| 9:30 am - 10:15 am | Organizational Innovation - Becoming a More Effective Institution |
| | Innovation isn't just about deploying bleeding-edge technologies - it also encompasses how insurance companies are structured, the jobs people do and how performance is evaluated. In this kind of fast-moving, changing and hyper-competitive environment, simply aligning IT and business isn't enough. Insurers must advance to the next generation of business/IT collaboration, resulting in new roles and responsibilities, and new expectations for the CIO/CTO and other senior technology executives. What will the successful insurance company of tomorrow look like, and which organizations are leading the way there?
Competing for talent in a global workplace.
Process optimization - operational innovation.
New roles and responsibilities - the new look of insurance IT.
Rethinking governance.
