Notes from the episode In the industry, we don't tend to own up to what went wrong in a project because it doesn't serve those involved to publicly call out struggles or failures Without this honesty on what the struggles were, what goals weren't met and why, the failures and mistakes will keep repeating themselves When choosing a system or vendor, you should look at a few and not just only look at one as it robs you of realizing all the variations and gaps out there so that you can see them in the choice you make There is a difference between CX and Digital Strategy, and many carriers invested in the latter without realizing they weren't addressing the former There's a lot of work to be done to think about how policyholders, agents or brokers, partners, etc - everyone you work with in a positive experience rather than just a digital way As we think about autonomous cars, it's hard to know what the world will exactly look like, but it will likely be a mix of Personal and Commercial exposures, with shared liability The real issue becomes if you don't even own you cars, and Uber and Lyft or whoever owns everything, and then it's all clearly a Commercial exposure Agents are still needed because even simple products exist in a context that may have complex needs Digital products are usually simpler or simplified, and that still leaves space for agents, which is sometimes for political/channel conflict reasons, but also because it is hard to buy many of these products as they are without help The rise of Low Code / No Code solutions is great, but they often sit on top of legacy systems, so there is still a lot of change needed We talked about a lot of the new and exciting things going on Usage-Based Insurance Continuous Underwriting Micro-Insurance Point of Sale Insurance or Embedded Insurance Parametric Policies Gig Economy Policies that are hybrid of Personal and Commercial Insurance works best when it covers a broad set of risks, but some of these new types of products (Micro, UBI) get much more specific, which sometimes is great, but sometimes can mess up the economics All of the startup carriers are really pushing the innovation of the industry; some will work out and be adopted by other carriers and some won't, but that will show us what does and doesn't work This episode is brought to you by Medallia (Medallia.com), and the book series, "The Future of Insurance: From Disruption to Evolution" by Bryan Falchuk (future-of-insurance.com).

From the future of branches (maybe brighter than you fear) to the profound impacts Covid-19 may have on your credit union, this conversation with longtime banking analyst Bob Meara, now a senior analyst with consulting firm Celent, will get you thinking.For starters, accept that very probably Covid-19 will work lasting changes on how your credit union does business - and very probably there will be growing acceptance of digital tools that will last beyond the pandemic.Face to face as a primary interaction will lessen as a result of the virus, he said.But Meara also is something of a branch optimist, especially regarding credit unions.  Some mega banks are unquestionably over branched, he admits, but few credit unions are.  What he sees is that many credit unions need to make progress in deploying branches more effectively as tools for relationship building.Members don't need branches for transactions.But many still want them for relationships, advice, help.Along the way, Meara tells why video tellers have been something of a failure, and also why digital only banks mainly have sputtered.  But he also talks about where credit unions need to play catch up - think digital transformation and, especially, digital account origination (opening a new account needn't necessitate a branch visit!).Like what you are hearing?
