AI-Powered Insurance Transformation: Boosting Efficiency, Accuracy and Client Satisfaction

📈 So many Metrics, So little Time. Smash through the Barrier!
Get the Deck and The CX Measurement system that works Immediately. 👍

AI and generative AI (gen AI) are transforming many industries, including Insurance.

In a 2024 an article by McKinsey identified four AI trends :

a. Rapid adoption – 65% of respondents to the survey say they are using gen AI.

b. Business benefits – revenue growth and cost reductions

c. AI Global adoption – now at 72% of survey respondents

d. Investment and Value – two-thirds of respondents anticipate increased AI investment over the next two years

These trends compel insurance companies to review their phygital strategies (combining the best of the physical with digital customer experiences).

Insurers have always dealt with huge amounts of information, and this continues to increase under the burden of changes to data protection laws, new regulations and a more diverse set of customer needs.

Many have sought to automate this inbound and outbound activity, and now, with the arrival of Gen AI, progressive insurers are adopting proactive strategies to grow revenues, reduce costs, and significantly enhance the customer experience.

The role of gen AI in enhancing the customer experience is significant, as it improves operational effectiveness (Triple Crown Plus). The delivery of this triple crown plus benefit is now the hallmark of leading insurers.

Let’s review how gen AI is transforming the sector:

🎯 1. Optimising the Underwriting Experience:

Achieving top-notch underwriting is essential for gauging the risks tied to new proposals. It’s a balancing act for underwriters to ensure precision, uphold quality, and handle a substantial number of applications. Using AI can revolutionise this experience by scrutinising proposals through the lens of historical patterns, past decisions, and established underwriting protocols. Risk factors can be identified with AI, especially concerning payment reliability, geographical risk factors, customer longevity, exposure to particular hazards, vehicular telematics, and the likelihood of ‘acts of God’ events.

Embracing AI-driven platforms to streamline the underwriting process enables professionals to outsort high-risk proposals and personalise quotations. Integrating business rules engines can significantly boost the frequency of straight-through processing for straightforward cases and intelligently route complex scenarios to specialised underwriting teams, considering their skill set and current capacity.

🛄 2. Refining Claims Processing Precision:

For insurers, the claims experience presents a critical “moment of truth” for its customers and partners. Streamlined and accurate claims handling is essential to reduce losses and complete settlements quickly. Gen AI can markedly enhance the entire claims experience and processes with these key deliverables:

• Claims Triage: Incoming claims can overwhelm Claims units, especially those with technologies designed before the ‘high expectation promiscuous’ clients. AI systems can optimise the experience and processes by leveraging past data and predefined criteria to sort claims by their gravity, enabling straightforward, low-severity claims to bypass manual checks. This improves both efficiency and turnaround times.

• Automated Reserve Allocation: Accurate reserves must be established early in the claims process to uphold accurate financial indicators. AI can determine more accurate reserves at the claim’s inception, factoring in variables like the line of business, policy specifics, and loss causation, thereby reducing errors.

🔎 3. Fraud Identification:

Detecting fraud can be a huge, expensive, labour-intensive task that slows claims processing. AI’s pattern-matching capabilities significantly improve throughput and accuracy and mitigate the risk of potential legal disputes. Reducing the load from manual checking (and freeing up scarce resources) also reduces costs, improves turnaround times, and enhances the overall customer and employee experience.

🧭 4. Fraud Detection:

Fraud detection is critical for safeguarding against financial losses due to deceptive claims. AI enhances Predictive Analytics when looking for patterns that can indicate fraudulent activity. Claims fraud detection approaches can be intensive and expensive, coupled with suboptimal experiences for clients and partners. Enhancing the data analytics approaches with Gen AI produces faster results at a lower cost than traditional approaches

🤗 5. Delivering Exceptional Customer Experience:

Insurance companies often struggle to extract value from their data despite being data-intensive. AI and machine learning (ML) models can categorise customers into ‘needs’ groups, enabling targeted campaigns and personalised benefit coverages. Predictive models can forecast customer lifetime value, allowing insurers to focus on high-value customer categories with minimal effort.

To excel in the phygital age, insurance companies must embrace the latest technologies and developments in AI, gen AI and Machine Learning.

