The Future of Insurance: AI, Automation & Digital Transformation in Europe

Property insurers underwrite homes and businesses based on geography, using zip codes, census blocks, or in some places, an entire county, to create a base rate. But within those territories, buildings may have a vastly different risk profile based on how close they are to wildfire zones, fire stations, or water sources.  Is it time for insurers to begin harnessing geospatial underwriting – the ability to rate an individual property based on its specific location? 

Join Insider Engage, in partnership with Guidewire, for a free webinar, 8 am PT, 11 am ET, 4 pm BT on April 13, as we explore the opportunities and challenges of using geospatial data to develop more accurate rates and maximize profitability.
Discussion questions include: 
--Overview of how properties are underwritten today
--Where underwriting territories fall short
--What geospatial tools are available to improve underwriting today
--What geospatial tools still need to be created
--What regulatory challenges do insurers face when moving to geospatial underwriting
--What is the future for geospatial rating

Eliminating Underwriting Territories: Is it Possible?

Whilst conditions in the market have changed dramatically since half-year 2022, FTI Consulting’s European Insurance M&A Barometer for 2022 shows that the dealmaking pace set last year has largely continued, setting new record volumes. While insurance transactions are not always officially announced, which may mean volumes are understated, 2022 witnessed a continued increase in European M&A activity in the insurance industry, with 435 deals announced compared to 379 in 2021 and 285 in 2020. As rising interest rates start to bite and debt financing becomes more expensive amidst the looming recession threat the opportunities for certain deals may start to narrow. Whether valuations reduce as a result remains to be seen. Despite prevailing conditions, high levels of ‘dry powder’ in the market, built up during the pandemic period from record fundraising rounds, continue to enable Private Equity funds and Private Equity-backed portfolio companies to deploy capital to suitable opportunities, albeit more cautiously.

Join Insider Engage, in partnership with FTI, as we discuss the M&A landscape in 2023 in a free webinar to be held on March 22nd, Wednesday. 3pm GMT.

Discussion questions include:  
1.  A review of the European Insurance M&A 2022 highlights
2.  Macro outlook and impact on deal activity and valuations
3.   US cross-border broker acquisitions and new wave of consolidation in Continental Europe
4.  Perspectives on the P&C legacy market
5.  The influence of Private Equity

Age Inclusivity and Empowering a Mature Workforce

With a majority of reinsurance contracts renewing on January 1, reinsurers, cedants and brokers faced a hectic – and late -- renewal season. In addition to macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility, reinsurers faced an increased frequency of extreme weather events in recent years, which has resulted in some reinsurers shifting away from natural catastrophe to more profitable classes of business. Rising inflation and a looming recession were among the hot topics during this renewal season, as well as cedants’ increased demand for reinsurance against a backdrop of tighter capacity. 

Join Insider Engage, in partnership with KBRA, at 10:30 ET/3:30 BT on FEB. 7, 2023 for a free webinar that looks at how the January 1 renewals have impacted the market. We’ll consider issues including a possible recession, reinsurers’ shifting risk appetite, and capacity shortages that are driving higher rates and more complex negotiations.

Overview of Jan. 1 renewal market process
Update on capacity: where was the market tighter? 
 Where do you see it going for the remainder of 2023?
Was there adequate capacity?
What did you see in rates, terms and conditions? 
What is the impact of the changing risk appetite landscape?
How is the possible recession impacting the market? 
Will Lloyd’s reduce the capacity of its syndicates if they can’t obtain adequate reinsurance cover? 
What is the impact of the currency volatility on reinsurance markets? 
How is Hurricane Ian impacting the market?

Pricing, Capacity and Recession: 1/1 Renewals Aftermath

Against headwinds including raising inflation, increasing natural catastrophe claims, and growing competition, Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers are facing increasing pressure to write profitable business. While insurers often focus on improving their catastrophe and actuarial modeling for accurate yet profitable premium predictions, improving back-office functions like manual underwriting processes, and ensuring seamless experiences for policyholders to pay premiums and receive claims, could also have an impact. For instance, a recent study shows that certain P&C insurers could increase their revenues by up to 28% within five years, reduce claims payouts by as much 19% and cut policy administration costs by as much as 72% by implementing digital technologies in their operations. Innovative insurers are striving to provide this seamless inbound and outbound payments experience by using digital platforms that are aligned with customer’s preferences to potentially boost policyholder retention and acquisition. 

Join Insider Engage, in partnership with Worldpay from FIS, for a free webinar, 10:30 ET, Nov. 17, as we explore how digitizing premium payments and claims disbursements could help shave points from insurers’ loss adjustment expenses and combined ratios, while improving the policyholder experience.

