decade, but still a reasonably priced collectable.
If you wanted the biggest mashup of characters in your fighting games, Marvel vs Capcom 2 was the place to be. It may not be the most balanced game for tournaments, but it is still one of the hottest mainstream 2D fighters out there. Most gamers may flock to the PS2 version, but the Dreamcast release still commands strong collectability.
The more recent Marvel vs Capcom games have stolen some attention from part 2, but some fans still swear by this installment. MvC2 has also been released digitally on XBLA and PSN. Even though the Dreamcast version still commands some dollars despite cooling from it's $50 to $100 range in 2008.
Mark of the Wolves was ported from the Neo-Geo and served as the last game in the Fatal Fury series. It is essentially SNK's answer to SF3: Third Strike as it shares many of the same types of advancements, but it has its own unique fighting elements and showed off SNK's strength in character design. The Dreamcast version ended up on store shelves more than six months after the Dreamcast's demise and quickly ended up on clearance shelves.
Since then, the game has slowly grown in popularity amongst 2D fighting fans and has seen a number of digital ports. The Dreamcast version still remains the only North American physical copy of the game outside of the Neo Geo. Mint copies has gradually increased in value over the last decade, but loose discs has become a bit more affordable.
Developed by Capcom and based on the manga Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. It's a four-button fighter, three of which serve as attacks while the remaining is for the innovative Stand feature (if you want to read more, check out its feature in the Fighting Hidden Gems or Dreamcast Fighters guides. A little odd, considering it's Capcom, but they handle the change well. This game also has some absurdly awesome super moves and great animation.
The game has always been a bit of a rarity considering Capcom's production, but has gradually been increasing in value over the years. It's a great hidden gem for fighting fans. While it did see an HD remaster on PSN and XBLA, the Dreamcast version remains its only physical console port.
With an upbeat quest and some innovative and fun ideas, Skies of Arcadia lets you venture off to distant islands to uncover a number of secrets. Unlike other RPGs which wait until the mid-point to give you an airship, Skies of Arcadia does it right from the bat by bequeathing Vyse and crew with a ship of their own to sail the turn-based combat infested skies. The world is comprised of floating islands, and you use your air ship to travel among them while playing Robin Hood with other pirates.
While it was one of the Defining Games of the Dreamcast, it didn't become as big of a seller as Sega would have hoped. It's always been an in-demand game for Dreamcast collectors (in $20 – $70 range for a number of years), but has been gradually appreciating and rising on this list. There was also a tweaked version of the game released as Skies of Arcadia Legends on the Gamecube which has also maintained its value nicely.
Yu Suzuki's Shenmue project, which began development on the Sega Saturn became known as one of the most ambitious and expensive video games of all time. It had much hype, especially in Japan prior to its release. However, the joke was that every existing Dreamcast owner would have to buy two copies of Shenmue for the game to turn a profit.
To help incentivize pre-orders in North America, Sega offered a Limited Edition that had a special marking on the cover and included a soundtrack CD. There ended up being 30,000 of these Limited Edition units produced. Not especially rare, but they are not nearly as common as the standard Shenmue release.
While it did not get the attention of Street Fighter 2 and the Alpha series, Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is one of the best installments in the series, especially when it comes to finely-tuned tournament players. Its combination of smooth animation, great characters, and a new parrying system keep fighting enthusiasts coming back for more.
Even though the game was included on the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for the PS2 and XBox, and had HD remakes on XBLA and PSN, the Dreamcast version is still in strong demand. It hasn't really increased in value much (actually mint copies are just a bit more affordable), but still a nice collectors piece.
Here's the few titles that are especially hard to find out in the wild, but still have relatively low values. If you're thinking about building a complete Dreamcast library, you might want to keep an eye out for these.
This extremely limited version of Treasure's cult-classic shooter was given out to exactly five people as the top prizes in a Japanese high-score competition. While the game itself is identical to the original Bangai-O, the Prize Edition can be identified by a sticker and two phone cards with the Treasure logo on the case declaring itself as a winner's trophy.
The calling cards were signed by the game's lead designer, Hisashi Fujita and the award package also came a Bangai-O poster/flyer. The first two copies of these games have been sold, both very quietly. Its unknown the price of the first sale, but the most second was placed in the inventory of an online store for $500, and at that selling point was quickly snatched. That copy was confirmed to be missing the second phone card and sticker. A third auction settled in 2011 for $811, but there were suspicions about its legitimacy.
After the Dreamcast was already buried by US retailers and the last big name import releases like Shenmue II, Rez, and Ikaruga had been released, a small developer by the name of G.Rev (who worked with Treasure on Ikaruga) took a chance on the Dreamcast and helped start a trend of 2D shooters being released on the "dead" platform.
The production of this Limited Edition of Border Down was halted at 5,000 copies. Initially, it has the same print run as the standard edition, but the original has since been reprinted at least once, at least doubling its availability and the premium placed on the Limited Edition. The novelty of the release seems to have cooled down a bit in the last decade, however despite never being released on another platform.
The Dreamcast already had one of the best 2D fighting game lineups among consoles, but it is hard to be complete without a solid port of an installment of Street Fighter II. Super Street Fighter 2X is possibly the best console version of the game that started the 2D fighter revolution. Every sprite is perfect. Every frame of animation is there. And the gameplay is as good as it gets. In fact, the later HD remixes of the games were based on this Dreamcast version. Back when the Dreamcast was thriving, this port also utilized Capcom's online "Matching Service" for competitions.
This gem has nearly doubled in value since 2014. At the time, it was considered mostly a collectors item with many modern ports being great options for SSF2T fans, but the recent increase only solidifies this recommendation.
