Opportunities

Digital transformation is about strategy, culture and talent development. It is about employees with digital mindsets, who are rethinking business models while being agile and fast.

There is a need for developing Technology/Digital Savvy and data literate talents who can:

  • enable innovation
  • better analyze and visualize customers’ data, needs and behaviors
  • integrate Big Data into the decision making processes
  • develop new products that can better meet customers’ expectations

Insurance companies need to:

  • add more value to their customers through enhanced communication and personalized products/services. While one of the most prevalent obstacles in the insurance industry was the reluctance of the customers to share personal data, now with the COVID-19, this is changing as customers are willing to share personal data for the sake of enhancing their customer experience
  • work on the key principles which fortify customer relationships: integrity, resolution, expectations, time and effort, personalization and empathy

There is also need:

  • for operational enhancement projects
  • to modernize the internal legacy IT systems
  • to digitize the exchange daily operations of data
  • to forecast and identify the customers who will be mostly affected by the fragile economy
  • to recognize the correlation between the operational improvement, the digital enablement and the customer experience
