Digital Insurance transformation is
changing the Insurance company from
a back-office administrative oriented
organization with an internal focus to
a client centric service oriented
organization communicating through
internet and social media.

The transformation to a Digital Insurance Company will substantially change
the business model and operating model. The size of the change depends on
the speed of the market changes in the coming years, the digital strategy and
current readiness and capabilities of the organization.

Organization transformation
 Marketing will have a leading role in the Digital Insurance Company. Data of all
sorts of social and other media will be analyzed to improve the understanding of
customers and risks and push the right offer and the right time to the customer.
 Product Management will be in charge of technical product specifications, product
management tool and underwriting. The role will change as the time to market will
be short and based on Marketing data more new products and product features
will be pushed to the market.
 Sales & Distribution will reduce a little as more new business (simple products) will
be purchased online and on mobile devices directly by the customer.

Organization transformation – cont’n
 Operations will be reduced largely as processing and claims departments will have
less processing work due to straight through processing and automated business
rules replacing manual work. Furthermore the operational business will be more
efficient and effective due to the use of BPM, BRE, Case management, MIS and
Data management tools.
 Finance will be reduced as financial processing will be STP automated, monitoring
and reporting will fully automated and reduce the manual work in Finance.
 HR and General support will be reduced as less personnel is required in the Digital
Insurance Company.

Organization transformation – cont’n
 IT will face a major transformation from a reactive organization managing
inflexible back end systems to pro-active agile organization closely working with
Marketing to push the right technology innovation to the market.
 IT will be reduced as part of today's work will move to the business, for example
product development will be done by Product Management with Product
Management Tools. Process improvement will be done directly by Operations in
the BPM/BRE/MIS/Case and data management tools.
 IT technology budget will increase as more systems/tools are necessary to run the
Digital Insurance Business but this should not result in more IT staff. Staff profile
will change from Back End system maintenance to technology innovation.

Transformation options assessment
Transformation approach
 The market will not wait until an internal transformation is finalized, a long lasting
internal transformation with high risk of not delivering is not advisable.
 A Greenfield approach where is a fast method to deliver Digital Insurance without
jeopardizing the current business and resistance of the current organization.
 Outsourcing is a good option providing the quality of the provider(s). Outsourcing
however needs a lot of management attention as it creates internal resistance.
 A combination of a Greenfield, outsourcing and internal transformation is a good
compromise however it will take more time to finalize the transformation.
