Susanne Møllegaard guests on the Asia InsurTech Podcast

“Insurance is about people helping people.”

Susanne Møllegaard, CEO, Process Factory

Even when talking about InsurTech, this is still the case. No matter how many layers of technology you add to the insurance processes, it will, at its core, always be about empowering people to do what they do even better, for the benefit of the end consumer.

This is one of many excellent points made by our CEO Susanne Møllegaard in a conversation with Michael Waitze for the Asia InsurTech Podcast. Michael is the founder of Michael Waitze Media and has successfully built up a fast-growing base of engaged podcast listeners. The Asia InsurTech Podcast has listeners in 135 countries worldwide and is among the top 5% of the most shared podcasts globally on Spotify in 2022.

During the conversation, Susanne and Michael discussed some of the current trends in insurance. Susanne suggested that many insurers have adopted the InsurTech agenda, to the extent that some have become InsurTechs themselves, and they are now starting to embrace the open insurance agenda as well.

They also discussed the importance of localization for the insurance industry, since the local practice, processes, and third-party system integrations differ a lot from country to country. It is costly to underestimate the challenges when entering a new market either as a software vendor or as an insurer. That emphasizes the pivotal need for local market expertise.

Denmark’s Digital Leadership Calls for Local Market Knowledge

By Susanne Møllegaard, CEO, Process Factory

Denmark’s leading position is the result of innovative companies and close and committed cooperation across the entire public sector, and in close partnership with private partners. This is true, for example, in areas where it has been necessary and appropriate to create interdisciplinary solutions that are widely used in the everyday lives of Danes, whether they come into contact with the public or the private sector.

No matter what happens with the World Championship in football, which is about to take place in Qatar, we can rejoice that Denmark has already secured a World Cup trophy this year. Denmark has been named the World Champion in digital infrastructure by the United Nations. For the third time in a row, that is!

The Trend Continues

Denmark’s leading position in digital infrastructure is no coincidence – and the trend does not end here. The government’s high ambition cannot be realized without digital connectedness between the public and private players. The insurance industry is also a significant player in this.

Citizens and businesses should feel that the public sector offers the best and most coherent public service with the individual citizen and business at the center.

Not Unlike Heart Surgery

The World Championship is also part of the explanation for the high complexity in the market, which, for one thing, affects the implementation of new systems for insurance companies. The implementation process always comes with its fair share of surprises, and projects often take longer and are more expensive than expected.

Due to the comprehensive digital infrastructure, replacing an insurance system can be compared to performing heart surgery. There are dozens of custom-built national and industry-specific systems and processes with which the newly implemented “heart” will interact. And more are being added every day.

Access to local market knowledge is crucial to ensuring a successful surgery, benefitting your customers, employees, and ultimately your bottom line.

Context

The UN Department for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) has just released its E-Government Survey, which compares the public digital infrastructure in the 193 UN member states. Each country is ranked according to an index that weighs, among other things, a selection of online services made available to its citizens.