Hyper personalisation is now the future of insurance, just as it has become in other industries with companies like Adidas, Amazon and Spotify. Gen AI helps companies make a quantum leap with customised communication and coverage while supporting risk assessment, claims processing, and digital and physical customer and employee experiences. Ultimately, it is about winning the ‘Triple Crown plus’ to drive overall success and competitiveness.

Combatting Bank Fraud using the CEMMethod®

📈 So many Metrics, So little Time. Smash through the Barrier!
Get the Deck and The CX Measurement system that works Immediately. 👍

Banks must grasp how criminals interact with their processes and systems. This allows upgraded security to defend customers.

Here’s how using the CEMMethod® to help

User Research and Real Events.

  • Study actual fraud cases.
  • See how criminals use bank offerings.
  • Document fraudste­r actions, steps taken, what they e­ngaged with, and victim emotions.
  • Consider both faile­d and successful crimes for a complete­ view.

Chart Fraudster Customer Journe­ys.

  • Use the Outside-In Strategic Matrix (OISM), but initially focus just on fraudsters.
  • Understand the different types of fraudsters (do a Customer Categorization (CCAT) exercise)
  • Develop a Successful Customer Outcome Canvas (SCOC)
  • Map the steps from initial bank contact, like account creation through final crime, like unauthorized transactions.
  • Calculate the Disruption Factor (DF)
  • Use the Innovation approach to identify Moments of Truth (MOTs), weak points, and are­as for improvement within this path.
  • Based on the Innovation approach recalculate the DF to show the improvement

Note Every Interaction and Channel.

  • Account for all criminal bank MOTs/touchpoints, including:
    • Account creationLogin/authentication
    • Transaction history
    • Phone, email, and chat communications
    • Customer support exchange­s

See how criminals exploit we­aknesses at each ste­p.

  • Complete a Risk-Impact matrix (RIM)

Data is Key Ove­r Visuals.

  • Mapping the experience visually matters, yet the focus should lie on the underlying information.
  • Comprehend patterns, trigge­rs, and behavioural signals.
  • Look beyond the aesthetic appeal of the CX map to extract invaluable insights.

Customer Vie­wpoint and Emotions.

  • Step into a fraudster’s shoes. Use the ‘empty chair approach’.
  • What drive­s them? What emotions arise?
  • Also, e­mpathize with legitimate custome­rs who fall prey to fraud.
  • Understand their feelings of anxiety, frustration, and vulnerability.

Cross-Te­am Collaboration.

  • Involve teams spanning fraud preve­ntion, UX design, security expe­rts, and customer support.
  • Share insights, collaborating to address vulne­rabilities identified in the­ fraudster’s journey.

Prioritizing Account Takeover (ATO).

  • Recognize fraudsters directly target user accounts.
  • Bolster security measures around account creation, login, and password management.
  • Educate users on se­cure practices to preve­nt ATO.

Adapting to Evolving Trends.

  • Stay informed about shifting fraud tactics.
  • As fraudsters adapt, so must your defences.
  • Monitor phishing, social engine­ering, and other fraudster me­thods.

Balancing Security and User Experience.

  • You should enhance­ security without hindering genuine­ users.
  • Make sure the­ security upgrades don’t negative­ly affect user expe­rience.
  • Put security measures smoothly, no hassle for real customers.

Keep Improving.

  • Revie­w the fraudster’s plan often, update­ CX map regularly.
  • Revisit the OISM and CCAT and update them on a regular basis
  • Try new che­cks, and analyze if they work well against thre­ats.
  • Learn from actual incidents and modify practices accordingly.

Jargon Monoxide: Clear the Air in Your Workplace!

📈 So many Metrics, So little Time. Smash through the Barrier!
Get the Deck and The CX Measurement system that works Immediately. 👍

In the corporate world, a silent and insidious problem exists – jargon. ☠️
It’s a language filled with fancy words and complex phrases that confuse and disengage people during meetings.


