2 Programme Overview It s about claims strategy...not technical processing This conference will get away from the day-to-day elements of claims processing and focus squarely on the strategic value claims can bring to an organisation and its customers. Having effective and robust claims processes that deliver customer service has always been critical to the industry...but the claims function now needs to deliver more to its stakeholders. Leading organisations are thinking more strategically about the way claims can add value to the business, how other industries approach similar challenges and what capabilities claims will need in order to succeed in a rapidly changing insurance environment. This one day conference will focus on: u The long term strategic value claims can deliver and the challenges directors will have to overcome u The needs of the business and how claims can support and drive those strategic objectives u How claims can become a source of real competitive advantage u Different approaches to customer service, supply chain management and the role of technology u Benchmarking, interaction and the sharing of insights with your peers (no supplier presentations!) Our interactive format will allow you to benchmark your claims strategy and share experiences with your peers. No press, no transcripts, no reports just open discussion and knowledge sharing between peers Registration and refreshments Welcome by the chair Graham Newman Head of Claims FINEOS Keynote Presentation Transforming claims from back office administration to strategic partner Leveraging the strategic value of claims for the business What does good look like and how should claims deliver value to the business?