Price ranges shows are for games with case and manual since there are limited disc-only copies.
Evolution 2: Far Off Promise was a sequel to one of the early Dreamcast RPGs. It was fairly common in the North American dreamcast library, but it quite the rarity in PAL regions.
As you can expect, RPGs take extra time to work on localization. The game saw its original release in Japan in late 1999, was released in the North America in the summer of 2000, but didn't get released in Europe until November of 2001. By then, Sega had already announced that they were giving up on Dreamcast production. Since Ubisoft didn't want to see their efforts go to waste, they still released the game, but at cautious quantity levels and was reported to be only sold at the GAME chain of stores in the UK (although Gamestation end Electronics Boutique had been merged into the conglomerate at that time) . Evolution never did sell well enough to see additional runs.
It's been quite a challenge to find a complete copy under $200 USD, but you can score a bare disc for about $120 USD.
This odd combat action game with racing elements from Lost Toys and Take 2 Interactive is known as the only Dreamcast game to be exclusive to the United Kingdom.
Even though it was approved by German and French entities (and the back cover copy was translated into German), the game was never sold in retail in those countries. It was also intended to be brought to North America under the name "Ball Breakers", but was cancelled.
This racing game modeled after a French film is known for being the only Dreamcast game exclusive to France. The game itself is rather it notoriously bad for a racing game, but many PAL Dreamcast collectors typically are still on the hunt for this rarity.
There is quite a premium for complete copies of this game, but bare discs can be found in the $75 USD range. This is probably because most collectors probably don't want to bother with the game unless they have a boxed copy.
I have Project Justice, my rarest game. The most I've seen a DC game go for was over $200 and that was Shenmue 2 sealed. O and BTW great site I come here quite often to re-live the DC experience.
I have some pics of the Space Channel 5 boxset here, along with a lot of other Space Channel 5 stuff.
And thanks everyone for sharing additional titles and prices. I'll be updating this later on!
I've got 1 of the 5 Bangai-O prized edition collectable.
HAISUKOARANKINGU Tournament Final Results! !
Sorry to rez the dead but I happened to find a pristine (but opened) copy of Ikaruga and Bangai-O for five bucks at a store today. I asked how much they were and they said all Dreamcast games were 4.95 and buy one get one free.
It only took 30 years for me to have a bit of luck so I hope they last me for another 30.
Wow — that's incredible! Congrats on the awesome find!
I managed to snag Mars Matrix and Giga Wing, USA versions, for…. about 25 dollars each, complete and brand new condition. They aren't that rare, to be honest. I see MM quite frequently around here in pawn shops, and have even spotted it in goodwill a couple years back. However, I believe Record of Lodoss War is less common than either of the previously mentioned games, as I had a harder time snagging it in decent condition. And I have not seen it around here either.
Someone mentioned Chaos Field. It's a pain to find for the DC, but not Gamecube. Just throwing that out there.
Here in the west coast MM is no where near as common as Record of Lodoss War.
Anywho, I'm surprised Sonic Adv. Limited Edition isn't on the list or mentioned.
Regarding Speed Devils. I've been told by a few on social media that the variant was simply the original release with UbiSoft simply covering the logo on the manual cover with a sticker logo that doesn't have a cartoon devil. Maybe there is a printed version with the altered logo also???
Anywho, nice article. I'm just glad i have nearly every title on this list and then some.
Oh that's interesting to hear and would make sense! I've never picked up on that on the pictures… I'll have to see if I can see the details of the sticker edges on the photos.
What have you seen the Sonic Adventure moving for? I'll have to keep an eye out.
Sonic Adv. L.E. on average sells for about $500-$600 complete. It was a Hollywood video exclusive that was solely meant for rental purposes before the US launch if memory serves me right. Finding one CIB is a bit tough these days.
Hi. Very interesting to read the comments.
Samba box set,Moho,Evolution 2 and Third Strike. It's subjective about white label sealed copies of titles. But I've 2 Project Justices and a few other Capcom brawlers as white labels too. Jo Jo,s Bizarre Adventure has eluded me. Capcom Europe have let me know there was a promo copy released.
Wow that's incredible! Love hearing stories like that!
Of the better NTSC releases I have, I picked a lot out of the clearance shelf in Best Buy and the like.
Once the Shenmue games are released on PC, all I need from this system is Skies of Arcadia. SEGA also owns that so hopefully we'll also see a high definition release in the future.
I have an almost complete PAL set and one of the titles I found hard to come by was Monaco Racing Simulation 2 online edition, I did some digging and apparently even the developers themselves weren't aware it was released! Ubisoft just tacked an online mode to Monaco Racing Simulation and shipped it out towards the end of the Dreamcast life.
Ooh Very cool to hear — thanks for sharing this information. I will keep an eye on these and adjust the guide accordingly once I see more data.
I do not see it on this list but the Japanese Dreamcast set of Grauen no Torikago games is up there in terms of rarity with the Bangai-O prize edition. Literal Holy Grail to complete the set for Dreamcast collectors. Its a six game set and all of them were only released on the D-direct store online. Each game in the series gets increasingly harder to find and gets more expensive with Grauen no Torikago Kapitel 6: Senritsu being the cream of the crop and that fetches at least $400-$600 on its own complete. The entire set will run someone $800 bare minimum and thats being conservative. I put my set on Ebay a while ago for $2500 and it fetched immense interest. These games were like a Japanese drama interactive game or something and unfortunately they cannot be played at all with the servers down as online connectivity was required to play.
I'll have to look into those! A set of multiple games is a different comparison to a single game though.
But if I can find some good info, I'll work it into a revision of this guide.

