Closing the Friction Gap: A Continuous Improvement Roadmap for Insurers
This white paper by PS Advisory discusses strategies to overcome operational inefficiencies in the insurance industry, enhancing profitability and customer satisfaction.
WHITE PAPER Insurers face a growing "friction gap"—operational inefficiencies that inflate costs, delay claims settlements, and undermine underwriting accuracy. These frictions directly impact the combined ratio (expense ratio + loss ratio), eroding profitability and competitiveness. This whitepaper outlines a continuous improvement framework to systematically identify and eliminate friction, driving sustainable gains in underwriting performance, claims efficiency, and customer satisfaction. © 2025 PS Advisory.
