Insurance’s Flawed Business Model

At its core, the industry is plagued by an inherent conflict of interest. Our customers don’t have an industry expert advocating solely on their behalf; the experts have financial incentives coming from the insurance industry. As I say kiddingly, the first page of your insurance policy tells you, “We cover you for everything.” It’s the next 40 pages that take all that coverage away. I firmly believe that there is strong opportunity to shift the traditional brokerage model away from one that is purely transactional and toward the strategic advisory role that companies around the world need, one that is built on trust.
