Understanding information across a wide spectrum is one of the key functions of Accenture research. We consistently publish reports based on surveys from top-tier organizations around the globe, as well as our own research. That information is used to help everyone in the organization, from senior executives to employees, better navigate an ever-changing business landscape.
Recently, we published Accenture’s Technology Vision for Insurance 2019 report, which looks at the trends most likely to affect the industry over the next few years. As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about and facilitating innovation, I was excited to read this report. It shows the ways in which technology will collectively inform how enterprises build the next generation of business and create paths toward future growth.
This bold new era will look very different from the insurance landscape of the pre-digital decades, and insurance companies must figure out how they can shape their business around individual customers and tailor their products and services––or else struggle to compete.
POST-DIGITAL FOR A DIGITAL FUTURE
In this series, I want to explore the top five trends identified in our Technology Vision report and how they relate to insurance. In each trend, you’ll see how digital saturation is raising expectations, abilities, and risks across industries, and how insurance organizations are seeking new ways to differentiate themselves as the world moves rapidly into the post-digital era.
In my next post, I will explore the power of DARQ––and how distributed ledger technology, AI, extended reality, and quantum computing will help insurers reimagine the entire industry and its role in the world.
