• Introduction of IDI
  An insight-driven insurer (IDI) embeds analysis, data, and reasoning into the decision making process, every day. Becoming an IDI means figuring out how to scale analytics projects across the organization to drive greater business impact. In our experience, an IDI requires a combination of five essential building blocks and concerted efforts within business strategy, actuarial and IT and other teams.
  
  
• Detailed insights of IDI from the five main aspects: strategy, people, process, technology and data
  An IDI has five building blocks including strategy, people, process, technology and data. From strategic perspective, setting strategy requires executive sponsors and champions to carefully define their analytics objectives and align the analytics journey with the organization’s broader goals, business plans and win strategy. From actuarial perspective, in terms of people, an IDI needs to identify the champions and develop analytics talent as well as build an analytical culture. Moreover, IDIs need processes to turn data into insight and to act upon that insight. From technological perspective, the organization needs people with the requisite technical skills, a delivery model to disseminate insights across the organization and a structured approach for collaborating with your third-party technology partners to build up a well-thought-out solution architecture. With regard to data, IDIs need to optimize and visualize the current data sets and obtain new valuable data as well as ensure regulatory compliance and carefully consider the ethical implications of how they use their data.
