A powerful combination for success in the increasingly dynamic insurance industry
In this white paper, we explore the idea that by applying the combined principles of business agility and diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), companies in the insurance and reinsurance industry can future-proof themselves for survival and success in an increasingly uncertain and rapidly-changing environment.
You will also get through the results of our pulse check an overview of the status quo regarding agility and DE&I in Switzerland and some exclusive insights from Swiss Re, a leading organisation in the industry, that is already harnessing the two approaches in the context of its business.
What do the results of our pulse check reveal?
As part of this paper, we conducted a pulse check within the insurance industry and related industries in Switzerland. The picture painted by the pulse check is positive, and indicates that companies are moving away from seeing diversity as a mere KPI and are increasingly treating it as a valuable business priority. In our report, we look at how this ties in with Agile.
The power of DE&I and Agile combined: it’s all about robust business outcomes
Moving to more Agile and technology-enabled business models requires a shift in workforce behaviour, culture and mindset. It’s essential to prepare the workforce for this “new normal” and to secure their buy-in to make the most of new opportunities and the potential to carve out fresh revenue streams. Technology alone isn’t enough to transform business and boost results. Success requires people with the right skills backed by the right technology.
Through our interview with Kanak Tripathi and Aidan McCormack from Swiss Re, you will discover how tapping into the combined power of agile and DE&I can unlock more robust business outcomes.
Building meaningful solutions that solve real-world problems demands creativity, and creativity comes from differing opinions and feeling psychologically safe. An inclusive environment that represents all of us, with all our differences and similarities, and an agile environment where we feel safe to experiment and iterate: this is the only way our solutions will create value for society and for Swiss Re.
