Transforming Insurance

The insurance industry is undergoing profound change. In an increasingly complex and dynamic environment, new approaches and skills are needed to remain competitive and shape the future of the industry. Well-trained, motivated and innovative people make the difference.

The University of Cologne Business School and InsurLab Germany have jointly designed a unique seminar to strengthen the future competencies of insurance companies and their high-potential employees.

Please note: the seminar is taught in German.

Transforming Insurance (TI) is a seminar within the framework of the InsurLab Academy and is explicitly aimed at high potentials in the insurance industry, who want to actively accompany and manage the digital transformation in their company. TI participants benefit from a well-coordinated and balanced teaching approach. The latest state of the art in transformational competencies in the insurance industry is taught. In addition, required practical execution skills are trained. The purpose of continuing education is to gain an empowerment for direct influence on transformation processes in one's own company. The participants will be able to effectively accompany the digital transformation and to pursue modern and data-based approaches. Through discussions and exercises around the two modules, they deepen their understanding. As the seminar is tailored to the needs of the insurance industry, they also gain access to a network of peers and experts with whom they can share knowledge and best practices.
