Specie Implementation • High-profile roll-out and implementation within the London Market • Enthusiastic team with strong leadership • Good support from the central Project Team • Quickly embedded within the Business Process • High volumes being sent • Frustrations at deteriorating response times
Bi-lateral Implementations • Bloodstock • Small Market • Used to corresponding and agreeing endorsements electronically (via email) • Quickly embedded in the Business Process • Volumes increasing • Terrorism • Larger market • Not full market take-up – makes the process disjointed for Brokers • Greater support from underwriters and central Project Team required to make bi-laterals in larger classes a success • Internal transition from email challenges
What’s going well • There are no showstoppers other than the usual culture and behaviour issues • Account Handlers are seeing efficiency benefits where underwriters respond within the SLA • In adopting Divisions, the use of electronic endorsements has been embedded in the business process • Total adoption seems to work better than partial • The number of insurers engaging in the initiative is increasing • Endorsements can and are being submitted from back office locations • A credible audit trail is captured automatically – we now know the status of endorsements
What could go better • Brokers need to deliver volume and stop engineering excuses as to why they are unable to do so • Underwriters need consistently to meet the 24hr SLA • Underwriters need actively to encourage electronic submission of contract changes so that they can deliver and capture electronic agreement
What are we even doing here? • In the time it takes to finish this 10 minute presentation you could have trained your line underwriters! • By the time the Q&A is over we could have trained our brokers • It’s time that we just got on with this!
Benefit cases • Progress of an endorsement can be tracked by colleagues in multiple locations • Ease of identification of underwriter that agreed the endorsement • Clear and documented audit trail • Greater clarity for claims departments • No discrepancies between broker and underwriter records • Removes requirement for re-keying data • Follow underwriters could now very easily capture all endorsements to contracts
What could underwriters do to help? • Heed the lessons from ECF adoption • Push your line underwriters to start behaving as though this is what your management insists that they do • Thank brokers who submit endorsements electronically • Explain to brokers who submit paper endorsements that they need to start submitting them electronically
It’s not just about me • The Electronic Endorsement initiative is not just about me • Change / Transformation is not a spectator sport! • Standing still is the commercial equivalent of going backwards • The London Market needs to succeed • Do we not have a collective duty to help with it’s progress? • The only way to do so is for many more of us to stop spectating from the sidelines and get out there and actively participate
