Innovation and Technology Reshaping the Future of Financial Services and Insurance Industry in Asia

Windsor, Conn., April 20, 2017 – A 2016 LIMRA study found that the internet is becoming a more valuable source of information than financial professionals, when researching insurance (life, disability, long-term care) and annuity products. Embracing this disruption is just one strategy operational executives will be focused on at the 2017 LIMRA LOMA Operational Strategies Conference.

“Success in the Asian market will be dependent upon whether or not financial services companies are staying connected in the rapidly evolving digital age,” said Ian Watts, senior vice president and managing director, LIMRA and LOMA. “More than half of the world’s population is now online, and speakers at this conference will share insights into satisfying the changing expectations of today’s customers and employees, as well as help attendees prepare for the wave of technology flooding the industry.”

Speakers at the conference include:

Robin Speculand, international bestselling author on strategy implementation, who will explore eight critical areas of strategy implementation.
Karl Ricanek, co-founder, chief information officer and chief data scientist, Lapetus Solutions, Inc., who will discuss the emergence of unique technologies, including a demonstration of “selfie” underwriting.
Jeremy Blain, regional managing director, Cegos Asia Pacific, who will use live polling and recent organizational change research to demonstrate what disruption looks like and what it means to the future of your workplace.
A panel of executives, discussing key components of a successful talent management strategy, and the role that human resources plays in finding, attracting, and retaining top talent.

The LIMRA LOMA 2017 Operational Strategies Conference will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on May 22-23, 2017. It is designed for executives involved in back office operations at financial services and insurance companies in the Asia Pacific. The conference will help companies understand which technology and innovations will have the greatest impact on the industry.