MARITIME LAW /
24 Jan, 2016 MARITIME LAW 0
12. Insurance Claims
12.1 Target
Obviously, the person aiming at the target, the person claiming, must be a person insured under the policy. In the case of a company, this may be not only the company itself but also officers and employees of the company. In the case of a partnership, it is desirable that cover extends, as it may well, not only to current partners but also to former partners, as well as the persons named in the policy schedule such as employees.
When a person insured makes a claim, one of the first questions to be answered is against which insurer to bring the claim. Where the claimant has only one liability insurer, the answer is simple. However, when people are seeking to contract relatively large amounts of insurance, liability insurance included, one question to be considered is the excess: what part (if any) of the risk they are to retain themselves. A second question is what the monetary limit of the cover is to be. When obtaining liability insurance, people often do obtain it from a number of insurers, each insurer taking a proportion of the risk.917 In such a case, having contracted the insurance, the claimant must consider which insurer to target.
Next, to recover from the (appropriate) insurer, the claimant must establish the amount of the loss and that it was a consequence of an insured event.918 Finally, the insurer must indemnify the claimant—unless meanwhile the insurer can establish a defense, perhaps an exclusion,919 or that cover was vitiated,920 or simply that the loss claimed has not been established.
12.2 Information—In Good Faith
When making a claim the insured must supply the insurer with the information on the basis of which the insurer will decide how to respond. This obligation follows not only from the underlying duty of cooperation921 but also from the duty of good faith.922
Whenever the insured supplies information required by the insurer in order that the insurer may make a decision about the cover, the insured must observe a legal duty of good faith, a duty which continues throughout the insurance period at a level appropriate to the information and the decision in question.923 As regards a particular claim the duty of good faith ends when the claim has been met by the insurer or has been rejected in terms that make it clear that there is no more room for negotiation and that the insured must accept the rejection or commence proceedings.924
Hence the duty arises when the insured gives the insurer notice of loss, and in this connection, it has been long accepted that policyholders making claims must make "full disclosure of the circumstances of the case".925 Moreover, in view of the generally mutual character of the duty,926 it is at least arguable that the insurer owes a corresponding duty to the insured claimant, for example, a duty to disclose adjusters' reports.927
The strictness of the duty of disclosure (and thus of the duty of good faith) varies according to the phase in the relationship. It is "the relationship between the parties which is one of utmost good faith, and that there may be incidents of that relationship which require different duties, with different duties, in different contexts."928 Disclosure at the time of first contracting, for example, is required in respect of all material information. At other times, the level of duty "becomes more elusive."929 When a claim is made the rule is clearly different from that when insurance is first contracted. Innocent misrepresentation or nondisclosure at the time of claim does not defeat a claim; for that there must be fraud.930
12.3 Dealings With Third Parties
In practice, the insurer may have to deal not only with the insured but also with the third party with a liability claim against the insured. On the one hand, the insured will need to know from the insurer whether the third party's claim is covered. At the same time, the insured may still have a commercial or professional relationship to maintain with that person. On the other hand, the concern of the insurer will be to handle the claim in a manner that reassures the insured without, however, prejudicing the possibility of taking points later about whether the claim is covered by the policy. At the same time, the insurer has an obvious interest in seeing that the insured's defense to the third party's claim is handled in such a way as to minimize the insured's liability to the third party in case the insurance does indeed have to pay.
Sooner or later, the insurer will have to decide whether to exercise the right, found in most liability policies, to take over the insured's defense of the third-party claim.931 The insurer may prefer a strategy of "masterly inactivity," whereby the insurer does not take over the defense but does not deny liability to the insured either, but may mean that the insurer is liable to the latter for the continuing costs of the defense.932 In any event, the insurer will need information about the circumstances surrounding the claim and should not overlook that it may eventually face direct action by the third party.933
12.4 Assessing Claims
In these circumstances, the insurer is advised to demand to see and approve communications between the insured and the third party and seek an undertaking that what is stated by the insured is correct. This gives the insurer some idea about what is going on and gives the insured some reassurance that the matter is being handled properly.934 Alternatively, the insurer might exercise the right to take over the defense by appointing a solicitor to conduct the defense. Part of the mandate of the solicitor, who will owe professional duties to both insurer and insured,935 will be to investigate the circumstances surrounding the third party's claim. The insured is obliged to cooperate—usually by a term of the policy as well as by the general duty of continuing good faith.936 Only when the insurer has the facts will it become apparent whether there are likely to be issues with the insured about the scope or validity of the cover. With this possibility in mind, the insurer who takes over the defense is advised to make an express "reservation of rights" under the policy.937
If the insured and the insurer disagree about the merits of the third party's claim and thus about how best to respond, the issue can be resolved by reference to a third party, notably by means of the QC clause found in many policies.938 If they agree to contest the claim but lose, the insurers may be liable for the costs of the successful third party irrespective of the limit of indemnity under the policy.939
If they agree that the third party has a good claim and that it should be settled, apart from any relevant policy terms, the duty of good faith is triggered to govern the settlement.940 Usually insurer and insured have a common interest in agreeing the lowest possible settlement to be paid to the third party. Unfortunately, this does not always happen; sometimes, the insured retreats to a corner position and, like a prickly hedgehog, regards any other course as an unwarranted interference by the insurer. Sometimes insurers try to "wash their hands" of the matter perhaps in the hope that a prickly policyholder may overdo it—defend in a way which gives the insurer grounds for defending the insurance claim by reference to breach of policy conditions.941
12.4.1 Notice of an insurance claim
Assessment of the situation usually starts early. In all classes of insurance, a duty is implied by law that the insured must give the insurer notice of any loss believed to be covered by the policy in question. In the case of liability insurance, as with that of other classes of insurance, that depends on what exactly is covered; usually that indicates that the insured must give notice of a claim by a third party or of the likelihood of a claim (as the case may be) and thus of potential liability.
