LIMRA’s strategic and developmental research identifies opportunities for new research that will give LIMRA a leading presence in the industry. Whether focused on distribution, markets, future trends, information management, or organizational issues, strategic research is intended to stimulate thought and facilitate management decision making. Developmental research spots emerging issues and conducts early research on them so information is available when they become mainstream issues.

Emerging Issues Study Group

The study group is a forum to raise issues of possible future significance and vet the ideas through discussion. It also allows individuals involved in strategic planning to network with their peers in other companies. If you are involved in strategic planning and wish to participate, contact us at jmitchel@limra.com.
