Some topics that are covered are:   🏁 The differences and intersection between the role and definition of a  data scientist and an actuary 🏁 Technical product management combined with the insurance product and market knowledge can’t be seen independently 🏁 What is already working well in the insurance industry 🏁 Where is space for improvement in the insurance space 🏁 Why “real” and “disruptive” product innovation in the insurance industry are rare 🏁 Why buying behaviour matters and making a bet on changing client behaviour is not a good idea 🏁 What is the “One Policy” concept from Wefox/One Insurance and why is it relevant 🏁 What is the “Switch product” 🏁 How to optimize through all distribution channels (Aggregators, Broker, NAFI, AOs) 🏁 How to use distribution aggregators as distribution channels (e.g.check 24) and how to optimate products for that channel 🏁 The role of trust between end consumer, broker and insurer 🏁  Ideas on how to enable brokers with insurance products and services and tools so all parties benefit   #podcast #insurance #distribution #versicherung #insuranceindustry #versicherungsmakler #insuranceagent #datascience
