Choose the right perspective
Match the person's line of business to yours, since life, property and casualty, health and specialty insurers buy differently and answer to different regulators. For outsourcing and third-party risk questions, favor people whose listed roles combine procurement with supplier management; for cost programs, favor those whose titles include expense or corporate services scope.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you structure procurement at an insurer so technology, claims suppliers and corporate services each get the right level of oversight?
- 02How do you meet regulators' outsourcing and third-party risk requirements without slowing down purchasing?
- 03Which savings or expense programs worked best for you, and how did you get business leaders to support them?