 --What challenges do your customers face when buying a policy? 
--How failing to meet changing customer habits will cost you business?
--How removing friction from your payment systems lowers customer acquisition costs?
--The best products to leverage with digital payments now?
 --Why allowing customers a broader choice to pay the way they prefer best could reduce your costs?

Women in the C-suite: Addressing the Market Shortfall

Underwriting is the foundation of the insurance industry. Optimizing underwriting and underwriting operations is crucial to the success of a carrier and any intermediary with binding authority.  
 
While tremendously important, the underwriting workflow still has several unresolved pain points relating to data compilation, analysis, input, and rekeying. Intelligent automation is the solution to these challenges, and can lead to an increase in productivity, performance, and profitability.  
 
AI-powered intelligent automation solutions automate these repetitive tasks, eliminate manual rekeying, alleviate bottlenecks, and free up time for higher-priority work. But to reap these benefits you must successfully implement an effective solution into your underwriting workflow. This can seem like a daunting undertaking, but it doesn’t need to be.  Join this free webinar, in partnership with Eigen Technologies, 4 pm BST, Sept. 29, 2022, to hear from industry experts on their approach to implementing intelligent automation solutions.  
 
What you’ll learn from this webinar: 
•             How to identify the processes that will benefit most from automation 
•             How to choose the right technology partner for your business 
•             How to set and manage stakeholder expectations 
•             What the implementation challenges are and how to overcome them  
•             How to harness the power of AI without losing the human touch

How to Implement Intelligent Automation So It Truly Works in Underwriting

The cyber insurance market is set to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25% between 2022 and 2028, to reach a market size of US$28 billion, according to RMS. But the nascent cyber market is different from long-established natural catastrophe peril markets, which are well understood in terms of loss experience and is underpinned by trusted analytics from catastrophe models. Unlike natural catastrophe risk diversification, where insurers can diversify risk by geography or peril type, the cyber landscape is too complex and highly uncertain. Is it time to manage cyber risk like catastrophe risk? 

Join us 10 a.m. EST, Sept. 22, for a free webinar, offered in partnership with RMS, where we will explore how reinsurers should be preparing for a cyber catastrophe.

Discussion questions include:
--How do you define a cyber catastrophe?
--Has the insurance industry already experienced a cyber catastrophe?
-- How should reinsurers be managing their cyber risk when the average time to detect and contain a cyberattack is nine months, (according to The Cost of Data Breach Report by IBM)?
--How have cyber cat models evolved?
--What should reinsurers be doing to manage their aggregation risk?

Mutual Insurers: More Than Meets the Eye

The U.S. is the epicenter of wildfire risk. All but three of the 19 most expensive wildfires, costing more than $1 billion in losses occurring in the U.S. Of all wildfire losses paid by the insurance industry since 1950, 70% has occurred since 2015 alone, according to Aon.

Wildfire, Wind & Rain: Insurers Bracing For Cat Season

As we enter cat season, property insurers are facing an explosion on both severity and frequency of claims, now more than ever compounded by economic and social inflation. Please join us for this free webinar, offered in partnership with Markel, at 10 a.m. on June 8 as we will explore threats including: 

--Secondary perils outpacing traditional hurricane and earthquake risks;

Property Insurers Face Escalating Risks: Inflation, Litigation & Climate Change

The climate threat, global unrest, ESG priorities, the impact of pandemics, and the shift between hard and soft markets all underline the need for data-enabled underwriting and better insights.  
 
Data today often doesn’t look like the traditional information used by insurers, such as tables, charts and similar data structures. Apart from the changing volume, variety and velocity of data, business needs are also becoming more complex. So getting the strategy and approach right is crucial – the stakes have never been higher.
 
This webinar will investigate the digital transformation journey for underwriters – breaking it down into four steps to deliver dynamic, future-proof underwriting. We’ll be focusing on what good looks like for underwriters: what the common pitfalls are as insurers walk the path to harnessing the full potential of the data in their business, and why each step is necessary on the path to reaching that potential.
 
•  Data Platforms: discover how modern data platforms provide a firm foundation for data-enabled underwriting, enhancing underwriters’ skills and delivering a strong competitive advantage.
•  Knowledge Engineering: we investigate why insurers should strengthen their platforms with advanced digital tools and treat data as code, to better integrate data and maximise its value.
•  Data Enhancement: how underwriters can get ahead of events, become trusted risk advisors and increase customer lifetime value.
•  Data Industrialisation: we explore how data should be viewed as a product with multiple use cases and applied at scale to achieve precise business objectives.
