The Rise of the Exponential Underwriter

Underwriting transformation means more than automating routine tasks and augmenting teams with emerging technologies and alternative data sources. Insurers need to hire and develop exponential underwriters with new skill sets and enhanced responsibilities. This requires implementation of interdependent initiatives. We’ll discuss:

• New roles underwriters will fill, including tech trailblazer, data pioneer, dealmaker, portfolio optimizer, and risk detective.
• The gap between capabilities that exponential underwriters will need versus what insurers advertise.
• A road map to coordinate the transformation of data and analytics, technology, strategy, and governance, as well as talent and culture.

Participants will explore the benefits of exponential underwriting and the risks of a delayed or disjointed transformation.
