A Look Back to 2013
Futurist Jim Carroll spent time with CEO’s in the insurance industry in 2013 in a small, intimate industry session. What were they worried about in 2013?
- Biggest challenge and opportunity is ability to develop a relationship with the customer
- Mobile technology is key in forming that relationship
- Can we meet the expected customer experience fast enough
- Disintermediation coming back with a vengeance
- Do we have the agility and flexibility to align ourselves to rapid customer expectations
Disruptive Insurance Trends
Pre-Covid 19, the insurance industry was already in the midst of significant upheaval – Futurist Jim Carrol was covering many of these disruptive trends at industry and corporate events worldwide, including these issues
- Insurance industry was already in midst of massive
disruption pre-Covid - As a result of massive hyper connectivity we were
dealing with massive disruption with acquisition channels - As a result of social media branding, mobile
technologies and other influences are attracting new consumers - Real time risk underwriting
- Shift in speed of change in the industry as insuretech and fintech companies come to drive the innovation agenda
- HBR reports 70% of insurance executives believe the pace of change is being set by technologically savvy companies
- That in itself drives the need for digital innovation
Thinking At A Macro Level
How has Covid-19 Changed the Business World? These are the big changes which have occurred!
- Covid has changed and shaped the transformation
agenda for many organizations - Virtualization of entire industries overnight!
- Impact is that organizations have learned something new
about speed and agility as they have had to
practice what they preach
- We have had to move so fast that the decision making paralysis has come to an end
- New winners are emerging with key success factors for moving forward being speed, agility and flexibility
- You are either a part of this transformation or you’re not!
Covid Has Held A Mirror to the Insurance Industry
Customer Relationships Have Changed Forever
- Covid has highlighted where things are broken or in some cases where innovation and transformation is absolutely required
- Think how businesses around you have changed because of Covid
- Customer relationships have forever changed
- Biggest changes in customer acquisition, interaction and support
- We have seen a complete transformation of how customers expect to do business with us
- Ask yourself – how hard is it for your customers to do business with you today?
- Every organization is now ranked against the best – Amazon, Apple and other digital leaders
- Customer expectation of sophisticated self service interactions; an instant buying process with instant confirmation; and personalized, relevant recommendations
- Without these you face an increasing loss of loyalty and customers
Your Customer is Now in Charge of Your Destiny
Your customer now controls your future destiny – and if you don’t innovate in this context, you are lost!
- You need to deliver simplicity on top with complexity underneath
- A robust, scaleable customer focused infrastructure
- Competition has been redefined!
- Customer is now in charge of your destiny
What Do You Need to Do? Reframe Your Innovation Agenda
- Innovation is not just about new products
- Innovation is asking how do we run the business better, grow the business and transform the business
- Many insurance companies have focused on seeking efficiencies and cost savings
- But have you looked at how to innovate with distribution channels or how to speed up product innovation and development
- Covid has put digital transformation to the front of the innovation agenda!
- Have you reassessed your innovation agenda?
How Are You Doing in This Innovation Journey?
- We are only at the starting stage at the transformation experience
- HBR study – only 7% of insurance executives believed their entire operations were digitized, barely 1/3 ranked themselves at a 8, 9 or 10 out of 10 on digitization
- Having a transformative mindset is key!
- The speed with which new customer demands are emerging is staggering
- Check your speed, is your company able to move with the sudden shift of customers to the online world?
- Companies talked about collaborative workforces for years, suddenly massive virtualization of entire workforces happened overnight
- Agility. Flexibility. Speed. Your new reality!
