Seit gut siebeneinhalb Jahren haben wir uns in nun schon 459 Folgen mit weit mehr als 500 Menschen darüber unterhalten, was sich für sie beim Thema Arbeit geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass es gerade jetzt wichtig ist. Denn die Idee von “New Work” wurde während einer echten Krise entwickelt. Wo liegen die zentralen Herausforderungen für die Unternehmen angesichts der aktuellen Lage? Welche Rolle spielen dabei international aufgestellte Unternehmensberatungen wie Oliver Wyman und Warum ist es gerade jetzt der richtige Zeitpunkt, Arbeit neu zu erfinden? Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

They dive into the known tech challenges existing within our currently fast evolving digitalizing insurance space, why an experimentation culture is critical to drive the relevance & resilience business needs today, what are the most effective paths for evolution, reinvention & consideration, & insights on how businesses can leverage tech ecosystems to scale digitally-driven revenue models. KEY TAKEAWAYS          I started creating business applications when I was 13 years old & have been writing software ever since. I've been doing this in the insurance world for about 30 years. With Oliver Wyman we've been able to create a team that's able to build tools at speed that really improve our clients' businesses. InsurTechs have admirable qualities of being able to runs experiments & take them to investors & get feedback even in the early days then pivot on the back of those results. They can quickly create real, tangible products that people can touch, feel & react to which creates a new round of experimentation including more people giving feedback, more experimentation & more changes. We wanted to bring that into a corporate environment that didn't have the experience of that agility. The idea of responsible innovation is super important. There's nothing wrong with the big corporate machine because it does a lot of things well. It protects the risk agenda; it enables bullet-proof technology that's very stable. We have a very large client that we've done innovation for & we're beginning to scale that in the enterprise. We're not thinking of this in three lanes: The innovation group, the BAU support group, and the enterprise architecture group. One of the things that's fraught with peril in any IT organisation is when we go from development to beta tests, to launch, to productions support. Are we doing those things better? Is there less drama? Thinking through those early experiments & really demonstrating to people that the process is yielding that benefit/business change faster, with less investment, than an 18 month requirement process, an 18 month build & then a 12 month implementation. With the right experiments & stakeholder team we seeing those metrics trending in the right direction.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We're still seeing some bureaucracy, which means it's hard to maintain momentum. We wanted to break the bounds of the culture a progress in weeks not months.'‘There's a lot that we can do to improve business processes & be responsive to our business users by running small experiments.'‘The most important part of measuring success starts with picking the right experiments up front.'‘We can begin to measure by throughput: Is this process of experimentation actually getting us to faster, better business results, implementations, & hand-offs.'

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Brian McDermott, Chief Information Officer at Victor Insurance. This podcast will be a little bit different. As Steven Abel is going to join us to highlight the value of the Oliver Wyman relationship with Victor Insurance, as a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan. Indeed, in the complex world of business, speed to value when delivering technology is critical & Victor Insurance has found a critical partner in delivering tech among others with the Oliver Wyman team. KEY TAKEAWAYS An MGA is a company appointed by the insurer, typically the carrier, to exercise supervision & oversight on specific & targeted insurance programmes. We do everything an insurance company does but we don't source the capital, the carrier is the source of capital for us, they manage the risk in terms of the capital. We underwrite the risk on behalf of others & we do a lot of the administration on behalf of the carrier, claims processing, servicing, transaction  processing, connecting with the broker, handling of insurance fees & processing of any financial aspects. We operate in 8 countries. The majority of the revenues & premiums derive from the US, around 80% left-side of the globe, 20% right-side. But, we do see immense opportunity on the right-side of the globe because it's an untapped opportunity in territories with products & service offerings that we can provide. That's a key strategic focus as we proceed. Typically, InsurTechs' challenges include having great product but limited premium running through the platform because of the leverage they have with their carriers to bring those products onto the platform.  