Controlling and Engaging Policyholders With Enhanced Risk Mitigation

Carriers have a potentially significant opportunity to deploy enhanced risk mitigation techniques to policyholders: Aite Group report

Boston, MA (May 9, 2019) – The challenge for P&C carriers has been that the actions and behaviors of their policyholders are, for the most part, beyond their control. However, enhanced risk mitigation techniques, supported by emerging technologies such as telematics and enhanced data analysis, are beginning to emerge. Aite Group’s newest report, Controlling and Engaging Policyholders With Enhanced Risk Mitigation, explores these enhanced risk mitigation techniques and whether they provide P&C carriers an opportunity to gain some control over policyholders.

“Attempts to control the environment can be effective, but these efforts ignore the element of human error,” states Jay Sarzen, senior analyst at Aite Group. “Carriers are often left to hope that their insureds act responsibly or that people coming into businesses or restaurants will act responsibly, but even responsible people make mistakes, and accidents can happen as a result, even in environments that have been made safer. Clearly, hope is not a strategy, so carriers are compelled to look beyond environmental control,” he goes on to explain.
