averse culture that reduces incentives to take additional risks and

innovate.

What is insurance?

What is innovation?

Innovation is the development of new ideas and their economic

applications as new products or processes.

An innovation increases profits:

-  on the value side (creates additional value for which customers

pay more)

-  on the cost side (more efficient production)

What is innovation?

The right environment

- Give people the space to think and grow. They need time to read, reflect and share

ideas with others

- Make sure that mechanisms exist which allow both organizational and peer

recognition for excellence

- Help, guide and empower people by removing any real or perceived barriers

- Take personal risks, because in large and bureaucratic organizations it is often more

productive to ask forgiveness than permission

Innovation = risk

What is innovation?

Insurance has often acted as a spur for innovation, but the industry

itself has been rather sheltered from disruptive forces.

True? Insurance has a tremendous track record of innovation,

including for instance mortality tables developed by British 18th

century mathematician dr. Richard Price.

Is insurance sector ready to innovate?

Lloyd's is the world's specialist insurance market. Unlike many other

insurance brands, Lloyd's is not a company; it's a market where

members join together to insure risks.

Lloyd’s has a tremendous track record in insurance product

innovation including the first Earthquake cover, the first cover for

cars and planes and the first satellite cover.

India has 800 million people who carry a cell phone.

In Africa, there are an estimated 735 million mobile phones.

In India and Africa insurers managed to transform its business to mobile phone

based, simplify it and dramatically increase the availability of insurance.

Interestingly, in the US with widespread internet access and ubiquitous apps,

insurers are still figuring out how to best benefit from digital technology.

Digital technology

Big data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex that

traditional data processing applications are inadequate. (Wikipedia)

It can replace underwriting expertise when it comes to less complex

risks like in case of: -  car insurance: 20% of the UK motor market is written online based on pre-

programmed rules. With advent of self-driving car it might dissaper

-  natural catastrophe insurance: the complex wind models combined with

granular property data make the underwriter obsolete.

Big Data
