Unstructured data - is this a challenge that will ever go away? Or can it be a challenge which insurers adapt to work in their favor… At our last New York event in March, InsTech gathered three leading industry experts to candidly discuss what change in the industry looks like to them, specifically in the way unstructured data is handled and managed.  We all know streamlining underwriting processes and optimizing data intake & routing will aid with precise risk pricing, but how are the US’s biggest carriers approaching the problem? Hear from Patrick Gallic at Tokio Marine HCC, Georgeanna Munger at Allianz Commercial, and Brad Craner at Zurich North America about pocketed digitisation, implementing best practices, moving blame away from the brokers and how generative AI can serve to repurpose the underwriter’s time for the better. Key talking points include: What are the current challenges underwriters are facing  How is technology addressing these issues The dichotomy between late-career and early-career underwriters - what can be learnt from this Technology adoption is an evolution Is too much data the problem?  The ‘art v science’ of underwriting  If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.