12.4.1.1 Basis of the duty to give notice
The legal basis of the notice requirement is either one of practicality to give the contract business efficacy942 or the general duty of good faith.943 In the case of a liability policy in particular, a condition commonly requires the insured to give to the insurer "notice in writing as soon as practicable of any circumstance of which they shall become aware which may give rise to a loss or claim against them"944 —a claim not only during the period of insurance but also later. This is to facilitate risk management by the insurer and follows from the standard extension of cover to claims actually made against the insured even after the insurance period has ended. The purpose of this notice (of suit) is different from the notice of claim, however, the rules of notice, mode, speed, and so on, are broadly the same, although the application and emphasis may differ.945
12.4.1.2 Form
Notice must be in the form required by the policy, that is, usually, in writing. If no particular form is specified by the policy, notice take any form and, although ill advised, it may be oral. Indeed it has even been accepted that "the fact that a document was not intended by an assured to constitute notice … did not preclude it from qualifying in fact as such a notice"; and that "an objective approach was required and that the subjective intentions and understandings of the party sending the notice were irrelevant."946
Whatever the form, notice is not usually effective until received,947 received by the right person, although it is not necessary that it should have come to the actual attention of that person.948 The right person is the person in the insurance company specified by the policy as the person to notify or, if no particular person is specified, the person apparently authorized to handle claims.
Even if notice to a particular place (such as head office) is required by the policy, the local agent of the insurer is usually authorized to receive notice and to pass it on to head office; therefore, it is enough for the claimant to give notice to the local agent to be passed on,949provided that it is given to the agent in time for it to reach head office in the normal course of business within the time allowed for notice. If any person (such as an insurer) holds an agent out as a proper channel of communication, it is that person (the insurer) that bears the risk that the channel does not work as it should.950
Notice to the insured's broker, normally the agent of the insured and not the insurer, is not effective notice,951 unless the broker has a dual role: that of acting for the insured as broker and also that of acting for the insurer for the purposes of communication.
12.4.1.3 Time
The time within which notice must be given to the insurer is usually indicated by the policy.952 A policy condition requiring notice within a stated number of days will be strictly enforced.953 More commonly it will require the insured, for example, "as a condition precedent" to the right to indemnity, to "give immediate written notice" to the insurer of any claim by a third party. Alternatively, the notice may be required "as soon as possible." Such words are not interpreted literally. They are usually interpreted as (only) requiring "reasonable notice" or, as some policies express it, notice "as soon as reasonably practicable." What is "reasonable" or "reasonably practicable" depends on the circumstances in which the requirement arises.954
The relevant circumstances are, on the one hand, the insurer's concern to be in a position to assess the strength of the third party's claim and, if appropriate, to defend it, and, on the other hand, the insured's ability to give the notice required.955 Clearly, it is not practicable to notify events of which the insured, whether personally or through agents, is not aware. However, the insured's awareness of a claim may come gradually and, if so, reasonable time may begin to run with a speed that increases with awareness.
In one case, it was held that the insured knew enough, if he "ought to have contemplated that it was an occurrence which might result in a claim for compensation".956 But other cases have held that there was no duty to notify the insurer until it was "plain" that there would be a claim under the policy.957 Commonly, however, the policy will deal with the matter by requiring notice when a liability claim against the insured is "likely" or even when the insured becomes aware of circumstances which "may" give rise to a claim.958 In any event, the insured's liability in respect of notice is objectively assessed959 with reference to what is practicable for a person in their position in the ordinary course of things. Little weight is given to personal factors such as their business convenience960 or, in particular, any wish that they may have to delay notice to the insurer in the hope that the problem will resolve itself and not affect future insurability.961
Breach of a notice of loss condition, it has been held, defeats the claim, whether or not the insurer was prejudiced by the breach.962 A notice requirement has been commonly described as a "condition precedent."963 Condition precedent is not the only possibility. In descending order of importance, the possibilities are that the condition is (a), as stated, a condition precedent so that breach rules out payment by the insurer; (b) a suspensive condition such that breach rules out payment until the breach is corrected; and (c) a minor contract duty, breach of which does not prevent recovery by the insured, but may render the insured liable in damages to the insurer for loss (if any) caused to the latter by the breach.964 Moreover, there is possibility (d): there may be "a term a breach of which was so serious for underwriters that it would give them a right to reject the claim without having to accept the breach of contract as being a repudiation of the contract as a whole".965 Such a term would be located at point (a) on the scale of importance and that would indicate that there are two kinds of condition precedent: (a)(i), a condition such that breach entitles insurers both to reject claims and to terminate the contract; and (a)(ii), a condition such that breach entitles insurers to reject claims but not to terminate the contract. However, possibility (a)(ii) has been rejected by a majority decision of the Court of Appeal applicable for all practical purposes to all liability insurance contracts.966 In any event the nature of such conditions is assessed in accordance with general rules of construction.967
Moreover, some policies provide that where the insured's breach of this or perhaps any other condition "has resulted in prejudice to the handling or settlement" of the claim, the indemnity "shall be reduced to such sum as in the insurer's opinion, would have been payable" in the absence of such prejudice. The inference is that, in the absence of prejudice, breach of condition does not adversely affect the amount payable, still less defeat the claim.968 In any event, although properly described as conditions precedent, notice conditions are conditions precedent to payment and not to cover itself; thus breach of notice conditions does not automatically discharge the contract, as it would if the conditions were insurance warranties.969
12.5 Establishment of Liability to Third Parties
A claim must concern liability that has been established, the meaning of which depends on the terms of the policy. A liability policy usually refers simply to the "liability" or "civil liability" of the insured.970 In this connection, the argument, that there is a general rule of law that a liability without actual payment of that liability does not constitute a recoverable loss, has been rejected.971
As regards the establishment of liability, according to the leading Post Office case liability is established "either by judgment of the court or by an award in arbitration or by agreement,"972 or, it seems, a default judgment to similar effect, even though the judgment can be set aside later.973 The Post Office ruling is not without critics974 and has not been applied entirely literally.
