*** translated here a important topic posted last week *** That's right! The “good old” concept of time management, with theoretical and practical foundations largely formalized in the 1950s and 1960s, through publications about administration and management that emphasized the importance of organizing and prioritizing tasks, optimizing the use of time. It seems simple and basic these days, doesn't it? Since then, the concept has evolved, incorporating new techniques and tools. More and more, Humanity, and not just in the professional life, do more activities than before. Especially with the advancement of technology and productivity methodologies, we are increasingly connected and for longer. Increasingly available and, finally, we are required and demand from others regarding immediacy. Everything, and a lot of things, “is for yesterday”. But the day, week, month and year remain the same: 24 hours, 7 days, 12 months and 365 days a year... that's when competition arises between the activities and priorities we need to complete. For me, this is the biggest challenge: the time! How to manage time with so much to do? How can you exercise leadership in front of so many people to help guide and inspire? How to lead companies in the face of so many external challenges? How do we respond to so many different stimuli and opportunities? I really believe that every executive is looking for increase the results. In addition to being able to recognize the future, uncertainties and risks are important points to be analyzed. But, how can we look at this agenda with the depth, knowledge and dedication that it deserves, with so many other urgencies? The risk remains the submerged part of the iceberg, competing with the urgencies of the emerged part, which are visible and immediate! And how can we, risk managers, help? I believe that we need to be more pragmatic, work with more practical agendas, in a more succinct and uncomplicated way, to be able to act as a link between the company administration and the risk management, forming solid bases of mutual trust between the administration and the diagnosis made by us, Risk Managers. Supporting and speeding up the decision making process, with increasingly assertiveness, respecting and contributing to the time management of all stakeholders involved in taking out insurance. We need to consider the measure between practice and depth, finding the perfect translation, considering the culture of our organization, short and medium term situations, scenarios, actions and treatment options of risks. Here I include the partial transfer to insurance, to help the issue be addressed and digested in the organization in a friendly and efficient way, ensuring the prosperous and healthy continuity of the business. And you, what do you think?

European commission held an excellent event yesterday on cancer survivorship: advancing the right to be forgotten, which is part of the wide work around EU’s beating cancer plan. The event was well represented by all the main stakeholders bringing a holistic and balanced overview on the aspects around the topic. We in the Actuarial Association of Europe (AAE) have been actively supporting the right to be forgotten roundtable discussions this year bringing out not only the risk pricing related actuarial evidence but also wider angles that needs to be considered when drafting an EU Code of Conduct (CoC). We have emphasized that insurers need customer data for several purposes and this should not be understood as discrimination. But then a separate matter is whether some customer data can actually be used in pricing or not – from where we have already the EU gender neutral pricing example from 2012. In the AAE we have also brought out the need to link the CoC to the fact that insurers have to comply with a number of regulations that are connected to the topic, there are national specificities in both insurance and health practice that will have an impact and needs to be taken into account properly and that the result should not disturb the insurance offering which is providing a lot cover for people suffering from cancer. These all are something that needs to be considered in order to ensure the needed improvements for cancer survivors. More details can be found from the attached document that has been widely discussed with many stakeholders and also published in www.actuary.eu                         It seems that the discussions are still continuing but also that all stakeholders are seriously trying to reach for a solution. We in the AAE are also committed to continue our support to this important development! #eucancerplan #AAE #RTBF

Innovation is one of the key trends we see in practically all business fields. So progress is not bypassing claims management either 🚀🚚🚛 If you are dealing with the #logistics sector, I would say it is not only worthwhile but essential to be interested in them, whether you are a company manager or a driver. But it's not a problem if you aren't, because you're reading the right post 👋 I will share a few things that are of personal interest to me at the moment. And I will definitely update you in the future with any innovations that might be useful to you or your employees 🫡 🚀 So, one of the most exciting is a new project involving @DEKRA, a large company that is well known to most of those who work with transport claims. This organization has invested in an initiative to create a post-accident damage assessment from the digital data of a car. Why is this a big deal? 🎉 Because the new capability created would mean faster damage assessment without human intervention. As you know, nowadays an expert goes to inspect the vehicle, takes pictures, assesses the scale of the damage, and only then provides a report. Here's a link if you'd like to read more about this promising and actually kind of cool innovation 👉🔗 https://lnkd.in/dCR9DFmb 🚀 Regarding the situation in Lithuania, first, I would like to applaud the improvement of insurance companies' claims management processes 👏 This progress is evident with the introduction of an increasing number of automated solutions. For example, the same online registration of most claims. We already have companies that can offer this alternative to a phone call, as used to be the single option earlier 📞 🚀 Also, I would point out, particularly, the Gjensidige Lietuva insurance company. It's the only one on the national market that registers the claim and gives you the case number as soon as you click on the button to complete the registration. If you have experienced this, you will probably agree with me about how convenient this solution is 👌 And not just for insurance customers, but also for us who manage claims. 🚀 It is also important to mention that today in Lithuania, certain insurance companies, such as ERGO Group AG or the same Gjensidige, can actually offer a process in which the customer can calculate the damage caused to his or her car himself. What's next in the innovation landscape in claims management or insurance? 🤔 These sectors will face a shrinking workforce 🧑‍💼👩‍💼📉 There are already much fewer staff in call centres, precisely because of the above-mentioned option to register claims online. The point is that technological solutions have confidently stepped into the insurance field and there is still a lot of room for their development and for increasing the efficiency of the industry 🚀🔜 #ClaimsExpert #InsuranceClaims #TransportationClaims #TransportationIndustry #Logistics

Did you know that our international Corporate Insurance Business is one of UNIQA Insurance Group's biggest success stories? No one would have guessed this when we first started it as a small startup in 2011, with a premium of €100 million. In 2023, the volume increased to over €1 billion in written premiums, realizing an enormous growth rate with the factor 10. Congratulations to the entire team around Olivera Boehm-Rybak, who started this from scratch and grew it to “unicorn” status! We are ready to take the next step to grow the business even further and become the #1 corporate insurer in our markets. With our new B2B strategy, we are moving from being an insurance partner to offering #360-degree services to our clients, increasingly focusing on #ESG and #riskmanagement. In 2024, we will continue to focus on diversifying our portfolio, exploring new opportunities and offering tailor-made services. We see enormous growth potential, especially in the #CEE region, and are determined to remain a pioneer in the market. Our international clients will benefit from our bundled expertise over all the markets with our Corporate hub at UNIQA Polska, which we are implementing to offer a one-stop-solution for Corporations active across borders in various markets. So, surpassing the €1 billion GWP milestone is not just a number – it is a testament of the trust our clients put in us as their Corporate insurer, it is proof that we have the right team and mindset in our company, and it also stands for the challenge to bring it to the next level without being complacent. Our #transformation is never finished and we are eager to lead the way of risk management & growth for our corporate clients as their trusted partner for the next decade and onwards. #UNIQA #growingbettertogether
