TRACK:

CORPORATE INNOVATION

Tuesday, November 8

The Corporate Innovation conference track is a learning space where corporate innovators and intrapreneurs can meet, exchange experiences, co-create and refine approaches and methodologies for innovating and creating a culture of entrepreneurship within the organisation.

Digital Transformation is a key theme that every organisation faces as technology continues to change how we work. Every company requires modernisation of their technologies, processes, strategy and culture. This year the Corporate Innovation track is for leaders at the forefront of change and driving their companies into the future.

From a business demand to a critical technology innovation that saves big money

We tried, and we failed... But as they say: Failure was not an option.

Initially we were tasked to do a chatbot that answers questions such as "I am covered if I break my car driving into a tree on the side of the road?".

Our initial problem statement and business demand pointed us to the biggest problem in insurance……

We solved the issue, created a new technology on the way, and now we can automate the entire insurance value chain.

This is the story of how we did it and along the way, Sam will point to a few parts of the process, that you can use in your innovation activities.