12.5.1 Proceedings
First, if liability to the third party is disputed by the insured in proceedings brought by the third party, the third party can nonetheless initiate third-party proceedings against the liability insurer, although the liability of the insured has yet to be established. The court will give its decision in the main action between the third party and the insured and then turn to the third-party proceedings.975 Note, however, that the insurer cannot take the initiative by obtaining a declaration that the insured is not liable to the third party: the insurer has no locus standi.976 Further, although in one case an insurer applied successfully to be joined as a defendant in proceedings,977 such applications are not likely to be made often.
Second, although liability has yet to be established and proceedings against the insured are pending, the insurer may nonetheless have an immediate "duty to defend" the insured, if the contract imposes such a duty.978
Third, a flexible view will be taken of what this means when liability has to be established in courts or comparable institutions of other countries or, indeed, in this country. Thus, it has been held that the determinations of the Pensions Ombudsman are "findings of legal liability" on the part of the insured to pay compensation in respect of maladministration of a pension scheme.979
In the Commercial Court in the Lumbermens case, Colman J took the view that to establish liability, the insurance claimant must show the actual amount of the third-party claim.980 This caused a problem in global settlements covering different claims and cross claims in so far as the judge thought that all these would have to be itemized before there could be a "settlement". A sum would have to be notionally allocated to each, a problematic process because even though the global figure might be acceptable there might be no agreement on particular items.981 Moreover, in some instances, agreement may amount to an admission of liability contrary to the terms of the policy. The judge's view was highly controversial.
Subsequently, however, in Centre Re v Curzon,982 Blackburne J took the view that, whereas the obligation of liability insurers to pay insurance money only arises when the liability of the insured is established, under section 1(b) of the Act the rights of the insured against the insurer are transferred to the third party on the making of a winding-up order, and so on, and that therefore a statutory transfer can take place before the obligation of the insurer to pay arises, that is, before the liability of the insured has been established.983 This view was subsequently preferred by the Court of Appeal in Re OT Computers.984
For liability arising before 25 March 2010, that remains the position. That was when the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 came into force. For liability arising after that date, on the insolvency of the person liable, although the third party "may not enforce those rights without having established that liability," the third party may then "bring proceedings to enforce the rights" of that person against the insurer "without having established" the liability.985
12.5.2 Agreement
Liability established by "agreement" includes any reasonable settlement by the insured with the third party, even if the cover is "liability imposed by law".
986 To establish liability by "agreement" is of great importance to those policyholders, who may well wish to avoid not only the cost of court proceedings but also the publicity associated with the proceedings.987 To deal with conflicts of interest of this kind, the policy may contain a QC clause. Typically such a clause provides that the insurer will pay:
any such claim or claims which may arise without requiring the assured to dispute any claim, unless a Queen's Counsel (to be mutually agreed upon by the underwriters and assured) advises that the same could be successfully contested by the assured and the assured consents to such a claim being contested, but such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.988
In some policies, the QC clause extends to any dispute arising out of the policy, so that the clause functions as an arbitration clause. The QC clause has also benefited the insured claimant in that it offered cover before liability had been formally established. Indeed it often carries a degree of ambiguity and hence circularity. The clause can be invoked by either party. To trigger the clause, it is assumed that the third party's claim against the insured is covered under the policy insuring clause. If the QC decides that the insurer must pay, the insurer is then still entitled to revisit the assumption that the third party's claim is within the scope of the policy or, accepting that to be the case, raise any defense available under the policy. If the insurer does not invoke the clause, however, the insurer cannot complain if the insured does not invoke it either and agrees a settlement with the third party.989
If the insured settles with the third party without the consent of the insurer, the insured has deprived the insurer of the opportunity to dispute the liability to the third party or to question the amount of the claim. However, if the insured cannot settle with the third party, the only alternative appears to be the onerous one of being led to court for liability to be established. Be that as it may, it has been plausibly argued that an insured may enter into a reasonable settlement with the third party only where the insurer has wrongfully repudiated liability under the policy,990 especially if the latter contains a "no compromise" clause.991
12.6 Insolvency of the Insured
Section 1 of the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 1930 provides that, if a person is (a) insured under a contract of insurance against liability to third parties and (b) becomes bankrupt or makes a composition or arrangement with creditors, the rights of that person against the insurer in respect of liability incurred to a third party are "transferred and vested in the third party to whom the liability was incurred". Given the potential cost of establishing liability, it is important to the third party to know what liability insurance is in place and that the insurance will respond. So, at the request of the third party, the insured is obliged under section 2 of the Act to give "such information as may reasonably required of him for the purpose of ascertaining whether any rights have been transferred." However, in some cases, a literal interpretation was put upon section 2(1), whereby the third party is not entitled to any of this information unless it could be shown that rights under the Act had been transferred to the third party,992 a barrier of circular reasoning to the intended operation of section 2.993 To break this barrier one leading judge took the view "that a statutory transfer can take place before the obligation of the insurer to pay arises, that is, before the liability of the insured has been established,"994 and some decisions followed his lead.995 In any event, to improve the possibility of direct actions, the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010, received the Royal Assent on 25 March 2010.
