As we wrap up another eventful and informative year of “On Point” episodes, your host Peter van Aartrijk details the front-seat view he had of Hurricane Helene as it came ashore in St. Petersburg, Fla. Disasters are macabre events to watch from afar. But up close? In a word, surreal. Peter, his family and neighbors experienced what many Americans have witnessed amid fires, earthquakes, floods and convective storms. Put simply: The impact is devasting financially and emotionally. Moreover, Helene is a sad reminder of the lack of overall consumer trust in the basic insurance product and process. The mistrust and misunderstanding is deep. Combined with other factors in and out of the industry’s control, the situation is simply depressing for this four-decade insurance writer, observer and communications guy. On this recording Peter also provides some preparation reminders for natural disasters — assuming you have some advance warning — as well as advice during cleanup.

In this episode, Jason Ott, President of Aon Private Risk Management, and Diane Delaney, Executive Director of the Private Risk Management Association, spoke about the biggest cyber risks faced by high-net-worth individuals and how insurers can help navigate them. From social engineering scams to fraudulent electronic fund transfers, the risk environment is every changing.

Honeycomb Addresses Multifamily Housing Coverage 38:26

cách đây 9 ngày trước38:26

On this installment we’re joined by Itai Ben-Zaken, founder and CEO of Honeycomb, an MGA with AI-driven technology to analyze aerial photographs of commercial building roofs to assess their condition. Honeycomb launched with admitted markets but recently expanded to E&S, opening up more opportunities for retail agents to place tough risks. For example, many carriers are active in multifamily property but carve out anything older than 25 years. With 80% of these structures built before 2000, that means 80% of the market is underserved, Itai says. Honeycomb’s “roof model” is hyper-specific, giving underwriters more confidence to take on risks even in troubled areas. Itai also comments on the broader state of insuretech. He sees an opportunity for innovators particularly in the environmental space. “If weather patterns are changing, the traditional insurance models are not accustomed to working with that.” This episode of Insurance Journal’s On Point podcast is sponsored by AM Best Information Services .

What Do Your Customers Really Think? 46:57

cách đây 23 ngày trước46:57

Do you truly understand your policyholders, distribution partners and employees? Do you have a clear lens into what competitors are doing? If your organization attempts to get feedback all by itself or relies on ad-hoc, anecdotal feedback from key stakeholders, you will miss opportunities to evolve and innovative. On this recording, research whiz Mackenzie Wilson unpacks best practices. Customer experience work “is the foundation of any business,” she says. “It doesn’t matter how big or small you are.” Yet, only about 30% of firms in any industry—and even lower in insurance—have a formalized program for voice-of-client experience. As much as they talk about it, they don’t really invest today as they should.” They also are missing the employee perspective with surveys that don’t generate authentic and actionable insights. Often, the initial corporate reaction to research “is very tactical and one-off. Everyone is so excited to get feedback. But they don’t understand how it can be operationalized instead of being a single transactional movement.” Firms should implement a standard, ongoing protocol for capturing the voice of key business partners, Mackenzie says. In this way, they’ll be more proactive and reach out to diagnose problems. “Why do people build products or services? They want to solve a problem. Any new initiative started with a problem.” She also reveals a few tricks to get customers to spill a little extra “tea” during interviews.

A major workplace challenge is basic human communication among the age groups. How can we create a workplace culture where all four working generations thrive? “Culture Doctor” Warren Wright returns to On Point with insights. Generational conflict impacts teamwork, productivity and retention. Workplace preferences are varied: Boomers and GenXers value stability; Millennials and Gen Z seek rapid growth and flexibility. Younger generations thrive on innovative digital tools and quick feedback, while older generations want to stick with what works. On this recording, Warren also unpacks fascinating takeaways from new research on how consumers of different ages approach insurance buying — and how the generations view insurance agents. Warren will present on these topics at the annual “Ignite” conference hosted by the Insurance Marketing & Communications Association, or IMCA, in Scottsdale this June.

Rainbow Founder Eyes 3 Keys to Specialization 36:16

The danger in writing all small commercial lines is becoming a generalist, says Bobby Touran, who a few years ago founded Rainbow, a restaurant-focused MGU insuretech. Rainbow distributes through independent agents—who he calls “critically” important. Listen as Bobby unpacks three strategic concepts behind Rainbow. “We wanted to be very specialized in classes of business,” he says. “We felt restaurants were a distressed category within small commercial. They were still reeling from COVID, lock-downs and inflation.” He observed other insuretechs taking “a very binary view on the role of technology: a tech-only or human-only experience. We didn’t see examples where purpose-built software was combined with human expertise.” That includes underwriters “making good judgement calls at the margins. We wanted to keep humans in the loop.” Bobby also comments on a specific behavior of successful agents he’s met.

