WHAT WE KNOW

Ownership and liability, the simplistic nature of the insurance industry we once knew, has changed—dramatically. What used to be an easy line drawn in the sand has now become a blurred delineation which is subject to ambiguous and subjective definitions of ‘who owns what?’ and, even, ‘what is ownership?’ As with the majority of the economy’s sub-sectors, the digital and information sharing age is catalyzing the insurance sector’s need for a complete, strategic reposition in order to solidify its relevance and the way in which it operates. With such an increasingly sophisticated audience and ever-changing access to a wide array of competitive options, purchasing channels and innovative ownership alternatives, insurance companies are bracing for continued sector change, M&A activity and the need to jump on the ‘speed to innovate’ bandwagon.
