Opportunities Hiding in Plain Sight — Business Innovation and its Impact on P&C Insurance

Session Abstract:

IoT sensor technology is fundamentally changing business. Digital companies deliver customized, personal customer experiences; manufacturers predict when their equipment will fail; cars drive themselves; satellites detect tiny physical changes from 800 miles above the earth. This session reviews the significant technological advances that move businesses from a reactive to a proactive business model. It also explores the impacts of such a change on the insurance industry. The key takeaways are to:
• provide current examples of how sensors are changing business
• detail current insurance programs that use sensor data
• identify opportunity areas for insurers
