iTslSC, the Insurance, Technology and
Services cluster of the Midlands, launched the inaugural Leadership Insurance
course on April 15th at BlueCross BlueShield. Leadership Insurance is
an 8-part course designed to provide a forum for the rising stars of the
local industry to connect, collaborate, learn and grow. It is the only known program of its kind in
the country within the insurance tech industry.
Participants in the program will
learn about all aspects of insurance - including ethics, marketing,
underwriting, claims, and more - and also gain a deeper understanding of the
technology employed by the industry. In addition to networking with other
participants and gaining industry knowledge, the participants will be working
on a project for the duration of the course.
The first session included a
leadership exercise facilitated by Karen Hill. Then Terry Povey from BlueCross
BlueShield spoke on “Insurance – The Big Picture,” gave an overview of the
Blues system and introduced the group project centered on health and wellness. The
participants were split into two groups and have been asked to develop a
technical application, tool, program or event centered on health and wellness.
The inaugural class of Leadership
Insurance includes participants from Companion Life, Aetna, PHT Services Ltd.,
Seibels, and Colonial Life. Their job roles include underwriting, enrollment,
analytics, finance, senior management and others.
The Midlands has a wealth
of opportunities within the insurance technology and services industry,
with over 100 years of history, innovation and growth in the area. iTslSC seeks
to further the industry's opportunities in the Midlands.
The next session is “Sales and Marketing” at Interactive Intelligence on June 18th. For more information on iTs|SC and Leadership Insurance, click here or contact Kristin