We differ from Marsh McLennan in that we're a full, front to back insurance company: We do placement of products through our digital portal experiences, policy servicing, claims processing, data reporting & analytics, & underwriting. Marsh McLennan are a re-insurance broker, they don't typically do underwriting. Our technology environments differ in that they're built for different scale – we're low premium, high volume, March McLennan operate in a different market segment; enterprise, high-end businesses, we operate in small/micro market. We have to build scalable, fast products whereas Marsh is more of a heavy touch relationship-based business with their clients. So it's difficult to align with them completely but there are a number of areas around complimentary services. BEST MOMENTS ‘We're trying to become the Amazon for brokers in the small, commercial & speciality marketplace.' ‘One of the key challenges I have is to make sure that we can modernise while we integrate as we go on our journey towards the future.' ‘We sit in the middle of the value chain with the broker on the left hand side, supporting the insured, & the carrier on the right, they provide the capital to us.' ‘We need to make sure that we harvest the data insights that we have: historical claims & underwriting data - & augment it with tools like machine learning, AI, data ingestion & enrichment.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Brian McDermott is the Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Victor Insurance, a leading global provider of specialty insurance programs & a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan. Brian brings a wealth of experience to his role, with a career spanning more than 30 years in diverse industries such as retail, insurance, finance, & government. Known for his disruptive thinking and innovation within the IT field, Brian is constantly exploring new ways to leverage contemporary technology & drive digital transformation within the insurance industry. In his role as CIO, Brian is keen to embrace modern technologies & help drive the agenda within the broader Marsh McLennan corporation. His unique perspective, stemming from Victor Insurance's position as a high-volume, highly transacting business, enables him to provide valuable input on the digital connection between the market & the brokers & clients they work with.

In this week's episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we bring you coverage of the annual S&P Global Sustainable1 Summit held in London on May 8.   We sit down with panelists on the sidelines of the event to discuss key conference themes, including data challenges related to climate, nature and the energy transition; the role that technology and innovation can play in addressing these challenges and the potentially transformative role of AI; and the challenge of sustaining economic growth in emerging markets while accelerating the transition.    "We don't have enough actual innovation, we don't actually have enough quantum of finance going into developing countries," says Sagarika Chatterjee, Climate Finance Director and Finance Lead for the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions. "This is absolutely critical because this is where a lot of the emissions is going to come from. We can't change the past and the energy system of the past, but we can try to change the carbon that we have in future.”    For emerging markets and developing countries, "the lack of data is the biggest problem," says Budha Bhattacharya, Head of Systematic Research at Lombard Odier Investment Managers. If companies in developing economies embrace sustainability, "a huge amount of capital unlocks," he tells us.    Christopher Johnstone, a partner at management consultant Oliver Wyman, highlights the need for more asset-specific data to understand how companies will be impacted by climate change and biodiversity loss, and he explains the role AI could play here. He also talks to us about how approaches to sustainability are evolving around the world.    "Historically people have seen the climate, sustainability or the ESG agenda as being a very Western agenda," Christopher says. "What I am more and more seeing is this is a core topic across lots of different emerging market economies — even a large number of economies that would traditionally be seen as oil-based. They see the energy transition as actually being a key economic enabler and a growth lever as they look to move away from oil over time."    Listen to our interview from the S&P Global Sustainable1 Summit with International Sustainability Standards Board Vice Chair Sue Lloyd: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/issb-vice-chair-sue-lloyd-talks-aligning-sustainability-standards-across-jurisdictions      Less than half of the leading listed companies in the US have a net-zero target, according to the S&P Global Sustainable1 Net-Zero Commitments Tracker dataset.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Steve Abel, Partner at Oliver Wyman. In this episode, they dive into the insurtech world & determine how to reinvent the InsurTech space by Leveraging Commoditized Tech for a Competitive Edge. On this episode they discuss: The common mistakes InsurTech startups make when investing in technology components with not well-thought-out architectures. How InsurTech startups can leverage commoditized technology to focus on building unique value propositions. The strategies for effectively orchestrating & assembling tech components into a symbiotic whole for faster go-to-market. How InsurTech startups can focus on monetizing their algorithms rather than building the full tech stack. The changing concept of differentiation in the InsurTech sector & how startups can leverage this to their advantage. Useful links:Cyber security and Captive InsuranceSelf-insured actuarial servicesCapital modelling KEY TAKEAWAYS There are a couple of errors that founders make. The first is that you need to hire technologists to build everything for you in an undifferentiated way. Most of what you're bringing to the market is not the proprietary or unique.  