The 2010 Act has yet to come into force. The time scheme of the 2010 Act is that where both the policyholder's insolvency and liability to a third party occur before the 2010 Act comes into force, the 1930 Act remains applicable. Where they occur after that date a third party may "bring proceedings to enforce the rights" of the insured against an insurer "without having established" the liability of the insured, although the third party "may not enforce those rights without having established that liability": section 1(3). In particular, henceforward third party C may commence a single action to establish both the liability of insured B, as well as the potential liability of A, B's insurer, to pay the indemnity in question, without, as before, separate sequential actions against them.996 The resurrection of a defunct company will no longer necessary.
The main thrust of the Act is the transfer of rights and that C "may bring proceedings against [A] without have established [B]'s liability": section 1(3). Nonetheless "to the extent (if any) that" B's liability to C "exceeds the amount recoverable from [A] by virtue of the transfer" under section 1, C may still enforce B's liability to C: section 14(1).
The position of claimants under the 2010 Act will be better than before in that they are "in control" of the insurance cover, if any, and can ensure for example that it is not undermined by the failure of B to perform B's part in the insurance, such as giving notice of claims. Moreover, "pay first" clauses are inoperative, thus sidelining the difficulty they raise for claimants, and settling the controversy raised in the past by such clauses.997 Notable perhaps, is that claimants benefit from the disclosure of insurance information (although not documentation) before committing resources to proceedings. Disclosure of such information is dealt with comprehensively by section 11 and Schedule 1 of the 2010 Act.

Lumber Kings Bring 45 Players to Spring Evaluation Camp
The last time the Pembroke Lumber Kings were on the ice was when they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Brockville Braves, ending their 2021-22 season. That was on April 22, a night the Kings and Braves played into a fourth overtime period in game seven of their Central Canada Hockey League quarter-final series.
Some of the players who participated in that grueling affair were back in uniform this past weekend as the Kings held their spring evaluation camp in Arnprior. The veterans were mixed with newcomers, who were trying to leave a positive first impression with the coaching staff who now have the difficult job of trimming down the roster.
Forty-five players attended the camp. Half of them won't be invited to the team's training camp in August, but head coach and general manager, Alex Armstrong was impressed with the competition level during the scrimmages.
"The camp was very competitive. I was surprised by how much work the kids had put in as it was obvious how much they had improved since their seasons ended," says Armstrong.

The Lumber Kings are expecting nine players from last season to return for the 2022-23 campaign, but there are obvious holes to fill including the loss of defenceman Bruce Coltart who logged a lot of ice time after he was acquired mid-way through last season from Smiths Falls. The Kings are also looking for more scoring. They felt the sting of losing Brady Egan last year when the COVID-19 pandemic forced Egan to play in the United States. At the time, Egan was leading the league in scoring.

Between now and August, the Lumber Kings coaching staff will determine what players will make the cut to attend training camp. "We were pleased with the evaluation camp. It will be interesting to see who wins a job come August," says Armstrong.
The CCHL does not expect to release its regular season schedule until mid-July. The season will begin in September.

If biblical scholars relinquish the religious authority of the Bible in order to embrace secular or academic norms, they can still justify their labor through an appeal to the Bible's cultural influence. What happens, however, when it becomes clear that by ceding the Bible's religious authority, secular modernity has also unraveled its cultural power? Colleen Conway situates her study of the reception history of the biblical story of Jael and Sisera in this aporia by framing her history with discussions of a short story by A. S. Byatt that narrates the difference between a generation for whom the Bible has lost religious authority but retains cultural relevance, and a younger generation for whom it is simply a closed book (11, 146-60). Conway sets out to "examine the use of a cultural tradition, transmitted at an early stage by way of the Bible as it becomes ever more distant from a religious culture" (5). While Conway shows no discomfort with the trend in the West that religious cultures are receding, her book ends with a lament that "if these stories are indeed vanishing from our world, we are at risk of losing not just the stories, but also a powerful means of constructing and contributing to a common cultural discourse" (169). Conway does much to demonstrate the cultural vitality of people's efforts to rework a biblical story over the last two thousand years, but perhaps the most significant contribution of Sex and Slaughter in the Tent is to alert us to a potential identity crisis in Biblical studies. Conway's hope is that her cultural history will slow the loss of memory that would provoke said identity crisis. Whether her hopes are well-placed remains to be seen, but in the course of telling her story, she uncovers a very wide range of fascinating sources that I, for one, look forward to engaging directly.
The book of Judges recounts the story of Jael killing Sisera with a tent peg twice, once in a prose version in which Jael waits for Sisera to fall asleep and drives the tent peg through his head, and once in a poetic version in which Sisera is standing when she kills him. For Conway, this double narration allows her to drive home the point that she parts ways with an assumption in Biblical reception studies that what is at stake is the interpretation and dissemination of a previously stable object. Thus, the object of her study is not Judges 4-5 and interpretations of it, but rather of Jael and Sisera. The implications of this shift from a biblical text to the characters as such are clearest in her discussion of renaissance paintings. Here, she argues against a recent line of investigation into "visual exegesis," especially as advanced by Paolo Berdini (69). Rather, she takes seriously the fact of widespread illiteracy among artists, who would not have been able to read the Bible in order to exegete it. Rather, their immediate point of reference would be other paintings of the subject, pointing to a cultural mediation of the story of Jael and Sisera that does not rely on direct engagement with the Bible itself. Conway furthermore describes all of the versions of the Jael and Sisera story as performances, not productions, in order to differentiate her approach from previous critical approaches that incorporated Marxist perspectives (6). By thus depoliticizing the category of "performance," her methodological approach is in tension with her stated focus on the issues of sexuality, gender, and power (7).