Some common symptoms of “jargon monoxide” exposure include:-

🙄 Eyes glazing over during presentations

😵‍💫 Sudden confusion about the meaning of words being used

😵 An irresistible urge to play “buzzword bingo”

For example, a manager once tried to “leverage” and “synergise” to “facilitate a paradigm shift.” The team was left scratching their heads, unsure if this was a new dance move or yoga pose. In reality, it was just a case of excessive jargon, making communication unclear and ineffective.

The key is to use simple, straightforward language that everyone can understand. Avoid complex terminology and aim for a conversational tone. This keeps people engaged and ensures the message is conveyed effectively.

Let’s review a couple of examples and possible cures.

🌩️ The Outbreak of Disruptive Innovation ⚡

Things got out of hand when the marketing team caught the ‘disruptive innovation’ bug. Every idea was ‘disruptive,’ and every plan was ‘innovative.’ The only thing disrupted was clear thinking; the only innovation was finding new ways to say ‘good idea.’

🍎 The Epidemic of Low-Hanging Fruit 🍏

The sales team was next, seemingly obsessed with ‘low-hanging fruit.’ Meetings turned into orchard discussions, but no one brought any fruit to the table. The only thing low-hanging was the team’s patience.

Treatment and Prevention:

  • 👉 Open a window. Fresh air helps.
  • 🫙 Introduce a ‘jargon jar.’ Offenders contribute to the coffee fund.
  • 🗣️ Use plain language. It’s refreshing and, surprisingly, more efficient.
  • 📨 Communicate plainly and clearly. Straightforward speech is surprisingly refreshing and efficient.

Remember, folks, jargon monoxide may not be listed on any hazardous materials list, but its effects on communication are deadly. Keep it simple and clear, and save the jargon for Scrabble night. 🔡

Unlock the Real Power of Collaboration and Creativity in CX Workshops

Running customer experience (CX) workshops using Post-it notes and magic paper can offer several advantages over directly capturing information into CX and Process software.

Engagement and Collaboration:

a. Post-it notes and wall displays encourage active participation. Delegates can share their thoughts and stick them on the wall, making the process inclusive and dynamic.

b. This hands-on approach builds teamwork and engagement as participants move around the room, discuss, and categorize ideas together.

Visualization and structure:

CEMMethod Team Visualization

a. Ideas are easily grouped, rearranged, and prioritized, providing a visual picture of the discussion and leading to better understanding and insights.

b. Using different notes in different colours and sizes can help highlight certain ideas or themes, making the workshop outputs more memorable. For instance, Moments of Truth are in red, Handovers are in blue, and Business Rules are in green.

Summary

This isn’t one size fits all. Consider the outcome you want to achieve and choose the best techniques for success. There is little doubt that recording/capturing your workshop aids recall and affirmation; however, the hands-on active workshops achieve
1. Engagement & Collaboration: Post-it notes and wall displays promote active participation and inclusivity, fostering teamwork as delegates move, discuss, and categorize ideas.
2. Visualization & Structure: Ideas can be visually organized, giving clearer insights. Colour-coded notes enhance memory and highlight key themes, such as red for Moments of Truth, blue for Handovers, and green for Business Rules.

The CEMMethod® is the Swiss army knife of customer experience excellence

The CEMMethod®, pioneered by the BP Group and Steve Towers, represents a groundbreaking approach to Customer Experience Management (CEM). This innovative method is not just a set of tools; it’s a mindset shift, a comprehensive strategy transforming how organizations interact with their customers.

At the heart of the CEMMethod® is the belief that a deep understanding of the customer journey is crucial for business success. The method encourages businesses to look at their processes from the outside in, starting with the customer experience and working backwards to align internal processes with customer needs.

It integrates advanced techniques like process alignment, customer journey mapping, and moment of truth analysis, ensuring that every aspect of the customer experience is carefully considered and optimized. The ultimate goal is to create satisfied customers and true advocates for the brand.

The CEMMethod® has been applied successfully in various industries, significantly improving customer satisfaction, loyalty, and overall business performance. It’s a testament to the power of putting the customer first, and under the guidance of thought leaders like the BP Group, it continues to evolve and set new standards in customer experience excellence.

This method isn’t just about improving metrics; it’s about creating lasting, meaningful customer relationships. It’s an inspiring journey towards a future where businesses thrive by genuinely understanding and valuing their customers.
