Blah blah blah. There is still a lot of nonsense written and spoken about what insurers are looking for in their innovation partners and what is successful - find out what really matters in our podcast this week with Lloyd’s syndicate and global insurer Chaucer. And if you are wondering what our events and podcasts actually look like, then take a peek at our reinvigorated YouTube channel.
PODCAST: Innovation success - go narrow, go deep - Podcast 238
Join Matthew Grant as he speaks to Duncan Gemmel, Chief Strategy Officer, and Hayley Maynard, Head of Innovation at Chaucer Group. Topics include how to engage underwriters in new opportunities, what Chaucer looks for in technology and data offerings, plus much more.
We have a couple of spaces left to join Matthew Grant and HazardHub founder Bob Frady to learn more about HazardHub’s dataset of 1,400 attributes and how it was built. We will be reviewing the use of risk profiles to optimise portfolio performance and detailing how to build underwriting guidelines. Insurers, brokers and MGAs only, but don't delay in registering if you want to come along.
