Global Insurance Forum Expert Series: Bridging the Protection Gap Through Innovation, A Conversation with Ken Mungan

Bridging The Protection Gap Through Innovation 

In this webinar, Insurance Thought Leadership Editor-in-Chief Paul Carroll interviews Ken Mungan, Chairman of Milliman, on how technology is making real inroads in the protection gap and is set to do far more.  

They discuss: 

  • How technology not only cuts costs and makes insurance more affordable but can help insurers and agents leverage personal relationships and reach the uninsured and underinsured 
  • How the consensus on risk management has been wrong – it doesn’t come AFTER a country develops a strong financial system; an understanding of risk management has to develop alongside the financial system 
  • How the developing world can, in some uses of technology, leapfrog the developed world
