SMA has released a new report on the 2019 SMA Summit: Transformation in Action which was held in New York City on December 4, 2019. For eight straight years, the SMA Summit has been the only insurance conference focused on sharing and showcasing insurer success stories, lessons learned, and insurer use cases that reflect their transformation in action.
The themes for this year’s event were Adopt, Actualize, and Accelerate. There were 18 sessions and many speakers. And throughout an action-packed day, the speakers related many examples of insurers and tech companies putting transformation into action and accelerating their journeys. This follow-up report presents the transformation success stories and use cases shared by all of the day’s speakers.
In the report, the sessions are organized into six categories: 1) 25 Years Out, 2) Innovation, 3) Customer and Digital, 4) Claims, 5) Underwriting, and 6) Transformational Tech, along with the opening and closing sessions. All of the SMA Transformation in Action Award winners also shared their success stories. The report makes a strong case for real transformation in the insurance industry.
