From AI pilots to business results: How insurance leaders can build and scale faster, presented by OIP

The next competitive advantage in insurance will come from how quickly companies turn business needs into solutions their teams actually use. For executives, the question is clear: how do you make that happen across your organization?

This session explores how carriers, MGAs, and brokers can adopt a forward deployed engineering (FDE) model, embedding engineers alongside underwriting and operations teams to understand the business, solve high value problems, and deliver working solutions with shorter turnaround times.

We will examine how Claude and other AI models can accelerate development across submission intake, underwriting support, policy servicing, and compliance. The discussion will focus on the decisions insurance leaders need to make: where to start, who should own delivery, how business users shape the solution, and what it takes to move safely into production.

Attendees will leave with a practical framework for organizing teams, prioritizing investment, and scaling successful solutions across business units. For leaders under pressure to demonstrate returns on AI, this session connects the technology to the operating model needed to deliver measurable gains in capacity, service, and speed.
