Report Summary
Title: The Service-Based Business - Insurance
Author: Richard Veryard
Publication Date: 7 October 2003
Report Type: Journal
Report Class: Best Practice
Abstract: The vision of the Service-Based Business is further advanced in Insurance than in many other sectors, for a number of reasons. In this article, we explore the state-of-the-art in Insurance, and discuss how some of the achievements of this sector may be more broadly applicable
Backgrounder: From the point of view of the service-based business, insurance is a particularly interesting form of service. Value is created by transferring risk from one party to another; risk is transformed by being aggregated or distributed. Thus the value creation is intrinsic to the service itself, and depends in a curious way on the very granularity and distribution of the service. Furthermore, insurance is an information-intensive business, which makes it especially amenable to the electronic service-based business.
