When it comes to major events that impact people, economies and environments, insurance is firmly on the frontline. In the last few years, the industry — traditionally slow to modernise — has been reinventing strategies and working models to meet the demands of the changing global landscape, from the pandemic to economic and political instability. Acceleration of digital transformation has become a priority because it directly impacts current strategic imperatives — customer focus, operational simplification, financial sustainability and innovation.
