Understand the role of claims service in identifying and reporting emerging trends.
In an ever-evolving and complex insurance environment, claims professionals are facing increasing challenges in providing the service their customers rely on. The recent CrowdStrike outage is an example of a complex, global event requiring expert response, as well as potentially impacting multiple classes of business, beyond the immediate cyber market.
Insurers are also facing greater pressure to build and maintain a strong claims culture, combining technical expertise with a customer-focused approach. In addition, the claims service also plays a key role in identifying and reporting emerging trends, so risks are understood and priced adequately.

- An overview of how claims processes have evolved in the last 10-15 years
