2 The Compelling Need to Go Lean The Message is compelling and growing louder. Listen. Just Listen. To every business news cast. With every passing day. With every quarterly earnings report. Listen to every customer. To every current customer. To every targeted customer. To every lost customer. The message is growing louder. It is becoming ever increasingly defiant. Get ready to get much better. Better than before. Better than now. Better than the best competition. Get better faster. There is no slack time. There is no room for waste. Every step in every process. Every position in every function. Every piece of work. Every input and every output. Every product. Every decision. Must add unquestionable value. Rapidly. With unrelenting quality. And in just the right quantity. Without delay. With less resources. Achieving far greater returns on investments. Returns that were previously unimaginable. While consistently delivering a thoroughly delightful customer experience. Enabled through powerful tools and techniques. And enacted by highly skilled, flexible, motivated individuals. Focused individuals. Individuals with a passion for the business. Individuals with a sense of urgency. With far broader and deeper skills than before. Working collaboratively within accountable teams. Teams that are tenaciously executing and continually self improving. Teams seamlessly linked and integrated through robust and resilient value creating processes. All evidenced through powerful analytics. The emergence and application of Lean Six Sigma within the Insurance Industry the stakes could not be higher. It is no wonder that against the backdrop of a business and economic environment that is now and will be forever demanding that organizations produce far more with far less - that insurance organizations are increasingly reaching for and applying Lean Six Sigma. Lean Six Sigma is a management framework that combines the power of lean manufacturing disciplines with the process precision and quality of Six Sigma. It blends and leverages the two methodologies into one integrated approach that optimizes the quality and speed of doing business while removing costs from the business. The immediate benefits of Lean Six Sigma are dramatic. Waste in all its forms is identified and purged from the enterprise, core processes and business practices. Lead times are compressed. Productivity increases in a quantum fashion. Cash flow is accelerated. Wait times are mitigated as process cycle velocities accelerate and flow time efficiencies rapidly increase. Defects and rework are prevented. Customer satisfaction and profitability improve as the business expands. Perhaps most importantly, Lean Six Sigma frees insurance knowledge workers, such as underwriters and claims adjusters, to focus on the work that creates the greatest value they contribute far more by doing far more of what they were hired to do.

3 Closing the Lean Six Sigma Talent Gap in the Insurance Industry Its benefits may be prodigious, but Lean Six Sigma also presents a particular challenge to the insurance industry. The demand for experienced insurance professionals and leaders who are recognized Lean Six Sigma practitioners is far outstripping the supply of qualified talent. The 2015 Insurance Industry Summit Designing and Building the Lean Insurance Organization is based on the overwhelming demand for a Lean Six Sigma development and certification program that is both rigorous as well as practical in its focus on insurance. Organized around the constructs and phases of a Lean Six Sigma insurance initiative, this seminar is designed to provide attendees the knowledge, skills, insights and a powerful toolkit that can be immediately applied to the significant benefit of their firms. The 2015 Insurance Industry Summit is quite unique in that it will provide participants a powerful development experience and the opportunity to secure the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt designation in an effective and efficient fashion. The 2015 Insurance Industry Summit and Black Belt Designation Process: Designing and Building the Lean Insurance Organization is a structured learning experience it is a highly interactive, content rich, development and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt designation process that attendees and their sponsoring firms will find uniquely invaluable. The 2015 Insurance Industry Summit and Black Belt Designation Program involves four steps: Step 1 Application and Registration: Complete and submit a 2015 Insurance Industry Summit Application and Registration Form as contained within this brochure, or contact the Institute directly at CIOP to register by phone. Step 2 Pre Insurance Industry Summit and Six Sigma Black Belt Preparations: A few weeks before the 2015 Insurance Industry Summit you will be provided a preparation package containing Lean Six Sigma reading and subject matter material for your review prior to the class. Step 3 Attendance in the 2015 Insurance Industry Summit; Designing and Building the Lean Insurance Organization. Participate in a rigorous two and a half day conference and tutorial session that will cover all the key concepts, terminology, tools and techniques associated with the Lean Six Sigma framework supported by insurance case studies and examples. Step 4 Completion of the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Exam Project. At the conclusion of the two and a half day industry Summit you will be provided a take-away exercise. The assignment takes the form of a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Exam Project that consists of two types of questions. Review questions enable you to reinforce key terms and definitions associated with the Lean Six Sigma body of knowledge covered in class. There are also application questions that you will select from as an opportunity to practice using specific Lean Six Sigma concepts and tools. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Exam Project is designed to be addressed with approximately twenty hours of work that you will have one hundred and twenty days, post conference, to complete. This enables Lean Six Sigma Black Belt candidates to budget & integrate their Exam Project time within their standard work schedule.

4 A Powerful Blend of Robust Content and Practical Insurance Case Studies The summit content is particularly compelling and presented along two dimensions tutorials and case studies. Lean Six Sigma concepts, tools and techniques are comprehensively covered through dynamic tutorial presentations. The tutorial content is then brought to life through actual insurance industry case studies and examples. Knowledge and understanding are quickly conveyed resulting in a set of insights and a powerful toolkit which attendees can immediately apply to the benefit of their organizations. Given the amount of information that is presented the teaching approach is very rigorous, interactive and intense. The Summit instructors are insurance industry Lean Six Sigma practitioners who excel at simplifying complex concepts and demonstrating practical applications within an insurance context.
