The Perils and Promise of Insurtechs
Because of their legacy and sheer size, most insurers' cultures make it difficult to act with agility. The nimble, focused nature of insurtechs can help insurers' respond.
For some insurers, working with insurtechs allows them to pursue innovation without disrupting core operations.
For many insurers, it's easier to authorize a larger investment in an insurtech than it is to integrate its technology.
Reinsurers are finding new routes to the customer, both through primary clients and by creating alternative brands.
For many insurers, the most important takeaway from dealing with insurers is exposure to faster-moving, adaptive cultures that embrace, rather than reject, change.
