This is the fifth annual report on innovation from SMA, and is based on a survey of insurers and observations regarding market activities. The report looks at the pace of adoption, what is triggering innovation, which business areas are affected the most, and how insurers are responding to the challenges.    

The report also addresses innovation practices, leadership, and culture, and considers the continued and growing impact of emerging technologies and how insurers are starting their quests to build more innovative companies.
