Insurance supply chain

The pension- and insurance industry has been under tremendous pressure to change for some time now. A decline in customer confidence, increasing regulatory requirements, low margins, inefficient infrastructures, limited commercial agility, shifts in the value chain: these are only a few examples of the forces the insurance industry is currently experiencing. Forces that intertwine and sometimes contradict, making changes even more complex.

But change should not only be seen as a necessary reaction to threats. Change can also create opportunities. Opportunities to innovate, to look for new operating models, to define and claim a new position in the market. In our view, these opportunities can only be seized with a combination of business knowledge and excellent change management skills. This requires a sparring partner with industry experience and above all with the power to execute.

Double Effect has industry experience and business knowledge in many fields. From distribution, sales and marketing, to claims, policy administration and underwriting. Across many business lines, like Life, Property & Casualty, and Pensions. Our projects typically involve substantiating and implementing strategic plans. Next to an advisory role, Double Effect usually assumes the role of program- or project management in large organisation- or process changes, (system) migrations and innovation projects. We are not just another project manager. We combine business knowledge on products, processes and the Insurance value chain with organisational sensitivity and power to execute. Skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in complex environments like Insurance companies and pension funds.
