address complex coverage issues and achieve timely
submission of bids & tenders

Delivering the Goods

 How are brokers and underwriters delivering the


goods?

19 www.teekay.com
Delivering the Goods – What is Right?

 Focus on transparency in relation to broker remuneration


driven by legislation & enforcement
 Analysis of financial strength has become more
formalized
 Systems have come a long way in recent years
 Faster issuance of documentation
 More use of web-based technology
 Progress toward contract certainty
 Trend toward strengthening relationships
between assureds & underwriters rather
than a focus on keeping them apart!

20 www.teekay.com
Delivering the Goods – What is Wrong?

 Weakness of back-office functions


 Trend toward under-resourcing and offshore outsourcing
 Wording technicians/experts are thin on the ground

 Strong traditional “tea party gossip” approach to doing business


 Some call it “tradition”
 Market rivalries sometimes get in the way of the assured’s interests
 Vastly different stories make it difficult to find out what’s really going on

 Systems are not being adequately utilized to optimize service providers’ time
to add value to the account

 Market instability (thankfully this is uncommon)


 Isolated incidents of attempts to introduce new last-minute exclusions &
warranties

 Tendency of some to control rather than help facilitate the relationship


between assured & underwriter

 Staff turnover – seems to be a cyclical shuffle

21 www.teekay.com
Suggestions for Improvement

 Ensure the organisation is working to a standard of


absolute integrity

 Encourage and facilitate transparency in all aspects of


relationships with clients

 Examine whether the focus is fully on the interests of the


client. Even if it all appears to be in order, it’s not a bad
exercise.

 While obtaining new business is crucial, focus on


preserving existing client service levels

22 www.teekay.com
Suggestions for Improvement

 Ensure back-office functions such as


documentation, invoicing etc. are given adequate
profile & resources in the company. When this
goes wrong it can be a major source of
frustration for clients.

 Fully utilize systems to free up people to do


client facing, value-adding work

 Ensure there is a focus on employee retention to


build expertise & minimize disruption to clients
