Key Points and Findings

Product innovation and speed to market are key to growing market share. Improved product modeling and management capabilities are vital to revenue growth in a highly competitive market.

Insurers are improving digital customer experience, but they still have work to do, especially in post-issue service. Insurers are investing in straight-through processing (e-apps, e-delivery, e-signature), and COVID has boosted interest in digital initiatives.

Successful insurers are expanding the use of AI, business intelligence, and analytics solutions to recognize and analyze market trends, product adoption, and producer performance. Some insurers are also using AI for customer service or underwriting, with COVID clearing roadblocks to adopting medical underwriting alternatives.
