  1. Market Reform Forum Update on business reform 11 November Andy Brookes Lloyd’s BPR

  2. Objective: up to speed in half hour…… • (Briefly) principles and approach • Accounting and Settlement • Electronic Claims Files • Contract Certainty and Documentation • Benchmarking • Kinnect • LMP slips

  3. Principles underpinning reform • Reduce ‘Londonisms’: international firms must buy-in – governance role • Change requires authority and a degree of neutrality: individual firms cannot do it alone; Lloyd’s and the Associations will lead • Commitment to co-operate essential, on design and implementation • Network effects: a convoy for implementation • Cost / benefit case is rarely convincing on its own. FSA – the ‘smouldering’ platform. Transparency – the (now) burning platform • Minimum requirements; don’t ‘over satisfy’

  4. Overall approach to market reform • Drive standards for data and harmonisation of process • LMP slip; A&S; claims management; ACORD work; contract certainty initiatives • Build supporting electronic infrastructure, throughout the life cycle of a contract • A&S; electronic infrastructure for claims (CLASS, ECF); Kinnect Result: transparency in processes and performance. Then market firms and trading partners can measure and manage • LMP slips, policy production, A&S take-up, claims processing

  5. Accounting and Settlement • LMA & IUA funding sign-up ongoing • Brokers contribution ‘agreed’ • Detailed business design progressing • September interim; has changed little • Premium processes complete; claims nearly finished; outward reinsurance well advanced • End November publication • Plus interim detailed data deliverable • Subsequent deliverables • Swift sign-off from Market Associations – please • First governance meetings held – MRIB, A&S Project board • MRIB and Project Board working on implementation timetable

  6. Electronic Claims File • New XIS Contract 90% Managing Agents by value signed • XIS started repository enhancements work 1st Oct • Contract schedule for CLASS for Lloyd’s out soon to managing agents • XIS started enhancements on CLASS for Lloyd’s 1st Nov • Governance • Claims project board set up • Market associations – LMA, LMBC, IUA - groups in place • Working on the implementation timetable • Which firms for which lines of business?

  7. Contract Certainty and Documentation • 4 Process options identified by the CCSG • XIS involved earlier/quicker is the focus • Potential initial implementation areas identified by LMBC documentation overview committee (DOC) and CCSG – 300 risks starting Q1 2005 • Performance monitoring group has made initial proposals regarding measurement • Lloyd’s and XIS codifying the checks; rationalise; publish performance data. Binders first

  8. Measuring reform • Purpose of measurement • Trustworthy data (vs. “I’ve heard it takes…..”) • To drive process improvements • Provoke firms to improve performance – measurable targets where possible • Measure impact of reform agenda • Dimensions • Timing; Quality; Cost; Satisfaction – customer service survey • Sequence of delivery • LMP Slips – more of the same • Document production; XIS policy checking; start with binders • Use of A&S and Claims electronic infrastructure • Overseen by the London Market Standards Committee

  9. Kinnect • November 1 release • Went well – enhanced placement process: harmonised business process; rough edges smoothed; market acceptable • Hiscox signed-up; live in early December • Working on endorsements • Finalising business requirements:Q2 delivery aim • User adoption is key: Kinnect as core process • Step by step through H1 • Eg Create (LMP) slips on Kinnect • Additional risk classes H2 2005: terrorism; international property
