Is the ‘Insurtech revolution’ over? Max Drucker, CEO of Carpe Data and I explore this and other questions on this week’s The Leadership in Insurance Podcast . We also discussed the refocus of Insurtech from revolution to measurable results using an evolutionary approach. 🎯Yes I’m talking about really understanding the ROI of insurance technology purchasing.Insurtech is no longer about generic use of technology and AI but rather discrete solutions (often bought off the shelf) with specific use cases focused on incremental changes, created by those with insurance expertise:🙋Think… taking two steps out of an underwriting process rather than changing the whole process.➡️ Importance of discrete data sources properly prepared that enhance predictions and automate decision-making to enable carriers to make better decisions and manage risk rather than overwhelming them.

In this week’s unusual The Leadership in Insurance Podcast 🎧we have an all FinPro line-up - Rebekah Bostan, Director of Operations and Hattie Armstrong, Lead Consultant where we discuss the gender imbalance in the Insurtech community and what we can all do to rebalance.💡We all know the stats (🤔see below in case you’ve been living under a rock) female founding team outperform, yet women are still underrepresented in leadership roles. The We Are Insurtech Women Community was borne out of a frustration to readdress the balance.Women only make up 18% of insurance C-Suite (according to McKinsey) but yet account for half of the insurance workforce….. and this is even lower for Insurtech.McKinsey has also shown a direct correlation between gender diversity and increased profitability💸— companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on their executive teams are 21% more likely to outperform.BCG found that companies founded or co-founded by women perform better financially, generating 10% more revenue over a five-year period than male-founded businesses. They also found that they generate 78 cents for every dollar of funding, compared to 31 cents generated by male-founded startups. Creating more gender balance should be a business priority but also a societal focus – ⬇️minimise gender biases in funding allocation ⛔remove barriers to women’s entrepreneurial journeys caused by continued gendered parenting and caring responsibilities 🤝create inclusive networking opportunities for women to build networks that meet their needs and requirements… whilst avoiding ‘fixing women’ events📣Listen all the way through to hear my easy wins for hiring and retaining diverse talent and creating a more balanced workforce.Give this one a listen via the link in the comments below 👇 👇 👇Curious about how to build and grow virtual and geographically diverse teams as a start-up?

On this week’s The Leadership in Insurance Podcast 🎧I talk with Denise Garth, Chief Strategy Officer at Majesco where we take a deep dive into the topic of the moment Gen AI and why the ROI of removing legacy tech debt is higher than you think.We discussed how insurance is at a crossroads ,🎌with changing risks due to climate change and changing buyer demographics amongst other drivers, and why insurers need to take a step back and take time to review their business systems and technology models - in particular their 💽legacy debt to really activate innovation and productivity. ➡️Moving away from legacy technology allows organisations to get product to market quicker, better manage or even reduce risk, improve underwriting using AI, as well as activate overall productivity gains through the use of Gen AI (👇 listen in for some impressive stats on the impact of moving away from legacy tech debt)We also discuss how growing availability of high quality data and increasing use of 💻AI/Gen AI is creating a challenge for insurance leaders who are now also running technology businesses. It also changes who we need to hire into the insurance world – with more of a focus on genuine knowledge workers who can make decisions based on insights produced by AI, instead of keying in and out data.Give this one a listen via the link in the comment below 👇 👇 👇
