Back to topScaling the Great Divide: How ProSight Specialty is Building the New Model of Insurance
- Speakers:Joe Beneducci, ProSight Specialty Insurance
Digital disruption has driven a “Great Divide” in the insurance industry – carriers feel they must decide between being a low-cost provider or a high-value provider. ProSight Specialty Insurance Founder and CEO Joe Beneducci has scaled that divide by establishing a hybrid model that includes traditional insurance business, an exclusive set of nearly 30 independent brokers, and a direct-to-customer platform. As the industry continues to shift, how can insurers strike the right balance between meeting evolving customer demands while providing best-in-class technology and service?

Back to topBringing It All Together: Going Beyond Insurtech To Build A True Innovative Organization
- Speakers:Rob Galbraith, The End Of Insurance As We Know It
In a rapidly changing world of anticipated game-changing technologies coming to the world of insurance, new solutions are being deployed on a daily basis. The vast potential for insurtech to revolutionize all aspects of the insurance value chain cannot be understated. However, to be successful in a world of exponential change, technology by itself is not the main limiting constraint on organizations. Large barriers for organizations to successfully deploy new products and services to customers include a talent gap, connecting disparate technology pieces and parts of your organization, limiting constraints in support areas such as procurement and IT and a failure to think big enough. Learn about the scope and breadth of ways insurtech will fundamentally change insurance over the coming decade and, most importantly, strategies to ensure your organization takes advantage of the coming seismic shifts in the competitive landscape.
Audience Takeaways:
- Gain an understanding for the breadth of potential that technology has to fundamentally change all aspects of the insurance value chain and why your entire organization needs to adopt an insurtech mindset
- Develop an ability to separate hype from reality and understand the big data, talent and innovation challenges associated with rapidly deploying technology-enabled solutions
