Ground Rules • Forum is not part of the collective bargaining or s. 54 process – it informs context for forthcoming negotiations • We ask that you exercise patience as we share our plans • Not able to answer questions such as potential site closures or employee impacts, because we do not yet know • We will follow up on appropriate questions that cannot be answered • We are committed to sharing information with the Union as soon as decisions are made

How will we get there? Our approach to building the customer experience: • Understanding our customers – which aspects of our service customers like /don’t like, and what needs & wants they have that currently aren’t being met • Enabling our employees and business to deliver – based on customer insights, enabling our employees and business to consistently deliver what customers expect
Understanding customers’ attitudes and perceptions of ICBC • Understand “moment of truth” pain points • Continuously measure Customer Experience to track progress • Customer Experience priorities with greatest impact on BBQ score
What is stopping us today? • Our processes and policies do not support our employees • Employees don’t have the right tools and information • Current systems are not designed around the customer interaction • Current systems require repetitive entry of data making it difficult for our employees to deliver the ideal customer experience
How will we get there? We need to provide our employees with: • Better, single-source information that helps them be more efficient • Streamlined processes that enable them to deliver an excellent customer experience • Systems that allow employees to spend time on what matters to the customer • Better training for employees to help them meet the needs of customers
First Steps • Defining Current Claims Processes • Involved 180 Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from across the Claims division to understand how things really work in different parts of Claims • Validated results with Claims employees • Industry Best Practices • Researched & evaluated industry-leading practices • Extracted lessons learned from other organizations • Customer Focus Groups • Tounderstand our customers’ expectations and what they value in their Claims experience
Defining Current Claims Processes • SME team reviewed more than 3,000 issues & opportunities identified • Identified ways to simplify and improve processes, including specific technology needs/capabilities, i.e. business requirements • Validated by external advisor with experience in Claims transformations

“They need to treat you with respect. Treat you like a human being.” “I want no assumption of guilt. You always feel like you have to defend yourself.” “You should have all expenses paid. You shouldn't have to pay out-of-pocket” ”For simple claims, why can’t we report online?” “I want a human response. It felt like the person was filling out a questionnaire. There was no emotion, no empathy.” “Why can’t I look up information on your web site that tells me exactly what I can expect from you when I have an accident.” Customer Focus Groups Respect Me Trust Me Meet my Needs Provide me “Hassle Free” Service Transparency Empathize with Me
