The insurance market is seeing accelerated change. The nature of risk is altering. Customer expectations are shifting. Products are evolving. 

Exponential technology change only intensifies this impact. The intersection of technology and business will drive market innovation; it is the next industrial revolution.

New mind-sets will be needed to be successful, but predicting the direction of change is becoming harder. You need to be adaptable. Applying digital sticking-plasters over legacy is no longer enough.

Data

Growth of the data driven society, and hyper-connected business and individuals will fundamentally change the nature of risk insight and customer interaction.

Intelligence

Rapid improvement and ease of access to machine learning, capable of augmenting human capability, will allow organisations to redefine service and costs. However, the human side of insurance services will still be core to designing new customer service models.

Platforms

The scalability and lower barriers to entry of cloud based platforms are changing the nature of market competition, but also offer new models for partnering to deliver new service offers.

We understand that every client is at a different stage of their digital maturity and will have a unique set of business challenges and priorities they will need to address.

Our flexible digital transformation framework sets out six key areas of a digital operating model for insurance organisations required to create competitive advantage in the emerging insurance marketplace.