Cyber Insurance: Navigating the Ever-Changing Risk Landscape 3:47

As cyber threats evolve, the insurance industry struggles to keep pace, leading to shifting policies, increasing exclusions, and unexpected coverage gaps. Watch this highlight from the latest Cyber Insurance podcast with host Elizabeth Blosfield and guests Melissa Ventrone of law firm Clark Hill and Arthur Armstrong of law firm Reed Smith. To watch the full episode, visit https://www.insurancejournal.tv/videos/25038/ Topics covered: The Wild West of Cyber Insurance – Unlike traditional coverage lines, cyber insurance lacks historical precedents, making policy interpretation challenging. Policy Gaps & Hidden Limitations – Insurers often introduce exclusions and sublimits, leaving policyholders unaware of reduced coverage until a claim arises. The Need for Expert Guidance – Legal professionals play a crucial role in helping clients understand policy nuances and avoid costly surprises. #CyberInsurance #RiskManagement #InsurTech The post Cyber Insurance: Navigating the Ever-Changing Risk Landscape appeared first on Insurance Journal TV .…

AI Is Barrier-Buster for Business & IT 31:25

Most insuretechs aren’t about flashy consumer-focused websites. They improve the plumbing — all the workflows behind the scenes never seen by agents and consumers. Sound exciting? Well, it sure is for Aaron Wright, director of strategy at Earnix, an insuretech supporting carriers’ pricing and underwriting with AI and machine learning. Aaron emerged from the carrier side, where he saw first-hand the inefficiencies plaguing the industry: “What did my well-paid actuaries spend 60% of their time on? Moving things between systems and validating if they copied and pasted things accurately from Excel. Much of this inefficiency and duplication of work was caused by the artificial barriers we put up between IT and business.” Are you a left-brain, rationale thinker? Well, here’s a guest for you: “I was drawn to insurance in college because an actuarial career sounded good. A career combining mathematics, statistics and computer science — what’s not to love?” (Yeah, what’s not?) The post AI Is Barrier-Buster for Business & IT appeared first on Insurance Journal TV .…

Dispensaries may be getting a bit of a break on employment practices liability insurance in recent times as capacity grows and insurers get better at evaluating the risks at these operations—and therefore become more comfortable with them. Nick Matsie, an assistant vice president at Berkley Select, is seeing a softer EPL market for dispensaries and other cannabis businesses.

On this recording we welcome back Dave Tralka, our knowledgeable and friendly banker who understands a thing or two about independent agents. Dave is CEO of InsurBanc, the financial institution launched by the Big “I” to support agents’ growth. Dave lucidly covers today’s business opportunities for agencies as well as the broader landscape over which they don’t have much control. Strategic loans to buy other firms or books, hire producers, and install new technology are available. But, “agents are generally debt-adverse,” Dave notes. “The most successful business models I have seen in 20 years of working with independent agents are that the over-performers are doing it both ways. They’re focused on organic growth. And they’re taking an opportunistic approach through acquisitions — in geographic regions, in markets, in specialties, etc. If you can accomplish both of those…, you have a home run.” Listen in to hear how firms are generating tremendous profitability, cash flow and resultant long-term growth.

Here’s a chance to meet a driven, dynamic leader in Omari Aarons-Martin, who oversees the National African American Insurance Association. Omari outlines the history of NAAIA, founded by an independent agent 28 years ago. With 2,700 members and 24 chapters nationwide, NAAIA represents every industry sector and is dedicated to members’ professional development and empowerment. Your On Point host naturally asks the honest (if cringeworthy) questions you’ve come to expect on race and racial issues. And Omari deftly educates! Diversity means different things to different people, he says. Thus, he encourages insurance organizations to be specific about any talent gaps. “Give yourself permission to say, for example, ‘We want blacks and African Americans.’ We have been unwilling as a society to do that. It makes us uncomfortable. It pits people of color groups against each other.” He advises, “Start with the group you have the largest gap in,” and never stop paying attention so that your organization is future-ready to serve the customer.

When we started our “bimonthly trip into the intersection of two industries that couldn’t be more different,” we were in the grips of a pandemic and cannabis legalization was sweeping states across the country. Episode 1 aired in May 2020 with a few industry experts talking about how the industry would weather the pandemic and an eventual return to normalcy. Four years later and the industry is still kicking—though federal legalization is probably about as far away now as it was then. One of our first podcast guests was Morgan Fox, who is now the political director NORML.

Property losses and coverage woes are all over the national news: fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods. As a result, new home buyers are fearful of the risks and costs of owning property. On this recording, we hear key findings from consumer research on home ownership from Kimberly Burdi-Dumas with DocuSketch. The insurance industry has an opportunity to educate Generation Z on home protections, the research suggests. DocuSketch provides accurate, consistent views of property losses to eliminate claim disputes. Kimberly says was “born and bred in insurance. My parents started a restoration company back in the 1980s before restoration was even a thing. We were called ‘carpet cleaners.’ I remember mixing chemicals.

