Are Insurance Innovation Programs in Good Shape? How Do They Know? New Assessment Gives Insurers a ‘Wellness’ Check of Innovation Efforts

LAKE FOREST, Calif., March 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ITL Advisory, the strategic consulting arm of Insurance Thought Leadership Inc., is offering insurance companies a new innovation assessment service, designed to evaluate whether their programs have critical elements for success—especially considering A.M. Best's plan to begin evaluating insurance company innovation efforts.

Insurance rating agency A.M. Best on March 14 released a draft of its proposed insurance innovation assessment process, kicking off a comment period before it formalizes the criteria and procedures that will form the basis for reviewing how comprehensive and effective an insurance company's innovation efforts are. http://www.ambest.com/ratings/methodology.asp

"The Best proposal is significant and underscores the importance of innovation to the future financial strength and sustainable growth of an insurer. The release of its draft criteria and procedures will create some urgency among insurers to understand the innovation process, and start or accelerate efforts to implement innovation programs," says Wayne Allen, CEO of Insurance Thought Leadership.

ITL Advisory's new assessment service is designed to provide insurance organizations with a quick, independent and confidential assessment of whether their innovation programs are on the right track and aligned with best practices, and that they contain essential elements to deliver an ROI on innovation. The assessment will help companies to anticipate whether they are prepared for the A.M. Best review, or serve as a standalone check on their program elements.
