Kasko principally works with Insurance and digital businesses to help them create digital insurance products or services.  In this episode we talked about:   Insurtech as a service  What is an Insurance "product"  The technical debt in the insurance space created by COVID19  How innovation can be an excuse for action  How innovation must have a measurable ROI Insurance is a fast follower business   How Intrapreneurship is better than innovation as it implies responsibility  Why make or buy is a meaningless argument  How legacy needs to be taken off the backs of innovation efforts to make those efforts successful  Why most innovation labs have failed against expectation  Acknowledging that consulting is easier than doing  Working out which data points to listen to Innovation can be toxic if not validated  Value means someone wants to pay for it!  Insurance: is it a capacity play vs technology play  Insurtech cant get away from underwriting discipline   How it may look when Amazon enters the insurance market and much more - this was a really enjoyable podcast and Nik was great fun, not afraid to tackle some issues that often get missed.  This podcast was brought to you by FinPro an executive recruitment business that works in the Insurance and Instech space   Our host is FinPro Director, Alex Bond Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed this podcast Hosted on Acast.
