AOA Seminar 2018, Hong Kong

Hong Kong Flag 

It is with great pleasure that the Asia and Oceania Association of the ICMIF (AOA) invites its members to the AOA Seminar 2018 in Hong Kong. This is for executives, managers, and staff members of AOA member organizations.
This seminar has been held once every two years to develop cooperative and mutual insurers in the Asia and Oceania region. The theme of this year is “Impact of digital innovation on the strategies of our sector”. The influence that revolutionary evolution of digital technologies such as AI, IoT, and blockchain on each business aspect of the cooperative and mutual insurance sector cannot be ignored whether it’s good or bad. Under these circumstances, we, cooperative and mutual insurance organizations, will need to ask ourselves the questions as to how we can incorporate the digital innovation into business, utilize it for the sake of members and customers, and what kind of points we should pay attention to in the process of utilizing it. In this seminar, we will examine these issues from various perspectives through commentaries on global trends by experts, introduction of advanced initiatives by AOA members, and panel discussions.

This will include discussion of the operating system and on-board technology; route assessment, selection and preparations; and ongoing operational requirements, as part of the safety-first approach.
It will also reflect on community perceptions towards the technology and trial learnings to explore identified opportunities and considerations being explored through RAC’s broader AV (Automated Vehicles) program and ultimately, in preparing for a driverless future.

NTUC Income: Our Digital Transformation Journey

Digital transformation is about sweeping change. It changes everything about how products are designed, sold, delivered, and serviced. Many enterprises that fail to transform themselves will disappear. But as in evolution, many new and unanticipated enterprises will emerge, and existing ones will be transformed with new business models. Juliana shares NTUC Income’s journey in the pursuit of digital transformation.

JCIF’s sophistication of claims payment process and optimization of work flow by utilizing AI

The present claims payment process is actually a human-centered system depending on the skilled staff. However, in the forecast of the future, Japan will step into a super-aged society with declining population ahead of the whole world. Under such recognition, we will be required to build a business that enables us to maintain stable claims payment process in order to provide a peace of mind for our members continuously in the future. JCIF is promoting business reforms by utilizing IT technology including AI while conscious of compatibility with maintaining co-operative identity. Hiroki Ono introduces a case study of JCIF’s efforts.

Zenkyoren’s strategy on utilization of digital technology

The legacy systems we have used for a long time are recently deteriorating its maintainability, and it results in obstacles for us to make information system investments in the new areas. On the other hand, the automobile insurance is about to change drastically with the advent of advanced safety vehicles.
Under such circumstances, digital technologies, which we need to deploy, such as smartphone with high penetration rate, high-speed wireless communication, more accurate GPS, and evolution of AI are spreading drastically in Japan. We believe that utilizing such technologies is indispensable to keep members’ trust in us.
