This SMA research report reveals insurers’ plans regarding thirteen strategic initiatives, including four foundational initiatives like expanding distribution channels and modernizing core systems, and nine transformational initiatives, including InsurTech and new business models. The report is based on a survey of commercial lines executives and SMA analysts’ observations and insights.