On this installment, we check in with Luke Bills, president of independent agent distribution for Liberty Mutual’s U.S. retail markets. Luke outlines challenges for agents, including consolidation and pricing. Agents have had to deal with suffocating rate increases in recent years—“there was nowhere to hide from that,” Luke says. While auto rates are stabilizing, property is another story: “I don’t see a soft market coming,” he adds. Looking down the road, he says he is “very bullish on the IA channel. This [hard] market has shown the value of the independent agent.” With homeowners having to manage more risk and costly assets, and as insurance coverages “gets more expensive and availability gets more challenging, consumers need to have choice and expert guidance. That’s what independent agents do.” Captive agent models, too, “are moving toward finding choice,” he adds. The post Market Forces Impact Personal Lines appeared first on Insurance Journal TV .…

Who remembers when you’d never think to “bring your whole self to work?” Boomers do! But today’s workplace is vastly different. Bosses need to watch for signs of employees’ mental health issues. On this recording, we hear from Travelers’ Joan Woodward, who highlights key findings of a new study on the pervasiveness of mental health in the workplace. Joan oversees the Travelers Institute, a public policy platform within the carrier to educate the public about all things insurance. Joan provides actionable, step-by-step guidance for managers on how to properly meet their workers in this space. Some 66% of managers have had conversations with employees about mental health, yet only 45% have received training on exactly how to talk about it.

That’s the prediction of Bryan Davis, who leads VIU, HUB’s online insurance platform for consumers and business partners. Most insurtechs aren’t profitable, he says. On this recording, Bryan outlines the underlying reasons why the pressure is on insurtechs, such as more expensive investment capital and incomplete end-to-end technology. He also challenges agents and brokers to focus on sales and leave back-end processing and follow-on service instead to efficient business partners. Also, for all the emerging talent needed to join the insurance industry, Bryan defends the value of the beleaguered liberal arts degree.

Carrier Pro Turns Parametric 40:19

cách đây 27 weeks trước40:19

40:19

Listen in as insurance carrier veteran Jamie Luce, who recently founded a startup, says parametric products are an “untapped” pathway to unleash more value for customers, agents, insurers and reinsurers. His firm, AIR Parametric, provides commercial customers with financial protection to mitigate the short-and long-term revenue shortfalls and expense overruns of unanticipated, extreme weather events. (Think heat spells, cold snaps, excess rainfall.) These weather events typically don’t cause physical damage to buildings or equipment — but can have devastating effects on productivity or customer behavior. For example, outside temperature is a big deal for farmers raising hogs, swine, cows, cattle or poultry. Cows produce less milk amid extreme heat, and a parametric contract offer financial relief. These products can work in tandem with traditional insurance. You’ll enjoy Jamie’s take on how a slow-to-evolve industry could innovate with new approaches to consumer needs.

Insurance Marketers: Get More AI Smarts 36:22

You’ll enjoy the interesting life and business journey of our guest Satvinder Kaur. She’s originally from India, and marketing executive roles at various carriers led her to the USA. Most recently she oversaw the brand refresh for the agency network Acrisure. Today, Satvinder urges insurance marketers to learn all they can about AI and employ new tools for customer acquisition and engagement. She has built a framework for learning: Her new “Find a hack” innovation workshop helps marketers discover pathways. But a dose of reality is in order, too. “Remember when smart phones were the talk of the town?” Satvinder asks. “You don’t hear people now saying, ‘The smart phone is my edge.’ AI will be like that. We’ll all have it.” She advises insurance marketers to “find the problem you want to solve. It’s not the problem the AI vendor is bringing to you, where maybe they solved a problem for a luxury brand. Find your own problem to solve.” The post Insurance Marketers: Get More AI Smarts appeared first on Insurance Journal TV .…

96: CBD’s Gray Area an Opportunity for Insuring Cannabis Specialists 20:29

CBD, once considered a safer cousin to sell and to insure than marijuana, has become a bit of a gray area for regulators and insurers. That’s because of the lack of regulatory guidance, and the fact that the Farm Bill has yet to be finalized. There’s a level of trepidation in the insurance industry, but one insuring cannabis specialist sees the CBD space as an opportunity for producers. For our latest podcast, we spoke with Summer Jenkins-Wilson, a principal with Capital Green Consulting.

AI Not Just for Expense Management 39:38

cách đây 31 weeks trước39:38

39:38

The insurance industry is experiencing the infancy of general AI — not generative AI, but general AI, according to thought leader Bryan Falchuk. He’s an author, speaker and CEO of PLRB. “Specific AI is like having a cake recipe, all the necessary ingredients, and you bake the cake. General AI is asking, ‘Here is what’s in the fridge; figure out what to cook.’ It’s looking at the world around you and thinking of paths forward.” Bryan says viewing AI for expense management is not the path to profitability and change. “If we think of AI as just an efficiency tool, we won’t get the full value out of it. Because even if you squeeze a few more points out of the expense ratio, that won’t change the game. The path to ultimate success…Is where there are things that humans can never see as pieces of a disparate jointed puzzle, but humans could help orchestrate the coming together of that puzzle with the right AI tools. For us that means more coverage at a lower price for more risks, underwriting profitability and claims excellence, which is ultimately what we should be doing.” Brian also argues what is required to retain talented younger workers.
