"Insurance CEOs are taking disruption head on by embracing new technologies and adopting new business and operational models," said
Scaling Up Business Operations and Driving Transformation
The majority of insurance CEOs, 83 percent, believe that there is a great need to scale up business operations and processes to drive growth. However, 59 percent are concerned that their companies do not have the sensory capabilities to innovate processes to respond to rapid disruption.
"The insurance industry is at a critical tipping point, and an enterprise-wide evolution is necessary to effectively compete in the digital age," said
Implementing New Technologies and Investment in Cybersecurity
In this year's study, insurance CEOs said the top technology-related challenges insurance companies will face in the next 3 years include optimizing the use of data analytics and predictive technologies, coupled with building data collection capabilities and reskilling the current workforce. The complexity of implementation is singled out as the top barrier in applying new technologies, while implementing disruptive technologies is a top strategic priority.
On cybersecurity, 69 percent of the CEOs believe that their companies are somewhat prepared for a cyber event, while the majority, 87 percent, see the investment in cybersecurity as an opportunity to find new revenue streams and innovate, rather than an overhead cost.
"As insurers embark on a digital journey, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly more important to secure ongoing operations," added McCorry. "Implementing disruptive technologies to minimize cybersecurity risk and foster innovation should be a top priority."
