How Insurers Can Overcome Innovation Barriers

The insurance industry faces mounting pressure to innovate, yet many companies struggle with outdated systems, tight budgets, and complex regulations.

According to Deloitte's recent State of Innovation in the Insurance Industry report, legacy infrastructure remains one of the most significant barriers to transformation, limiting insurers' agility and technological adoption. Without modernising core systems, staying competitive becomes increasingly challenging.

Regulations add another layer of complexity. Compliance demands can slow down innovation, creating a cautious environment where new ideas are often sidelined. However, addressing these barriers isn’t impossible. Transitioning to cloud-based systems and adopting flexible technologies can set the stage for growth. 

Collaboration with InsurTechs also brings fresh perspectives. Many traditional insurers in the ANZ region have successfully revamped their operations by partnering with tech-focused startups. These collaborations enhance efficiency and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
