A candid look in the mirror.

You can't set a direction for innovation until you know, honestly, where you're standing.

SCOR's Global Life division had done the hard early work of embedding innovation. But progress is difficult to steer when you can't measure it — and leadership wanted a clear, candid view of how to take the next step.

Self-assessment tends to flatter. To reshape strategy with confidence, SCOR needed an outside, evidence-based benchmark: how mature were they really, in which areas, and against whom?

Good intentions aren't a baseline. Evidence is.

Ninety ran a 10-week Innovation Healthcheck — a candid, data-grounded assessment of SCOR's capabilities.

• 01Gathered the evidence. Interviews with 20+ business leaders and surveys of 500+ employees, capturing the real state of innovation across the division.
• 02Benchmarked the maturity. We analysed over 4,000 data points to measure SCOR's innovation maturity in key areas against other global insurers.
• 03Pinpointed the opportunities. The Healthcheck surfaced genuine strengths and clear areas for growth — not a grade, but a map.

The Healthcheck findings became a catalyst for change.

They guided SCOR's leadership in reshaping innovation strategy and structure — turning candid benchmarks into a confident direction, with a clear path toward sustained growth.
