New opportunities, new solutions and greater transparency.

Insurance

While traditional processes are being challenged, the pressures of competition and costs on insurance companies are growing. And yet great opportunities can be found in this major upheaval that’s exacerbated by extreme weather events and skills shortages. With high levels of investment in new digital processes and business models, the future of the insurance industry can already be clearly seen: a dynamic sector using mobile, flexible and personalised solutions that can help make people’s lives – if not entirely – carefree, definitely less risky.

Topics we know inside out: digital transformation, volatile capital markets, supervision, automation, cyber risks, product innovation, underwriting, individualisation, prevention, claims/benefit costs, longevity.

“The time for business as usual, stabilisation and consolidation is over. In the future, courage, drive, creativity and stability will only be found in the constant, intelligent management of change. Which is why we’re dealing with new requirements and priorities when it comes to human skills.”

— Christian Schüssler

HR consulting with an insurance edge – it’s in our DNA.

What had typically been a comparatively secure field of business with a strict regulatory framework is increasingly becoming an agile business that requires equally adaptable managers. We’re already looking back on six decades of successful work in this field; our founder came from the insurance sector and there’s no doubt that insurance is part of ifp’s DNA. Can you imagine a more compelling argument?
