Track 2: Resilient Living
The business of insurance is quality risk data, using powerful analytics to ensure that whilst the financial burden of an incident is transferred, it is within careful calculated margins of profitability. But good insurance companies will only partner with organisations that take their resilience seriously and leverage good risk data to identify and fix vulnerabilities. The democratisation of insurance data to clients provides a range of synergistic benefits, lower premiums, lower claims, less harm to people and shorter business interruption. The theory is simple, the reality less so - our experts look at how this mutually beneficial approach could be better orchestrated.
