EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Beginning in 2007, Celent sought to identify and promote effective use of technology in insurance as a means to foster investment in innovation. Model Insurer is awarded for best practices of technology usage in different areas critical to success in insurance, and is the main award an insurer can win from Celent.

Insurers are encouraged to submit their initiatives, which we evaluate on three criteria:

 Demonstrable business benefits.  Degree of innovation.  Technology or implementation excellence as seen through the use of best practices.

This year we are accepting nominations in five categories:

 Data mastery, analytics and AI.  Digital and omnichannel technology.  Innovation and emerging technologies.  Legacy transformation.  Operational excellence.

Being recognized as a Model Insurer has a number of benefits for the insurance company and its executives:

 Prestige of the award.  PR opportunities to promote the award.  Further exposure via a Celent case study.  Complimentary invitation to attend Innovation and Insight Day, Celent’s flagship annual event.  Personal benefits, such as recognition internally and externally.  Strengthened relationship with the technology vendor.

To optimize your chances of winning the award, select your best initiative(s) that would score highly on all three criteria above and clearly explain to us what you did, why, and how. Get help from your technology vendor to submit the nomination form if you like, but make sure to own the entire process and stay on top of it.

Most importantly, remember: you can only win the competition if you enter it! Please visit https://www.celent.com/awards/model_insurer and submit your initiatives by completing the nomination form by December 15, 2017. We look forward to hearing from you.

OPPORTUNITY In 2013, CSE Insurance Group commenced a massive transformation. Under the same management for 20 years, most of CSE’s senior leadership team was retiring. Led by its new CEO and new leadership team, the company launched a three-year strategic plan in 2014. The plan was based on three pillars: People, Process, and Products. A new

mentality that supported the willingness to take risks was born.

For People, CSE changed who worked for the company. They hired 100 employees in a two-year period, seeking out those with technical skills and education, effectively changing a more clerical staff into a professional services staff. They also made organizational changes to their IT, actuarial, product management, and marketing teams. Governance was formalized to emphasize transparency and collaborative decision- making. And, by changing from a model that was resistant to change to one that looks for change daily, CSE made innovation part of the company’s culture.

CSE also chose the various applications and deployment methods that would support their transformation of process. They invested in new tools such as Emblem for predictive modeling. They moved technology to the Amazon cloud to allow for multiple, simultaneous development environments. With the right people and tools in place, they were ready to build new insurance products. They chose to revamp their legacy Dwelling Insurance product first.

CSE aspired to achieve “the best product in the industry.” This meant they had to overcome legacy thinking and practices to rethink all the features including coverage, pricing, rules, process, and communications. To do so, they sought inputs from customers and analyzed the market using two common analyses: 5 Cs (company, customers, competitors, collaborators, and climate) and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats). Their analyses revealed opportunities to address concerns of users at every level: purchasers of the insurance, the agents who sell it, and the CSE staff who price, underwrite, and process claims for it.

SOLUTION The result was the company’s new flagship Landlord Insurance, which offers broader coverage, more discounts, and greater ease of doing business than any other landlord, dwelling fire, or rental insurance product in the US marketplace.

Landlord Insurance covers a property owner from financial losses connected with rental properties. The policy covers the building, any contents inside the building that belong to 1 Appendix the landlord, and liability of the landlord towards third parties. The industry offers generic

solutions. CSE worked to design a user-friendly product that offered more coverage. Chapter: Chapter:

PROJECT PLANNING

Product Research The project initiated with a written charter and stretch goals to develop the very best product in the industry across each dimension of rating, coverage, underwriting, ease of use, and marketing communication. The goals were communicated to the entire leadership and project team. The project was then prioritized, which cleared the way for the dedication of resources to be aligned across the entire organization.

CSE conducted primary and secondary research to learn about the needs of the customer and about the rental property market. They received advice from their agent advisory council. They analyzed landlord blogs, Google Analytics, Epsilon demographic and lifestyles market research, and Conning segment analysis. They joined the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM) to learn about the industry from their perspective. They attended state and local chapter NARPM meetings and conducted a focus group with NARPM members at a local restaurant to learn about their insurance perceptions and needs as well as the needs of their clients.

Separately, they conducted a similar focus group of their independent agents and held 12 individual agency discussions dedicated to landlord insurance needs. They conducted internal focus groups with their claims and underwriting operations groups to understand and address their needs. They also analyzed their key competitors’ market positions and product offerings. All this informed their 5 Cs marketing and SWOT analyses, which in turn led to clear product requirements.

Their analysis showed that landlords are concerned about missing rent payments and eviction. CSE brought this knowledge into the focus groups, and there the concept of CSE’s Eviction Reimbursement coverage took hold. CSE developed a new cover and is now the only carrier to offer eviction expense reimbursement in the United States (copyright filed and pending).

Product Marketing Formerly, CSE followed ISO and called their product Dwelling Fire, which was not descriptive of the product. They considered a variety of alternative names that would be more descriptive, including rental property insurance and investment property insurance among others. Agent and property manager focus groups and their agent advisory council feedback all pointed out that customers primarily refer to themselves as landlords. Google analytics of search terms indicated a much larger use of “Landlord Insurance” versus other search terms. Using these analyses, they renamed the product from CSE Dwelling Fire to CSE Landlord Insurance.

They communicated the new name and coverage changes to renewal customers with rich and informative collateral that resonated better with customers and agents alike. This was enabled by their newly outsourced print services, which provided better quality materials than CSE’s in-house capabilities. They also added a new business and renewal business letter from the CEO to align the product with the company brand and give it a personalized touch. They provided their agents with a table showing CSE’s coverage, discounts, and exclusions versus the competitors.

They kicked off the new product at their agent convention, where they went over the new product’s features and benefits to the customer. Following the product launch they presented the product at agent road show presentations across California. Daily agent training webinars were also held during the weeks following the launch.

With the launch of the new product, CSE’s public website was updated to give a product overview, features, and discounts for prospective customers to preview. They also provided new digital marketing material for all agents through the CSEAgents.com website.

After the product launch, they opened a contest to the agents: if any agent could simply 1 Appendix name another dwelling fire product in any state that has broader coverage, offered more discounts, or is easier to do business with, then CSE would give them $500. As

expected, there were no winners. This was to position CSE’s Landlord Insurance, in the Chapter: Chapter:

Due to the high dislocation, retention decreased by about 7 percentage points. It is more than made up for by higher quality and more new business. They are now writing more “preferred” segment policies with less insurance claim risk, including:

 Higher replacement cost valuations.  Newer building age.  Larger square footage properties.  Higher liability limits.  Higher deductibles.  More optional insurance coverages purchased.

The rating is supported with customer-friendly discounts. After evaluating candidate variables CSE promotes and displays over nine discounts, the most in the industry.

Other key metrics include:

 Through various technologies and the Scrum process, CSE delivered the full product to market and completed the project on time.

 CSE is growing into top 5 market share and ownership in this market.  Average quote time went from about 7 minutes to 2–3 minutes after the new product.  Time to complete an application went from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.
