Establishment of rapid product development through an innovation lab in the insurance industry

Initial situation

  • A leading German insurance group wanted faster and more effective product development
  • The group was operating in a rapidly changing environment and could not afford to fall behind
  • Digitalization created opportunities to reach customers differently and better meet their needs
  • To ensure long-term growth, a structured method for developing new products needed to be introduced and internal expertise had to be built
