expert, Dr. Stephen Timme, which is designed to help insurance companies

Regulation and consolidation make the insurance industry one of the most

challenging markets in which to compete. To remain competitive, providers

must offer consistent, first-class service and continually strive for

incremental improvements in employee productivity. This webinar will cover

technology and innovation in business models which are two keys to success

in this high pressure environment.

Other topics to be covered in this compelling event include:

--  Competitive and financial gap analysis walk-through to identify

    opportunities for incremental improvements that can have a direct impact on

    increasing ROI

--  Supporting improved business processes for claims management,

    insurance quoting, and underwriting

--  Benefits of portal technologies to improve information sharing,

    workflow, and productivity

    

“Throughout my career, I have helped companies understand how to harness

the power of innovation and translate process improvements into bottom line

results,” stated Dr. Timme. “Companies need to know how to quantify and

communicate the impact of the process improvements they make. For those in

the insurance industry, there has never been a more important time to

leverage technology to help drive that change.”

Dr. Timme is president of FinListics Solutions, a global consulting firm

that helps organizations directly link the financial impact of business

process change with specific financial metrics. Dr. Timme has taught over

20,000 executives to speak the language of finance, teaming with groups

like CFO, BusinessWeek and Forbes to deliver short courses, seminars and

webinars around the world. He has also authored numerous articles in trade

publications and recently authored the chapter “Financial Management,” in