It's a drag on money, speed & you may lose focus on what's important to your business model. You don't need to hire them; with the pace of change of tech, a year from now you'll need different talent because the tech will be different, Rent tech talent at the beginning. Most innovation that occurring in the InsurTech space is from founders & companies that you may be innovating or own, you're toe force of innovation in this sector. That's important for your investors because they want a return on their investment. It's important for the sector because the huge advancements in the distribution & carrier space, to your customers are because of you. Critically assess what technical talent is absolutely necessary to be core to your vision, it's as important as thinking about your architecture & tooling in terms of what is generically available & what's going to be part of your secret sauce. InsurTech's burn through time & capital fast, how can you assemble your solution in a way that you can test a market as quickly as feasibly possible? A lot of founders lose time tripping up over boring, platform tech. BEST MOMENTS ‘Modern tooling, especially cloud-based, already scales. The idea you need to buy a specialised infrastructure or server is no longer important as it once was.' ‘Getting something in you customer's hands as fast as possible to find out what they're going to find valuable & pay for.' ‘If you're a founder with a great idea, everything that's core to that great idea you need to own.' ‘In order to make money it's important to understand how your product is going to be used & sold. These are not the same thing & that can be a very costly mistake.'   ABOUT THE GUEST As a partner at Oliver Wyman, Steven helps clients solve complex problems & lead teams to deliver insights that you can trust.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Steve Abel, Partner at Oliver Wyman. In this episode, they dive into the challenges & solutions related to legacy debt & system modernization for incumbent insurers. KEY TAKEAWAYS A few decades ago there weren't the number or complexities of systems in the insurance landscape. Generally, there was 1 or several admin systems which did everything. The cost & complexity of IT was relatively low compared to now. The proliferation of systems that solve business problems, the complexity of those systems has increased exponentially in part because of the sheer number of systems but also because the landscape has evolved to accept that implementing a claims/administration/finance system should take years or months. A lot of carriers have made successful bets in the past; they've bought a system, customised it & to a large extent, historically, they have fulfilled their promise to the business. Perhaps they were a little expensive or hard to implement, but at the end of the day the stakeholders got what they wanted.  Take a hard look at your technology. A lot of these programme fail – between 30-60% depending on who you ask. Ask yourself: Is it worth the investment for my business? If you have a generic business maybe the cost of customisation is very low, but if your business customises a lot & when you're done you have a lot of spreadsheets, maybe that's not a great idea. BEST MOMENTS ‘There's an emerging opportunity for insurance carriers to leverage a new ecosystem of tooling & providers that isn't as monolithic & doesn't require so many months & so much costs to implement.' ‘In modern (mostly) cloud-based technology, it's possible to think of data as an enterprise/ecosystem asset, so you can keep that data in a structure that works for multiple business processes/calculations.' ‘Speed is now more important than ever in thinking about technology in an ecosyetem. It used to be that you could pace your development choices in years, now technology is moving so much faster – years and months instead of decades.'   ABOUT THE GUEST As a partner at Oliver Wyman, Steven helps clients solve complex problems & lead teams to deliver insights that you can trust.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL introduces the a series of podcasts featuring Steve Abel, Partner at Oliver Wyman, Brian McDermott, Chief Technology Officer at Victor Insurance and Esther Becker, Partner and Captive Actuarial Leader at Oliver Wyman. The objectives of the following four episodes are to: create an all rounded viewpoint of what is happening in insurance  demonstrate how an insurance managing general agent has grown its business to over 3 billion dollars in Direct Written Premiums (DWP) and how the world of captive insurance is evolving when emerging risks are so present in our day to day lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Legacy system optimization is crucial for insurance companies to not only reduce costs but also to enhance the value of existing investments. By