Building the foundations for scalable MGA growth
Creating the operating, data and technology capabilities needed to support growth without adding complexity
Bob Bob Ricard, Leadenhall
Free to attend | Only 15 places
Overview
As MGAs grow, the operating model that worked when the business was smaller can quickly come under pressure. Submission volumes increase, underwriting teams expand, products become more complex and capacity providers expect greater visibility and control.
Processes that once worked through spreadsheets, manual intervention or disconnected systems can begin to create friction. Skilled people spend more time finding and reconciling information, management visibility becomes harder and operational costs can increase faster than premium growth.
The challenge is how to maintain the speed and agility that drives MGA growth while putting in place the processes, data and technology needed to scale without creating unnecessary cost or complexity.
Attend this breakfast briefing to explore how you approach this challenge successfully. The discussion will look at where processes begin to come under pressure as businesses scale, how to maintain underwriting discipline and visibility as volumes increase and how you make technology decisions today that will support rather than constrain future growth.
You will hear practical experiences from MGA leaders, benchmark your approach with peers and explore how organisations are balancing immediate business priorities with the need to prepare for future growth.
Getting this right will improve underwriting discipline, operational efficiency and management visibility while creating greater scope for automation and AI over time.
Topics for discussion include:
- Identifying where growth is creating operational friction and complexity
- Scaling underwriting operations without increasing cost at the same rate as premium
- Improving data quality and visibility over portfolio performance
- Making technology decisions that support future growth without creating unnecessary constraints
- Identifying where automation and AI can create value as the business develops
