Companies employ staff in different roles, which means they have different areas of responsibility. These employees often possess above-average specialist knowledge in a subject area or special skills. But this knowledge is often – consciously or unconsciously – not shared. This creates an environment in which the conditions do not promote the growth of knowledge and prevent it from being used in a targeted way to advance the company and to offer real added value to (potential) customers. How can a company promote knowledge sharing through a community of practice and benefit (potential) customers and interested parties? I will explain how in this blog post using the example of the community of practice for the topic of company pension schemes.

In my previous blog posts in this series, I described what the persona of a new customer might look like in five to ten years.

I will explain exactly what these are in my blog post.

Over time, reinsurers have built up considerable methods for identifying, assessing and reducing or even avoiding risks. Many of these methods could help us in our day-to-day lives in the pandemic as a supplement to the RKI’s recommendations. I will explain how the whole thing looks in concrete terms in my blog post.

Insurance providers are no strangers to investing in IT, with more and more being spent every year. This is a good thing since the lack of urgency when it comes to digitalisation in recent years is now beginning to come back to haunt companies. Processes are being actively rebuilt, modernised and the application landscape is even being completely renewed in some cases. This applies first and foremost to insurance sales application processes, which I would like to introduce to you in this blog post.

Mastering variant configuration requires teamwork between designers, software developers and IT specialists. How can this work successfully? Ideally, integrated systems are modular and consist of authoring systems and modelling tools, configurators and frameworks, frontend and backend, workflow engines and integration modules.
