FintechFlow podcast

If one thing became clear in 2020, it is that at the end of the day there is nothing more importante than the life and health of you and your loved ones. In this episode of FintechFlow we will take a deeper look into how technology can help us achieving that goal. We will get to know two companies that are working on making the leading medical expertise available for the widest possible audience. I will talk to them about how technology changes healthcare and healt insurances and how customers can benefit from it. It is a special episode for me as one of my guests is a long-known business partner. We - together with our colleageues - created the insurance product that I consider my most important product in my own insurance portfolio (even today). He is Frank Ahedo, CEO of Further which is a global leader in the design and development of cross-border insurance solutions for serious illnesses.  My other guest is Greg Jarzabek, CEO of Trustedoctor, the award-winning digital healthcare platform specialising in access to world-leading international medical expertise.  https://www.wegofurther.com/ https://trustedoctor.com/

In 2020 Covid-19 fundamentally reshaped our world and our lives. Where we work, how we shop, what we wear, how we celebrate, how we greet each other, how much lipstick we use, where we do/do not go on holiday, how and if we go to conferences. Basically it really has impacted everything from micro to macro. Not just every person but every industry also have to face a different future. In this episode we will look into the most important post-covid trends that will reshape the insurance industry. I am honoured to have a returning guest, Roger Peverelli. Roger is a sought-after speaker, a best-selling author, an expert in digital innovation and customer engagement strategies.

This is the 33rd episode of FintechFlow where we dive deep into artificial intelligence. AI is one of the most used buzzwords these days, and now we will look deeper into it to see how an insurance company could really utilize it. I have two guests representing two very different AI driven insurtech startups today. Both are trying to tackle a concrete business case on the insurace value chain and to prove that their AI solution is a complete game changer. One of the startups, Tractable develops artificial intelligence for accident & disaster recovery. Their AI looks at photos of damage and predicts repair costs.12 of the top 40 motor insurance companies worldwide are amongst their clients and they have raised $55m in venture capital from world-leading VC funds. The other company is Zelros. Their mission is to enable insurance players to revolutionize and re-enchant their relationship with their customers by letting them take ownership of AI. This episode is brought to you by the Digital Insurance Agenda (DIA), the best run insurance related conference I have ever experienced.

Ez a FintechFlow podcast 32. epizódja, amelyben arra a kérdésre keressük a választ, hogy valóban a koronavírus vezeti a bankszektor digitális transzformációját? Eddig az látszik, hogy a pénzügyi szektor inkumbens szereplői, a bankok és a biztosítók elképesztő gyorsasággal zárkóztak fel a digitális létre, s a járvány első két hónapjában eddig megugorhatatlannak tűnő akadályokat döntöttek le, az eddig jellemzően csak fintech-ek által használt eszköztárak segítségével. A távmunkának köszönhetően az agilitás ha nem is szervezett formában, de ösztönösen megjelent a legnagyobb pénzintézeteknél is. De kitartha-e ez a lendület, és valóban komolyan megkezdődött most ennek a tradicionális iparágnak a digitális transzformációja? A mai epizódban erre a kérdésre keressük a választ. Ez az epizód egy különkiadás, hiszen a kerekasztal beszélgetés eredetileg a Startup Safari keretei között zajlott, és most ezt hallgathatjátok meg podcast formátumban is.

Ahhoz képest, hogy a bankszektor milyen hatalmas adatvagyonon ül, erősen a Big Tech cégek mögött kullog, és még csak most kezdi felfedezni az AI-ban rejlő potenciált. De melyek azok a területek a pénzügyi szektorban, ahol a leginkább hasítanak az AI-alapú felforgató use-case-ek, és hogyan alakulnak át ennek hatására a terepviszonyok? Hetényi Márkkal, aki a Mesterséges Intelligencia Koalíció elnökségi és az MKB Bank igazgatósági tagja, robotizált banki tanácsadásról, valamint a tömeges testre szabás és a conversational banking korszakáról beszélgettünk. https://anchor.fm/ai-coalition https://open.spotify.com/show/2rFgRDbP9YCGYpeTntV5Pf

