A leading insurance provider is embarking on a transformative journey to become a data-driven insurer of the future. The firm serves tens of millions of customers across the world and has a vision to develop into a future state insurer strategy across business units underpinned by a modern data platform and capability.

The organisation chose Mesh-AI to harness its world leading expertise in building modern data capabilities to bring clarity to its approach to data, demonstrate an impact across the organisation and shift the businesses towards a data-driven way of thinking.

The Vision: Bold Ambitions for Data

This ambitious vision encompasses several key elements:

  1. Unified Data Strategy: Creating a cohesive, forward-looking approach to data management, facilitating easier access to both group-wide and General Insurance specific information.
  2. Cultural Transformation: Driving a shift towards a data-centric organisation, bridging the gap between analytics and operations.
  3. Value Demonstration: Showcasing tangible benefits through targeted interventions across all General Insurance products.
  4. Empowering Key Personas: Transforming roles across the insurance journey, particularly enhancing data scientists' capabilities with improved self-service and direct data access.
  5. Holistic Change: Implementing thematic changes across technology, processes, people, structures, and governance, including a more flexible and cost-effective cloud strategy.
  6. Future-Ready Design: Building a general insurer for the future, leveraging industry-leading data capabilities.

This comprehensive vision aims to position the genera insurer at the forefront of the insurance industry, utilising data as a strategic asset to drive business growth, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction.

The Challenge: Navigating Complexity While Targeting Strategic Goals

The business faces the challenge of a fragmented data estate while managing £350+ billion in assets. To address this, the company has set four strategic goals:

  1. Accelerate growth
  2. Deliver a better, digitally-led customer experience
  3. Increase efficiency across the business
  4. Target Net Zero by 2040

The primary aim is to increase the value of data through a future state insurer strategy, underpinned by a modern data platform and capability, aligned with these four strategic objectives.
