Introduction:  The  need  to  transform  

•  While  some  in  the  industry  are  leveraging    technology,  many  others  are  running  out  of  excuses  not  to  do  so.    

•  Digitization  is  becoming  ubiquitous.  

•  The  goal  is  not  to  displace  or  replace  people,  it’s  all  about  empowering  and  enabling  stakeholders  with  tools.  

•  Changing  demographics  are  causing  larger  flux  in  other  industries  and  we  need  to  be  paying  attention.  

•  Managing  customer  expectations  is  a  crucial  task  with  both  consumers  and  all  your  other  customers-­‐your  staff  and  field  professionals.

•  Digitization  is  more  of  a  cultural  destination  than  a  specific  thing,  so  be  careful  of  IT  shops  bearing  gifts…  

•  Dynamic  infrastructure  via  cloud  delivery  is  impacting    insurers  from  their  IT  shops  to  their  Actuarial  departments  

Digitization:  It’s  not  just  an  IT  thing,  but  that’s  where  it  shows…

Managing  data  quality  is  key  to  high  performance  for  carriers      •  Clean,  accessible,  and  agreed  upon  data  is  a  critical  source  of  truth  &  

knowledge  for  any  insurer.  •  Insurance  data  is  the  only  natural  resource  

available.  •  The  quality  of  data  

is  more  important  than  ever  as  the  precision  of  our  decisions  increasingly  relies  on  it.  

•  Investing  in  data  management  with  an  emphasis  on  the  data  that  impacts  claims  is  crucial.

Successful  carriers  who  adapt  and  leverage  modern  technology  will  be  the  leaders  of  tomorrow  

•  Understanding  the  pragmatic  use  of  digital  technology,  and  mobile  devices,  dynamic  infrastructures.    •  Finding  and  using  the  information  and  knowledge  currently  trapped  in  the  unstructured  text  fields.  •  Routing  information  to  the  right  stakeholder  and  alerting  management  as  early  as  the  situation  calls  for.    •  Engaging    potential  distribution  professionals  with  new  technology,  and  not  using  it  to  confront  established  producers.
