Claim / Product Summit:
Unlocking the Power of Your Claims Data
Tuesday March 11 & Wednesday March 12
The next breakthrough idea is hiding in your data.
The industry is looking for the next breakthrough to revolutionize prediction and generate a huge competitive advantage for the early movers.
Whatever it is, the "next big thing" is probably hiding in your claims data. Whether you are in Claims and want to mine your data for improvements in first notice of loss, triage, and fraud detection, or you are in Product Development, Pricing, or Risk Management and want to tap into claims data for predictive modeling and coverage opportunities, you will not want to miss this event.

Pre-Conference Seminars:
Monday March 10
Insurance Fundamentals OR Product Development
Insurance Fundamentals
Seminar Chair: Howard Goldstein (The Glen Ellyn Consulting Group) | (630) 790-4304
Whether they work at a carrier and need to sell their ideas to leaders of other departments, or they work for a supplier selling data or services to insurers, many people in the industry would benefit from a broader perspective and a better working knowledge of the diverse market segments, roles, operational models, and jargon of this unique business.
The Society of Insurance Research, in conjunction with the Glen Ellyn Consulting Group, has introduced a one-day course to address this need. This program is not intended to replace extended courses of study such as CPCU, CLU, or CIC, but to provide a high level orientation to the whole spectrum of the industry's peculiarities & jargon.
Product Development
Seminar Chair: Dick Randall (Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company) | (800) 558-6411
A key competitive advantage for insurers is through the development and enhancement of products. As more carriers focus on product development, the process is often a stumbling block. This introductory workshop is designed for people new to the insurance product development role in property-casualty or life and health companies.
This workshop connects product development activities specifically to insurance products. It provides insights, ideas, and best practices in each phase of the process to guide products from idea through launch. It will include suggestions that attendees can implement immediately.
The SIR Claim / Product Summit: Let the synergies begin!
Too often, a carrier's Claims Department has little meaningful contact with Product Management, Underwriting, and Pricing. They reside in separate offices, use separate computer systems, and have different orientations toward the customer. People on the "front line" are aware of unintended coverage, coverage gaps, and opportunities, but that information does not find its way into pricing, underwriting, or product design.
But after two decades of revolutionary developments in pricing and underwriting automation and sophistication, Claims is the most fertile ground for technological advances and other innovations. At the Summit, we will bring together the people developing new tools for putting claim data to work and the people who are looking for new data and the insights it can provide.
