The Gates Principle of Future Disruption

“We always over-estimate the change that will occur in the next two years, and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.”

- Bill Gates

Preparing for change…

• iPad, iPhone, Mobile apps

• Hadoop, NoSQL

• Viable driverless cars

• “The Internet of Things”

• More things than people connected to the Internet

• Social Media (Facebook and Twitter barely a year old)

• AI outside of the lab

Things that didn’t exist:

Looking back ten years to April 2007…

Preparing for change…

• Direct online sales of commercial insurance as a viable concept

• The idea of persistent low interest rates in the United States

• Widespread use of catastrophe bonds

• Silicon Valley VCs who could spell insurance

Insurers are flipping the Gates Principle

Most insurers believe the industry will be radically different in ten years. But few believe it will be radically different in the short term.

IT budgets and transformation investments remain low

On average, insurers are devoting 0.81 cents of each premium dollar to IT transformation in a time of unprecedented change being driven by technology.

Examples from Previously Overhyped FinTech Categories

Decade Trend Examples What the Industry Learned What Happened?

1990’s“Internet-Only Banks”

Security First, Wingspan

People like the convenience of online banking, but online-only banks don’t have mass appeal.

Start-ups acquired by tech providers or re-absorbed into major banks that funded them.

1990’sOnline Trading

E-Trade,Ameritrade

People like online trading, bigger segment than previously understood willing to trade advice for low prices.

Some sold their tech, some merged, some stayed independent and went head-to-head with existing discount brokers.

2000’sInnovativeLending

OnDeckIt’s possible to price loans using additional data/analytics beyond credit scores.

It’s still hard to sell loans. Some banks partnered to use models.

2010Mobile-Only banks

SimpleMobile/Social banking has niche appeal

Bought by major bank.

The ABCs of “InsureTech”

“InsureTech” isn’t really a single category of thing. There are four main categories that serve very different purposes.

Insurers should understand the potential values and threats of each different class of players

Analytics Arms Dealers

Big data analytics tools, AI start-ups, and data aggregators offer insurers new ways to access and analyze information.

• Competing with traditional software and data vendors

• Likely to be acquired by them if they show traction

Beneficial Bots

Drones, IoT, blockchain, and other new technology tools or platforms that can be leveraged to improve insurance processes and products.

• May change the cost basis of some key dramatically, e.g.:

• Drones and offshore oil rig inspections

• IoT and equipment monitoring

• Blockchain and… (TBD)

• Change in cost basis can change viability of pricing and products

Digital Distributors

New channel for incumbent insurers

• Some competition with existing channels, but more likely to be opening up new market segments than eroding current channels

• Provide examples of best practices in addressing customer needs and expectations

• May become reasonably successful distributors if they can manage growth expectations appropriately; may be acquired by major brokers or intermediaries

• e.g. Evosure acquired by IVANS

What is “Predictive Analytics”?

While actuarial models predict risk across a book, predictive models are used to make specific determinations about individual cases (risks, claims, customers, etc.).

• Typically generate a score used to assess risk, indicate customer profitability, claim severity, or any other area.

• “Predict” both the future (underwriting risk) and the likelihood of pattern match (fraudulent claims).

• Current trends and attributes:

• Increased complexity and sophistication of modeling techniques;

• Breadth and depth of both internal and external data sources; and

• The use of a single "score" as the output of the analysis that can be used to guide decision-making – human or machine.

• Can be coupled with machine learning to improve models in real-time.

Predictive Analytics Deployment Rates

There is a predictive analytics gap between large and midsize insurers. Midsize insurers are conducting more pilots, but large insurers continue to invest to maintain their leads.

18% of insurers believe there is a high probability that predictive analytics will create material affects this year.

Machine learning is the next stage of predictive analytics

• 10-20% of insurers report using machine learning to improve rating algorithms.

• Machine vision offers potential for property underwriting and claims.

• Natural Language Processing virtual assistants have some application as chatbots, but insurers must beware the uncanny valley in voice systems.
