Innovation is normalizing in business models and being woven into business strategies and plans, and insurers are figuring out how to create a culture of innovation. Many now realize that innovation is not only a market differentiator and competitive advantage, but also a mandatory requirement for the future.
SMA’s new research report, Innovation is Mandatory: SMA Annual Innovation in Insurance Report, covers the current state of innovation in insurance, including the drivers of innovation, who is leading innovation initiatives, where insurers are starting, and what the biggest challenges are. The report includes insights on how innovation has evolved, based on SMA’s research and work with insurers over the past 10 years. The report is based on a survey of P&C and L&A insurance executives in North America.
Figure 1 provides a view of what is triggering innovation in insurance.
