Description: As actuaries, we're trained to see patterns in numbers and to design solutions that mitigate risk. While quantitative analysis and modeling are critical actuarial tools, looking at the numbers alone can lead to insurance products that don't succeed in the real world the way math says they should. With new digital technologies surfacing in the insurance space, we have more data at our fingertips than ever before, leading to a higher focus on doing quantitative research within insurance product design. Take back a step from quantitative research and discover qualitative research methodologies into your product development process to design solutions that meet real needs in the market. In a nutshell, qualitative research can surface issues early and help you answer questions such as: Can we really sell this product in the market? Why would someone buy this? How widespread is the need? How could your product be a solution you didn't intend?
