Bridging Generations, Building Success: Unlocking the Power of a Multigenerational Customer Base in Insurance

Today’s insurance customers span four generations, each with distinct needs, expectations, and communication preferences. The challenge for insurers is delivering experiences that resonate with all while maintaining consistency, trust, and efficiency.

Dynamics at the Intersection of Claims and Underwriting

Elise Farnham

President, Illumine Consulting


While underwriters tend to be looking in the ‘rearview mirror’ when placing coverage, claims professionals are considering the ‘here and now.’ And yet, both perspectives are vital in making certain the risk is evaluated correctly, coverage is appropriate for the risk, and claims are handled within the intent of coverage. In this program, we will explore how these two functions can complement one another to more effectively serve the needs of current and prospective insureds.
