Innovation, to be effective, has to combine creativity with discipline. These workshops are for the hardcore innovators. 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
• Incentivizing innovation: structuring incentives, objectives & KPIs to support innovation and fail-fast methodologies

This event is exclusive for professionals in insurance companies and by invitation.

To apply for a ticket, please contact ninetymarketing@ninety.com.

Arrival from 9 am for a 9:15 am start.

Location: City of London, to be announced to confirmed participants.

What to expect:

We’re hearing a lot about AI, but what about the critical building blocks, the algorithms, that insurers are starting to rely on to make decisions in underwriting and claims assessment without human intervention? Is the industry ready to delegate underwriting to machines? At our next event on 3rd June back at The Steelyard we are bringing together a selection of companies that are already successfully using algorithms to support risk definition, underwriting selection, claims and even the insurance of using algorithms themselves.

If you are keen to get a preview to the event, listen to Matthew Grant and Robin Merttens chatting about the issues facing insurers and the companies that build the algorithms for them. Robin reveals what he has learnt about psychographics and Matthew asks for some ideas for speakers for a refreshingly different future innovation event.

Seats sell out quickly.

Part 4: ‘How to pilot your insurance product 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.
