Pitfalls & Controls

In the insurance buying process, we have witnessed how organizations may have less effectively or even compromised the insurance procurement process, including:

  • Allowing their current Broker & Insurance Carriers to “auto-renew” their insurance coverages for the renewal insurance term with little-to-no oversight or input

  • Not appropriately reflecting on Insured business changes (changes in personnel, revenues, operations, etc.) to be reflected in renews insurance coverages

  • Engaging Brokers or obtaining proposals at the wrong time

  • Not engaging the appropriate Brokers or Carriers for the risk, or lacking knowledge as to which have the right expertise

  • Providing insufficient data or too much data

  • Not controlling or assigning Broker permissions & access to the insurance carriers

  • Not providing a timelines for major milestone activities such as data collection, loss control visits, proposal and quote delivery, etc.

  • Not controlling or understanding how Brokers/Agents can unintentionally dilute or affect an organization’s reputation as a buyer

  • Lacking the ability to gauge the quality and price-point of their insurance program, in relation to the quality of provided insurance coverages, terms & conditions

We can likely manage these pitfalls, in working with you through every step of the process to safeguard your company and protect its interests.
