“Innovation is about creativity and discipline. The future competitive advantage in insurance is being shaped today, by insurers investing in innovation in disciplined ways.” says Dan White, the managing partner of Ninety Consulting, a fascinating company helping insurance companies to innovate. When I use the word “innovation”, I don’t mean it as “let’s start a BIG project, spend millions of $$$ and end up with a “shiny” project but not a true game-changer… Ninety Consulting has a legit framework in place to take an idea and go-to-market in 60 days. They do this working closely with your team, guiding them through their framework and make it happen in 60 days 📈 or “kill” the idea based on concrete findings

I asked Dan a couple of questions that I believe are important for fellow insurance professionals. Questions like;

  • Can you give us some insights about the trends of innovation in the insurance industry?
  • What are the challenges you experience when working with insurance companies?
  • What would you tell the companies that don’t have innovation in their agenda?
  • Which option is better to start innovating: creating an internal team or partnering with external companies? And why?

If you’re interested to hear more about what Ninety can offer you, let me know so I can send an intro to Ninety folks, or feel free to reach out to them through their website

Here is the video interview with Dan: https://youtu.be/4TQhpv3b5GQ
