New needs for radical innovations in insurance solutions
Customer Expectation
Widespread adoption of new consumer technologies has created new needs for and
expectations of insurance solution and interactive channels.
Pace of Innovation
With the demands of the shared economy, usage-based models, internet-of-things (IoT),
autonomous cars, and wearables, therein lies possibilities of radical innovations and new
business models.
Startup Emergence
With easy access to open source frameworks, scaled cloud computing and development
on-demand, technology barriers to entry have been lowered – which new players are
able to take advantage of.
23. Customers now expect personalized
insurance solutions. One size simply does
not fit all anymore.
Usage-based models are partially
addressing these expectations, but the
sharing economy is also challenging
existing, more traditional insurance
products.
New players are also able to work from a
clean slate and leverage on a variety of
available resources to fill market gaps.
Overview Companies
MetroMile - Entered a partnership
with Uber that allows them to switch
from personal to Uber Insurance.
USAA - Invested $24m in Automatic
Labs, a telematic platform with a full
suite of integrated apps (including
wearables)
Sureify - Developed a platform that
allows insurers to underwrite life
insurance based on lifestyle data
inputs.
Key Opportunities #1
1. Changing Needs
23
24. 2. Augment existing capabilities
The insurance industry historically has
included intermediaries, service
providers and reinsurers.
In most cases, the carrier has led the
business relationship because of its retail
market position and scale.
However, companies increasingly are
peers. Accordingly, joint ventures and
partnerships are a good way to augment
existing capabilities and establish
symbiotic relationships.
Overview Companies
BIMA Mobile – Partnered with mobile
telecom companies to provide life
insurance solutions to uninsured
segments in less developed
countries.
AXA – Acquired an 8% stake in Africa
Internet Group for €75million,
opening new opportunities for the
company in unpenetrated markets.
Flock – Offers free HR and benefits
solutions to fellow B2C market
entrants.
Key Opportunities #2
24
25. 3. Leverage data analytics to generate risk insights
Established insurers traditionally have
had the advantage over prospective
newcomers of being able to leverage
many years of detailed risk data.
However, data – and new types of it –
now can be captured in real-time and is
available from external sources.
As a result, there are new market
entrants who have the ability to
generate meaningful risk insights in very
specific areas.
Overview Companies
Mnubo - Provide analytics that
generate insights from sensor-
based data and additional external
data sources like telematics and
real-time weather observation.
American Family - investing in
drone technology in order to
facilitate real-time data collection
and explore new approaches to
access and capture risk data.
Key Opportunities #3
25
26. 4. Use new approaches to underwrite risk and predict losses
Protection-based models are shifting
to more sophisticated preventive
models that facilitate loss mitigation
in all insurance segments.
More deterministic models like the ones
that now exist for crop insurance, are
starting to emerge and new entrants are
offering both risk prevention (not just
loss protection) and a more service-
oriented delivery model. For example:
Overview Companies
Discovery - managing genetic
risks in advance can benefit both
the end-consumer and the
insurer with the aim of avoiding
long-term health problems and
associated expenses.
Nauto - Offers visual context and
telematics with actionable
information about driving
behavior, including distracted
driving. Aims to help insurers
design new pricing strategies and
pinpoint areas of premiumthat
they otherwise may not notice.

27. 5. Enable businesses with sophisticated operational capabilities
Effective core systems enable insurers
to operate at a large scale. Because of
cost, establishing these systems has
traditionally been a barrier to market
entry.
However, access to cloud-based core
solutions has facilitated scalability and
flexibility. Developments like this,
combined with new developments like
robotics and automation, have provided
new market entrants compelling market
differentiators.
Overview Companies
OutsideIQ - Offers artificial
intelligence solutions via an as-a-
service underwriting and claims
workbench that uses big data to
address complex risk-based
problems.
Tyche - Offers a solution that
uses analytics to help clients
estimate the value of legal
claims. In addition, automating
claims can improve efficiency
and also effectively assess
losses.

The insurance industry historically has included intermediaries, service providers and reinsurers.

P4 Medicine (Predictive Preventive, Personalized and Participatory) offers insurers better insights that they can applyto life and disability underwriting. Lumiata is offering the potential for better predictive health capabilities, while Neurosky is developing next generation wearable sensors that can detect ECGs, stress levels, and even brain waves.
Facilitating this real-time data collection are drone startups, including Airphrame and Airware. Drones provide the ability to analyze risk with embedded sensors and image analytics. They also can operate in remote areas where it has traditionally been difficult for humans to tread, thereby saving time and increasing efficiency. In fact, American Family’s venture capitalarm is investing in drone technologyin order to explore new approaches to access and capture risk data.
Protection-based models are shiftingto more sophisticated preventivemodels that facilitate loss mitigationin all insurance segments. Sensors and related data analytics can identify unsafe driving, industrial equipment failure, impending health problems, and more. More deterministic models like the ones that now exist for crop insurance, are starting to emerge and new entrants are offering both risk prevention (not just loss protection) and a more service-oriented delivery model. For example:
