PwC insurance industry specialists Ali Khan, Jim Quick and Imran Ilyas discuss cloud trends within the industry, how they enable business model reinvention and help carriers configure and integrate quickly for innovation.
Advances in technology, new market entrants and shifts in consumer demands are challenging insurers to re-think their business models and technology platforms. At PwC, we see this across industries, with 40% of all CEO's believing their companies will no longer be economically viable a decade from now if they continue on their current path (PwC's 26th Annual Global CEO Survey). For insurers, new and shifting risk exposures exacerbate this challenge – leading many leaders to undertake a technologically-driven transformation to increase agility and improve performance.
PwC supports insurers in establishing the initial business case for change through a comprehensive business and technologically-driven model. This analysis helps support your program funding processes typically needed to undertake large enterprise programs. Beyond establishing the Total Cost of Ownership Model, we work with you to define the long-term enterprise drivers of the project, which when coupled with strong project governance capabilities align the execution of the project with the strategic goals of the initiative. In fact, our research has found this to be a key differentiator to project success, with changes to scope mid-project and poor estimates in the planning phase the top reasons for project delay (PwC 4th Global Portfolio and Programme Survey).