The bulk of this book is a chronological survey of "performances" of the Jael and Sisera story, beginning with biblical and postbiblical retellings. These performances are primarily literary and visual; Conway notes in the acknowledgments that she did not include operas (xii), which would have allowed her to examine literal performances. Recurring tensions in the depiction of the characters occur throughout these performances. Is Jael morally praiseworthy or blameworthy? Is the story erotic or not? Does Jael model "womanhood" in an appropriate way—however appropriate is defined? What motivates the violence? How various agents resolve these tensions tells us much about the state of gender relations at any given stage in history. The shift from religious to cultural approaches comes in her chapter "From Allegory to Morality," where Conway notes how market forces in the sixteenth century shaped the representation of the characters. This is, significantly, where the book hits its stride. Not only does the argument sit more comfortably with cultural rather than religious understandings of the Bible, but once it gets to the Renaissance, it can incorporate juxtaposition of men's and women's engagements with the tradition. The juxtaposition of male and female voices is most productive in her examination of early twentieth-century versions by the poets John B. L. Warren (Lord de Tabley), Edwin Arlington Robinson, and Florence Kiper Frank. The subsequent chapter dealing with feminist reworkings in the novels of Joanna Russ, Aritha van Herk, and Sara Maitland vividly shows the tensions in 1970s feminism around the question of how understandings of female identity intersect with effective feminist strategy. Despite her protestation that examining all the representations of Jael and Sisera would be "tedious" (8), Conway has unearthed a wide range of cultural performances that give further texture to familiar stories of the cultural changes in the West over the last thousand years.

Rebel – Rahaf Mohammed
Rahaf Mohammed
SKU: 9780008412661 Kategorie: Biography, Nonfiction Tagi: New Release, Sale
'Through her courageous resistance, she has, for a moment, drawn global attention to the ongoing struggle of Saudi women. The striking image of a young woman, wielding nothing but a cellphone, facing down the force of an oppressive government is an apt metaphor for this fraught moment in Saudi Arabia's history.'
A gripping true story of bravery and sacrifice by a young woman whose escape from Saudi Arabia captivated the world.
In early 2019, after more than a year of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed boarded a plane and finally escaped from Saudi Arabia. If caught, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women who had tried to flee her country's oppressive regime.
But the eighteen-year-old only made it as far as Bangkok before her passport was taken away. It was a trick, and soon she found herself trapped, barricaded in a hotel room. As men pounded on her door, the teenager decided to reach out to the world on Twitter – and the world answered. Her account gained forty-five thousand followers overnight and offered her a vital lifeline. This was Rahaf's chance at a new life, the one she had dreamed of.
Now Rahaf tells her remarkable story for the first time and reveals the dystopian reality of what life is like for women within Saudi Arabia. From the guardianship system, which places unmarried women under the full control of their male relatives, to the secretive online underground network of Saudi runaways plotting their escape, Rebel is a gripping memoir of resistance and bravery by a woman determined to tell the truth about life in the closed kingdom.

Novel Roadmapping
Writing community spotlight: Q&A with Brian Paone from Fiction Writing
Categorised Writing
If you're looking to network with fellow authors, look no further than the social media platforms you visit every day. Facebook may be a great means of stalking your exes and checking up on your old high school nemesis, but it also plays host to a few phenomenal writing communities. The best of the bunch, in our opinion, is Fiction Writing: a general writing group that counts bestselling authors and novice writers among its 30,000 members.
What makes Fiction Writing so special is the supportive, drama-free environment it nurtures. Writers of every level of expertise are welcome, and you're encouraged to ask questions and seek advice about anything from sentence structure to finding an agent. The group also publishes a short story anthology every year.
We were lucky enough to chat with Brian Paone, the founder and head admin of the group, about what makes it tick.
Q&A with Brian Paone from Fiction Writing
Author Secret: Tell us a little about the Fiction Writing group. How did it get started, and what's your involvement with it?
Brian Paone: I founded Fiction Writing in August 2015 after I had been the head admin of another group called Writing Fiction. The founder of that group, who disappeared for a while, leaving me to run the group, returned and didn't like some of the changes I had made. I had grown the group's membership from 300 when I took over to almost 3,000. But he still thought I was doing it wrong, so I left the group and decided to start my own writing group. And here we are, with 30,000 members.
AS: What are some of the unique features or quirks of the group?
BP: We have our very own Book of the Month Club, where the books we select are member-written only. Every day has a theme: Marketing Monday, Timely Tip Tuesday, Fiction Friday, Social Media Saturday (you get the hint), and we also publish a yearly anthology called the 'Of Words' series, where every story in the anthology comes exclusively from group members. The books are traditionally published through Scout Media and each one has a different theme. The 4th volume in the series will be out early 2018. The responses have been so overwhelming that we have decided to start releasing 2 anthologies a year, starting next year—one in the spring and one in the fall.
AS: Membership currently stands at just over 30,000 people, and the group is growing at a phenomenal rate. How do you manage all that activity? Give us a "behind-the-scenes" glimpse!
BP: Honestly, I have my admin and two moderators, and they do an amazing job. I am also very hands on with the group, and I spend quite a bit of my time making sure there is no bad advice disseminated and everyone is being constructive and not offensive. I'd like to think the exponential rate we are growing is due to positive word of mouth from existing members telling their other writing friends what type of group we are.
AS: One of the most impressive things about the group is how positive the general culture is amongst the members – no small feat, considering the size of the group. How do you manage to cultivate a largely drama-free platform?
BP: I don't tolerate or pussyfoot around when someone is being degrading or offensive for the sake of riling someone up. We have too many members for me to ____ a member. So you don't get too many second chances if you're being disruptive. Members are fantastic at tagging me or my admins if it looks like another member is crossing any common courtesy lines. We encourage opinions, but I don't tolerate bullies or blatant hate-speak.
AS: Tell us about the "Of Words" anthologies.
BP: They are an annual anthology published by Scout Media in paperback and eBook worldwide. The stories are made up exclusively by Fiction Writing members. Each book is themed but never genre based. The 4th book is coming out in Spring 2018, which is called "A Contract of Words" (each story must involve a contract of some sort). Our previous editions have been "A Matter of Words" (2015, where there was no theme; sky was the limit), "A Journey of Words" (2016, where each story had to involve a journey), and "A Haunting of Words" (2017, where each story had to involve a haunting of some kind. The interesting thing about this one is we had less horror than anything else. There were many romance-haunting stories etc). Next year we are going to be doing 2 books.
AS: In your opinion, what makes the Fiction Writing group so special?
BP: The vast diversity of authors we have who are active in the group. We have everyone from NY Times Best Selling authors, to authors who have had their books adapted into films, to traditionally published authors, to self-published authors, to writers who have written a plethora of work but never published, to the first-time novice writer just starting out on their journey. And in the group, there is no status pecking order. No one is treated better than anyone else.
AS: You're a published author, a police officer, the vocalist for four bands, the owner of a publishing company, a professional copy-editor, a husband and father of four. How did you learn to survive without sleeping?
BP: Sleep is for the weak. I also don't let distractions get in my way. I have eliminated binge watching mindless television and I have learned not to procrastinate. I maximize every hour I'm awake to be working on SOMETHING productive: editing a client's manuscript, working on my own next novel, doing administrative business for the publishing company, checking through FW etc.
AS: What do you think it takes to make it as an author these days?
BP: Thick skin, perseverance, a good team of support (spouse, editor, graphic designer… contrary to popular belief, writing a novel is not a one-man showTwitter ), and a good grasp on marketing and promotion.
Thank you once again to Brian for chatting to us about the group, and for playing host to such a fantastic community for writers everywhere!

BizKonnect helps global companies to increase B2B sales globally. Our clients include Startups, SMEs as well as established global enterprises.
Our more successful customers are the ones who have clarity in terms of who their prospects are, have some customer base and they want to scale up their sales leveraging the sales intelligence and business connections. We cater to both solution selling (product or domain based services) as well as relatively more transactional services selling. Our customers use light sales intelligence like contact lists of technology users to execute their marketing campaigns. Once they get initial interest from a prospect, they leverage our deep sales intelligence reports like Heat Maps ( Organization charts with relationships and insights ) and BANK reports to understand their accounts in depth. Many of our customers leverage our personalized email campaign services to get meetings. Our Event based campaigns are also very popular amongst sales and marketing professionals to make their event participation more effective.
One of the leading Applicant Tracking Software ( ATS ) company based in the US has been leveraging us to get light sales intelligence. They get contact list of 5000 HR decision makers from the companies having No ATS but who have more than 5 job openings. This is a great target prospect for them because presence of recent jobs indicates growth of their prospect and probable need to leverage an ATS. We also provide them alerts for any of these NO ATS prospects moving to an ATS. It is very likely that such a prospect will be evaluating new ATS in the first 3 months and the trial period will be the best period for our client to approach them.
One of the leading Travel and Hospitality Technology company focusing on the reservation software ( CRS ) and Property Management Software ( PMS) is leveraging us to get deep sales intelligence BANK reports and Organization charts. They get these reports for the accounts where they have got an initial interest and now want to qualify these accounts to provide the right solution.

A product engineering services company focusing on the US and Europe market : This client had tried different ways of increasing their leads including – cold calling agency, local US partner – none of this worked for them. The company had very good network in the US and excellent reference customers. BizKonnect leveraged their existing ecosystem and helped them with lead generation and qualification. In this case, the primary metrics for the client was the number of qualified meetings with the decision makers. According to their Sales head, other partners gave them one meeting in 6 months whereas BizKonnect gave them 6 qualified meetings in 1 month period.
A Healthcare product company with global presence. The company wanted to expand its client base in the US leveraging the current marquee customers. They have one of the biggest hospitals in the US as their client and hence very deep network of references on the East Coast. With the company's CEO and founder having the deepest product knowledge and being the best sales person, the challenge was to pass on the sales strategic approach to the new sales team in the US. BizKonnect's BANK configuration and strategy map helped the company to map CEO's sales approach in the BizKonnect's platform and then track it with the global sales team leveraging the strategy map and action workbench. The key success factor here was the quality of the strategy map with all the decision makers, pain points and competitive information mapped. What made the difference here is the quality of research to get the accurate data related with the hospitals and doctors.
A Financial product company with products in treasury and wealth management. The company focused on the APAC (Singapore and Hong Kong) and European market. The use case was to get the right indicators mapped to the platform to get the accurate research information and map it into the strategy maps. The company acquired a marquee private bank in Switzerland and wanted to approach with that reference to the other banks in the European market. The same use case was leveraged in the APAC market. The key success factor was accurate research after acquiring the domain knowledge.
A leading solutions provider for the renewable energy finance industry. The company is based in the US and wanted a partner to understand the domain and help with the lead qualification.
