Digital in Insurance : Conservatism in the face of Modernism.





It has been proven by several thinkers including Jacques Attali, the former 
adviser to former French President François Mitterrand that the world of 
tomorrow will focus more on safety and leisure. According to them, industries 
in full expansion which will absorb a large part of the investments will be
leisure industries and security industries.

Our great-grandchildren will want to be assured and reassured to take
pleasure of life. Insurance will be one of those sectors that will monopolize
all the confidence of the world to come. Faced with this reality, insurance is 
accelerating its digitization.

Insurance companies have struggled to adapt to this new way of working, which has
imposed on companies by the health crisis. Attendance at the office was
replaced by a virtual presence. The need to digitize has shown how
insurance companies are marked by an absence of a digital culture. DNA
insurance being the maintenance of the link between the insurer and the insured - 
this obliges assurances of flexibility to better adapt to new work requirements
in order to ensure its appointment with the future which already looks promising.

Even if the historical culture of insurance can be an obstacle to digitalization,
the health crisis has shaken up insurance habits. To stay at work he has
had to multiply digital channels with customers. And this "revolution" in the
insurance was able to maintain a good quality of service and attention. It's about 
a"revolution" in the evolution well assumed and accelerated but which raises the
question of the place reserved for the unique relationship between the insurer 
and the insured.

The claim relationship remains at the heart of communication in the offices of the
insurance and therefore it is very difficult to brush it aside because
to keep it intact, human contact is mandatory. To digitize their
modes of communication, the insurance companies had to deeply take into account
their particular aspect of communication. In a way, it's not
all customer requests that require a strong relationship with insurance
but for other types of requests that may be more serious, a simple
chatbot is not enough.

Should we therefore ignore the digitization of insurance by asserting that it is 
not simply not sufficient to maintain a perfect relationship-insured and insurer-
and efficient? It would be risky to engage in this direction, especially since, 
according to one EY study, nearly 80% of consumers choose to interact with their
insurance through digital channels. To give you an example, there is
few years, the agency and its adviser had a central place but the role has
now changed and supports services already offered online. For everything
summary, it is quite clear that the network of insurance agencies will not 
increase in numbers but what is more interesting to keep in mind, regardless 
of theirnumber,it is their interest to establish and consolidate a real 
relationship of trust with the insured.

The insurance sector being acclaimed as one of the branches of the insurance 
industry safety which will be part of the consumer goods of the future on the 
planet,it goes without saying that the sector is highly competitive and therefore 
stimulates innovation. For the world of insurance everyone is jostling, 
it seems that it there is no going back. And therefore its openly competitive 
character necessarily drives a race for innovation. Proposals of offers
ever more targeted and attractive from a pricing perspective in order to reduce 
costs and improve its competitiveness are available.

In this universe of competition, companies tend to offer services and
products adapted to each customer. This is called personalization.
customer relationship. And so thanks to artificial intelligence and databases,
the hyper-personalization of the customer relationship is possible. 
This allows customers to live a unique experience.

Insurance companies have adopted a strategy centered around the hyper-
personalization of the insurance and insured relationship. 
Of course hyper-personalization is not a the only way to transform the sector, 
it places the improvement of the customer relationship. 
This leads to an automation of the greatest number of tasks, which implies 
more professions, sometimes new professions in insurance. 
The insurance industry is going through a huge moment of change. The
CEOs have a role in pushing for strong support for the digitalization process.
This process must be permanent even if it is demanding.
