1. IoT Insurance Observatory
Initiative presentation

2. 2
The Observatory mission is to promote a profitable IoT adoption
Insurance IoT Observatory is a seven-year-
old think tank specialized on the insurance
IoT with the participation of top executives
from the most relevant Insurers, Reinsurers,
and Tech players in the IoT insurance arena
The Observatory is about connecting people
and ideas in order to spread the innovation
culture throughout the insurance market
with three concrete outcomes:
• A global multiclient research on the
insurance IoT paradigm
• One-to-one workshops to each member
• Plenary symposiums with all the
members
Some international insurance best practices
have successfully integrated IoT in their
insurance value chain and achieved
positive ROIs. These insurer’s business
transformation journeys show how strategy
matters more than size
The Observatory speaks the insurance business
units’ language but has the innovation units’ soul

The think tank membership provides access to the most globally
relevant insurance IoT knowledge
The knowledge is delivered through workshops dedicated
one-to-one to each of the organizations, which are members
of the Observatory and plenary symposiums both in North
America and Europe

Interpreter
The most pragmatic multiclient research specialized in the
insurance IoT domain based on a constant observation of
the usage of sensors in different insurance business lines
around the globe
We interpret best practices and pitfalls for the members
leveraging experience built on advising hundreds of
organizations in almost 20 different international countries
on IoT insurance projects

• Deep dive on leadership capabilities (international success
stories, pitfalls):
‒ Vision and strategy
‒ Usage of IoT as enabler for business performances
‒ Engagement
‒ Governance
‒ Continuous innovation
• Key aspects for execution:
‒ Go to market and partnership
‒ People, skills, and processes

Telematics usage on commercial auto is at infancy

• First pilots focused on
one single use case
• Roll out by few
pioneers (with some
volumes)
• More pilots and
product lunches, by
greatest part of players
by using a "me-too"
approach
• Only few top players
understand IoT full
potential (UW, claims,
VAS), define their
own approach (e.g.
big data) and push to
sell more
• Commercial offer

• IoT potential fully

Some quotes from the Observatory participants
It gives telematics and IoT an awesome platform for collaboration, teaching, and knowledge sharing
The initiative provided though-provoking contents. The deep dive sessions were clear and stimulated
great engagement within the organization
Our journey has been going ‘hand in hand’ with your support and the insightful conversations held
over those years at the IoT Insurance Observatory, including our joint papers
When you read a press release or hear a speech at conference, you see only the shining side. It is great to have
the rationalization that connects dots, and investigates also what has not worked well
We appreciate the insights, examples, and best practices you and the Observatory community bring
forward to help us shape our journey
A great support in rationalizing the different opportunities for using IoT data in our business and
defining a roadmap for our business transformation
Relevant opportunity to approach unique contents about connected insurance –
both from actuarial angle and customer angle - and to discuss them with Insurance
Executives, Associations and the Regulator
The Observatory is creating value for us. We met insurers that have started to
work with us. It is also useful to have a constant update on the markets around
the world
Rich information as well as thought provoking analysis and perspective. An
unbiased platform that focuses on truly learning and embracing IoT. His ability to
bring others together and to share thoughts and experiences is extremely valuable
