Initial situation

  • A leading German insurance group aimed for faster and more effective product development
  • The Group found itself in a rapidly changing environment and could not afford to be a latecomer
  • Digitalization has also created opportunities to reach customers differently and better meet their needs
  • To ensure long-term growth, a structured method for developing new products should be introduced and internal expertise built up
