AI and machine learning are proving to be the only methods in which organizations will meet customer demands at scale and as the race to win customers’ heart becomes tighter than ever, carriers are having to compete with tech giants for AI’s vital ingredients: talent and data.

Which is why the Insurance Analytics Canada Summit (Sep 25-26, Toronto) is bringing together the industry’s heavyweights to discuss how AI and advanced analytics can be utilized to deliver unparalleled performance, business

Over 40% of insurance carriers in Canada have not yet seen a clear return from their investments into advanced analytics (Canada’s First Insurance Analytics & AI Survey, Insurance Nexus, 2018).

Which is why Insurance Nexus is bringing Fernando Moreira (Senior Vice President of Global Insurance, Scotiabank) and Jean-François Larochelle (Director Data Lab, Intact) to discuss how to successfully deploy analytics into underwriting, distribution and claims processing, including their results and the c

Everyone is an adviser. Even if you are the CEO or the Chair of the Board, you are an adviser. As an adviser you seek to influence key decisions.

Recent studies show that when it comes to innovation, corporate strategists don’t walk the walk. They know that real change is required to succeed, but the vast majority of growth efforts are allocated to continuous innovation instead of disruptive ris