addressing the historical oversights and implementing effective strategies, insurance companies and carriers around the globe can extract comprehensive value from your legacy systems. Insurers out there… You've made substantial investments in your core systems, but it's possible that some decisions that we made were not aligned with the best long-term outcomes of your business or enterprise. Revisit past decisions critically to assess whether they still serve your company's current and future needs. Look for signs as to whether you've been locked into proprietary solutions which may hinder adaptability or interoperability long term. I have talked about those with many insurers and this is certainly an area of concern today. Implement APIs that allow more flexible interaction with your core systems and introduce modular upgrades that can provide new capabilities without a complete system overhaul. These targeted improvements can significantly increase value and extend the lifespan of your core systems, helping you stay competitive in a rapidly evolving insurance market. Finally, I wanted to dive into the world of captives and self-insurance programs offer a strategic approach to managing emergent non-insurable risks. A captive's ability to navigate complex technological challenges and optimize technology choices is crucial in reinforcing the relevance and efficiency of the captive's operations. BEST MOMENTS ‘To unlock the value from your core systems, adopt a three-pronged approach: Simplify. Innovate. Collaborate.' ‘When you invest in technology startups, scaleup and growth ventures… recognizing the common missteps is going to be essential to avoid them.' ‘In leveraging commoditized technology, your goal should be to build more relevant applications. Utilizing established technologies allows you to focus on innovation without reinventing the wheel.' ‘By proactively shaping your approach to these areas of advancement, you're preparing to meet the demands of 2030 and propel the insurance and insurtech sectors forward.'   ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Alex Shevelenko, the CEO and Co-Founder of Relayto, brings to the table a compelling narrative of how transforming mundane PDFs and presentations into interactive web experiences is not just an upgrade but a necessity. Today we will weave through Alex's entrepreneurial voyage, his insights on leadership, the genesis and trajectory of Relayto, and a gaze into the future of digital content experiences. Alex's perspectives to our dialogue will bring both foresight and actionable intelligence on harnessing interactive content management platforms like Relayto. We unmask the potential of interactive AI-led content management platforms in reshaping enterprise communication and how leaders can leverage this technology to foster better engagement within a world of digitalization. KEY TAKEAWAYS At my first job, an internship at Microsoft Office in 1997, I discovered the pdf was taking over PowerPoint and Word as the main medium which the customer wanted.  The medium we're advocating is a consumer-centric medium. They start with the end-recipient in mind and, in the process to make that process a vision we tend to use AI and no-code software. The more valuable the idea for progression, the worse it's communicated. The more trivial ideas have a ton of click-bait-y ads that try to get you to buy stuff that you don't need and solve problems you don't really have. BEST MOMENTS ‘Entrepreneurship tends to call on you.' ‘Fundamentally it's about the consumer of your content… what do they want to do? Increasingly they want a conversation rather than be pummelled with information, they want to be engaged and make the interaction their own.' ‘It's a privilege and a joy to work on something you really believe in.' ABOUT THE GUESTAlex Shevelenko is the CEO and Co-Founder of Relayto, a document experience platform that turns conventional PDFs and presentations into interactive web experiences. With over 20 years of experience in the technology industry, Alex has worn many hats across global organizations like Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP SuccessFactors, and Oliver Wyman consulting. His career reflects his passion for innovation and his innate ability to lead and inspire teams. Alex holds an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business and a BA from the University of Pennsylvania. He has also completed executive education at Harvard Business School. As a serial entrepreneur, Alex founded the management consulting firm Glocal Partners, where he advised international companies on growth strategies and innovation.  This experience laid the foundation for his current venture, Relayto. Since co-founding Relayto in 2017, Alex has rapidly grown the company. Relayto has raised $500K in funding to date and hit $1.6M in revenue in 2022. Under Alex's leadership, Relayto transforms how enterprises communicate and engage with digital documents.  When he's not building Relayto, Alex is an avid reader and movie buff. He also loves to travel the world, having been to over 29 countries across 6 continents. Alex brings a unique blend of leadership, innovation, and global perspective.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/shevelenko/  https://relayto.com/  ABOUT THE HOSTSabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur.
