Data-driven analytics are transforming industry after industry, and insurance is no exception. Across the value chain, industry leaders are investing to infuse data science and analytics into every facet of their business. Often, digital innovations are framed by incremental and internal priorities, such as “how do I increase efficiency and reduce costs?” However, there are much greater opportunities to unlock value through new products and services by looking more holistically at the underlying digital ecosystem of any given industry.

Connected data and real-time analytics can improve how we think about changes in exposure and loss notification. Now also imagine the opportunities to address resiliency to climate change, or to predict and prevent incidents from happening in the first place?