  According to KPMG's report on The future of HR, 4 in 10 HR leaders state that workplace culture remains a top barrier to digital transformation and 70% of HR executives recognizes the need for workforce transformation.   If we look into the financial scene, this need of cultural change could be considered inevitable in order to compete with fintechs and bigtechs. The task-oriented work culture should be turned into a more innovative and experimental workforce.     This is the 24th episode of FintechFlow and today we will discuss the HR angle of collaborating with start-ups. We will try and  discover how HR could help to make these collaborations successful and what are the additional benefits these could bring to a big financial institution and to a startup.  For this episode I partnered up with Nestholma , an international organization that helps startups and large corporations to work and build businesses together. They have organized more than 25 collaboration programs so far in 10 countries.   I have two amazing guests for todays topic. Virpi Jalonen is here with us who is Renewal Strategist of Nestholma, coach and entrepreneur with background in various HR and development roles both in big corporations and startups. We also have Rudolf Vogl with us, who is former head of corporate HR at Raiffeisenbank International, now independent HR advisor for connecting business and people.   https://nestholma.com/   http://fintechflow.com/ e-mail: fintechflow@gmail.com  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FintechFlow-653632598372221/  Twitter https://twitter.com/FintechFlow  LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechflow/about/  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fintechflow/ 

The insurance sector is facing similar challenges as the banking sector. Insurtech companies  are ready to enter the insurance market and use technology to disrupt it. The big techs are also knocking on the door of this multi-trillion dollar industry. That makes insurance companies opened to the idea of open innovation, embracing the outside in method. In this episode of FintechFlow we will look into an interesting model of open innovation on the insurance field.    My guest today is Krisztián Kurtisz, CEO of Uniqa Hungary, who strongly believes that insurance could be made much better. The startup that was born for this task is CHERRISK, the insurance platform of the future. Krisztián is also CEO of CHERRISK. Krisztián, welcome to FintechFlow!  And thank You for listening! If you enjoyed this topic, please subscribe so that you do not miss another episode.   Next time we will again talk about open innovation, but from human resource point of view.

Not one day passes by  in the financial industry without hearing/reading or talking about design. It has become a trendy buzzword, but in reality it is much more. McKinsey released an in-depth report in October 2018 on the business value of design.    This research revealed striking findings. They found a strong correlation between better design and superior business performance. The companies who were in top-quartile with their design increased their revenues and total returns to shareholders substantially faster than their peers over a five-year period.    It seems like design have its affect regardless on the industry, as the previously mentioned findings were true in all three of the industries they looked at: medical technology, consumer goods, and retail banking.    So we can say, that besides being a trendy buzzword, the potential for design-driven growth is enormous in both product- and service-based sectors.    Today we will take a deeper look at design. We will discuss the value of design, how it could be created successfully, how can we measure it and what impact will it have.    I have an awesome guest to discuss design with, as Iván Muck is by my side, who is co-founder and responsible for business development at Family Finances.    Family Finances is a fintech startup offering design-driven mobile banking solutions for financial institutions with a special focus on younger customers, including off-the-shelf solutions that are all easy to integrate and white-label as well as an end-to-end service from UX research, through UX/UI design to implementation.   https://familyfinances.hu/en/landing  #design #designthinking #designmetodologies #UX #UI #familyfinances #fitnech #youthbanking #fintechflow #followtheflow #podcast #sg #sgalle 

  The insurance sector is facing similar challenges as the banking sector. While fintech companies are here to bring changes in  banking and in our everyday lives, insurtechs are ready to enter the insurance market and use technology to disrupt it. These tech savvy players are developing innovative products, which they deliver digitally and in a fraction of the time.   While a couple years ago insurtechs and incumbent insurance companies were considered competitors, and the question was who would win the race, today collaboration seems to be the key word.    In this episode of FintechFlow we will discuss what is the reasoning behind seeking this collaboration between insurers and insurtechs. We will also discover how a traditional big financial institution as an insurance company carryying all its legacy can work successfully together with the small, tech-savvy design thinking startups?   Today I have an awesome guest to discuss all this, he is Nick Suhr, co-founder and CEO of Kasko.   Kasko is an insurtech as a service company who desings, distributes and runs digital insurance products for any distribution channel. They enable big insurance companies to create value proposition to their customers in a matter of weeks at a fraction of the costs, or as they put it: "they enable oil tankers to move like speed boats." Not only their work but their list of awards also show that they are really here to make an impact. Just to mention one: Kasko was selected as best outsourced partner of    2017 at Digital Post's Digital and insurtech Awards. So I am sure Nick is the best person to help me get around how a cooperation between insurers and insurtechs can be successful.    https://www.kasko.io/   https://anchor.fm/fintechflow  fintechflow@gmail.com  https://www.facebook.com/FintechFlow-653632598372221/  https://twitter.com/FintechFlow  https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechflow/about/  https://www.instagram.com/fintechflow/ 

How to bring innovation in a big  financial institution is always a difficult issue.
