Driving innovation in the digital ecosystem of insurance

Crisis is often the catalyst for innovation and the recent pandemic was a driving force behind the rapid digitisation of the insurance ecosystem. The sweeping changes demanded during the pandemic accelerated the adoption of technology immensely and will have a lasting impact on the insurance industry.

The events of the past two years highlighted weak spots within the current state of the insurance ecosystem. New challenges and limitations exposed the broken, offline, data-starved, and paperbound processes that have long created inefficiencies. In addition to being inefficient and costly, these established and inflexible workflows frustrate customers in ways the insurance industry can’t continue to hide from.

While it can be difficult to see a silver lining in any crisis, the pandemic provided essential insights. It exposed these industry challenges and gave no choice but to accelerate digital investments that create productivity, simplicity, intelligence, and value. As a result, there has been an unprecedented shift in how brokers and insurers conduct their business, with a new focus on digital connectivity.

This eBook focuses on the forces reshaping insurance and how brokers can embrace practical innovation to create simplicity and connectivity in order to drive success.

Topics covered include:
• A technology cautionary tale - IBM vs Amazon.
• Four forces shaping the future of the insurance industry.
• Driving innovation through the digital ecosystem of insurance.
• Plugging into a digital insurance ecosystem.
• Opportunities for independent brokers, insurers and insureds.
• The dynamic and evolving digital ecosystem of insurance.
