Underwriting Analysis

 

Our mapping and issue decomposition methodologies provide a foundation to identify, analyze and understand the underwriting issues that impact profit and growth and identify improvements that will reduce underwriting costs per policy.


Operational success requires:

a sharply-focused strategy (that reflects market conditions)
effective execution of key processes (that add a known value)
a performance-oriented culture (constantly focused on productivity and business effectiveness)
communication that promotes collaboration across the company (information exchange with claims and marketing)

Underwriting assessments document existing underwriting strategy, work processes, and inspection practices for cost-benefit (including underwriter work distribution and productivity) across line, risk segment, jurisdiction, and agent demographics.

Analysis and recommendations are documented in an underwriting vision document supported by an underwriting components model, workflow diagrams, and analytics.  The result is a unified underwriting framework designed to support business objectives balanced between growth and profit while maintaining value chain discipline.

We assess and make recommendations regarding
Automated Underwriting Rule Sets, Portfolio Management, and Loss Ratio Improvement Programs.


We facilitate inter-disciplinary "think tanks" between underwriting, pricing, and claims - resulting in a unified corporate approach to underwriting profitability.
