We’re proud to be part of Richard Smith’s packed week! He’s playing with fire when taking us on – on Tuesday; on Wednesday he’s with the firefighters.. here is Richard talking to us on Linked in.

“Playing with Fire and Payroll” is my theme for next week …

Suddenly it’s October and dashboard is hip! I’ll be speaking at:

Dashboard makes pensions universal, and now everybody wants to hear about it!

We open things off on Tuesday (our formal invite is below) but we are only kicking off a feast of opportunity provided by R Smith to learn how the dashboard will effect out lives.

Here’s our formal invite..

Richard’s session has a title that will be

“The Pipes, The People & The Payoff”

This will focus  on Culturalization & Consumer confidence.

He will also take us on a quick run through on how data connection is now done, potential data quality issues and beyond.

Richard will then take a deeper dive into Culturalization, i.e. how do we bring the Money Helper Pension Dashboard (MHPD) to the public consciousness making it part of the UK’s civic architecture?

What about Consumption confidence? Is this all about plugging MHPD data into Guided Retirement , Retirement-CDC, Whole of Life – CDC, etc. etc.

Some dates that Richard will  focus on:

1. Connection completion (2026)
2. Culturalization (2027/28)
3. Consumption confidence (2029)
