Here's what I've learned about company rankings If you made the ranking, you love it and think it's great If you're not on it, you think it's not credible and flawed Most rankings are pay-to-play or based on a single simple metric or done manually by folks over beer & pizza, and so I tend to agree that they're not very credible Not ours CB Insights ranked the 50 largest insurers to see who is innovating and embracing AI fastest/best The winners: 1. Cigna Healthcare 2. Travelers 3. Munich Re We analyzed & mined a buttload (technical term) of data from the CB Insights platform including: * commercial transactions (licensing, vendor, customer, partnerships) * patents * earnings transcripts * investments * acquisitions Go here to see the rankings ⤵ Then DM me to yell at me if you don't like where your org is ranked :) https://lnkd.in/eG3WbbAU
