Join insurers, on Wednesday 27th of November, at the UK launch of our report which takes the pulse of ideas and innovation across major global insurance markets.
INSURANCE IDEA PULSE 2020 – AN INNOVATION PORTFOLIO PLANNING TOOL FOR GLOBAL INSURERS
Two things matter in insurance innovation: 1) what you do, and 2) how you do it. As experts in insurance innovation, we get asked by global insurers to advise on both points.
This report looks at over 500 recent innovations from 250 major players in the global insurance sector, with emphasis on risk and protection, and helps answer the first question: what should you be doing?
We put it together to help insurers pick the right ideas to explore, help them find where their gaps are, and find out who’s innovating where.
The report not only presents a new taxonomy for planning insurance innovation, but also sets out the 10 Big Ideas that carriers are innovating at the moment, and the under-explored insurance opportunities that need more oxygen.
What’s inside:
- The 10 Big Ideas in the market today
- The Ten Types of Insurance Innovation
- The 29 opportunities that are being left on the table
- Self-assessment tools for innovation portfolio planning
This event is *free*, tickets not required.
Arrival from 6:15pm for a 6:30pm start.
Location: Uncommon, 1 Long Lane, London, SE1 4PG

This unique 4-part workshop series is designed for insurance innovators and teaches a series of ideas and techniques that we use in our 123 Framework™.
The series is free of charge but is by application only. We encourage participants to sign up to all four parts.
Part 1: ‘Ideation’
The Ninety Ideation & Evaluation phase starts by identifying the key problem statements, crystallizing them, and focusing on the ones to solve. We then introduce formal ideation techniques, crowd-sourced ideation campaigns if appropriate, and idea evaluation techniques such as false door / dry testing. The aim is to generate stretching ideas, check them quickly for product-market fit, and feed the best ones into our Stage 1 MVP.
We will be exploring:
- Ideation techniques which help insurers accelerate fresh product ideas into the market: what are them, when to use them, and how they work?
- How to take customers problems to find new solutions which deliver value to the business? We’ll revisit the problem-solution-value format.
- Best practices for your ideation session
- What’s next? Methods to prioritise and test your idea.
Modules available on different dates:
- Part 2: ‘How to test your insurance idea in 1 day’ (March 2020)
- Part 3: ‘How to build an MVP of your insurance product in 2 weeks’ (May 2020)
- Part 4: ‘How to pilot your insurance product idea in 3 months’ (July 2020)
This event is exclusive for professionals in insurance companies and by invitation.

Part 3: ‘How to build an MVP of your insurance idea in 2 weeks’
The Ninety 2-week Design Sprint brings a new insurance idea to life and determines whether it should be piloted.

We will be exploring:
– How to build a testable prototype.
– Techniques to obtain customer/user input through iterative, tested design.

Part 4: ‘How to pilot your insurance idea in 3 months’
The Ninety 3-month Pilot Build phase prepares the new insurance idea to be launched as a transactional pilot to a closed group of customers/users, thereby testing the case for scaling. We run a ~3-month Scrum Agile process, building transactional capability on insurtech platforms, or on other technology that can support further scaling. The pilot prep is done closely with pilot customers, who are often involved in the transactional pilot period itself.
We will be exploring:
– The necessary transaction pilot technology and operations.
– How to measure the daily learnings from customers/users and apply them in new tests.
– Managing fortnightly releases of new features.
– What’s next? From transactional pilot to market scale.

The topics are complex and detailed, but to take new ideas to market at scale, we believe that insurance innovators need to embrace these types of discipline. Come with your brain switched on!
The workshop is free of charge but is by application only.
Key questions that we will address:
- How do we safely, intelligently but boldly, allocate limited resources to uncertain innovation attempts?
- What are the right transition criteria that need to be met before new funding is allocated to an innovative initiative or start-up?
- What are the hard financial and resourcing amounts that are appropriate to each stage of the innovation or start-up journey?
You will learn a practical approach to funding innovation in a corporate environment, using leading metrics to know that you are going to have future success in your program.
This debate is curated at the workshop, using Ninety’s insurance-specialist innovation techniques to explore this discipline.
Topics available on different dates:
- Scaling beyond the pilot: building a new test, learn & scale model for change
