The ValidPath Nestionnaire

There's been quite a bit of media comment, and plenty of hype from NEST themselves - but surprisingly little response from our industry. Several insurers have said that they will 'wait and see' what the response is to NEST, before launching an alternative.

We think that will be too late, too reactive - and will miss some real opportunities. That being the case, it seems that now is the time to be planning ahead. To help us in this process, we'd be grateful for your participation in the following 'Nestionnaire'. ValidPath, amongst other unique qualities, is not afraid of the Bad Pun.

Your Name:

Your Firm:

How closely have you followed the media reporting on the development and implementation of NEST?

To what extent would you say that you are familiar with the detail? Have you, for instance, visited NEST's website?

Do you look on NEST as a threat or opportunity, or something else?

According to market research where will employers look as the primary source for advice on NEST?

Do you think there is money to be made here by intermediary firms which get themselves organised?

If ValidPath provided employer-oriented materials to help you advise and consult in this area, would you use them?:

If, through our industry contacts, ValidPath were able to provide you with a competitive alternative to NEST would you use it?:

Are there other issues here which you feel might be relevant to ValidPath's NEST working party?

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. When you press 'Send', your responses will be submitted to ValidPath.
