InsurTech NY News: Do you need a DOGE?
Famously named after a meme cryptocurrency, the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has converted an apolitical tech service – US Digital Service – into a ‘digital strike team’ attracting a firestorm of attention.
That raises the question: do insurers need their version of DOGE? Data says maybe.
Per Conning, non-commission expense ratios have barely budged since 1977 (data below). And, last we checked, we have better technology today. Insurers must ruthlessly question what is necessary to deliver underwriting performance and quality claims service.
If you are looking for ideas on how to do this, we have just the place – InsurTech Spring Conference.
Find your best ideas with panels on the Impact of AI on Pricing, The Next Gen Carrier Model, the Next Phase of Automated Underwriting, and Predicting Claims Behavior with Analytics.
