Description: While it is now almost universally accepted that data can bring value to the insurance industry, there is little guidance on exactly how to make that value tangible.

This session will define what a data strategy is, discuss the main components, describe how to get started creating one, and will outline how to translate a strategy into execution.

Description: PartnerRe Life and Health is rapidly growing its presence in global markets. This growth means that our medical underwriting team has to handle 25 percent more cases every year. To manage these additional cases without increasing headcount at the same pace, the team has to operate more and more efficiently. In a market where response time is a key differentiator, we improve efficiency by using machine learning to triage and prioritize the underwriting team's case work. In this talk, we describe the model pipeline end to end. That is, we cover the entire implementation chain from accessing data to the eventual evaluation of the added value. In particular, we discuss often neglected topics such as model risk mitigation, technical deployment of the model and integration into business processes.

Description: There is a lot of focus on GTI and its impact on modeling, methodology and transition.

This session will focus on the specific impacts and possible solutions to the following data processes: In force data Experience studies and assumption setting post model data feeds and subledger processes Data warehouse and reporting systems
