OPERATIONS SERVICES

We help firms with organisational change to operating models and methods of working.

Overview of Operations Services

We support regulated insurance firms as they respond and adapt to organisational change resulting from regulatory and market updates to operating models and methods of working, often against the backdrop of tight timelines and in situations where there are imperfect resources, knowledge or information. Our team is able to provide firms with advisory support, co-sourced or out-sourced resourcing support and training for your own employees, from junior to board-level.

What We Do

Operational resilience, efficiency and excellence is at the core of the services which we offer our insurance clients with our experienced individuals bringing a real depth of experience developing, implementing and assessing operational models from across a broad range of businesses in the insurance sector and from wider financial services backgrounds.

ICSR has considerable practical experience in, and can assist with, various operations matters such as:

    1. Operational Resilience assessments and framework development;
    2. Development, review and implementation of operating models including controls to create greater efficiency and better controls for:
      1. Finance;
      2. Underwriting;
      3. Actuarial;
      4. Broking;
      5. Claims;
      6. Fulfilment and other client servicing;
      7. Complaints;
      8. Compliance, risk and internal audit functions;
    3. Outsourcing arrangements including framework and oversight;
    4. Support with Market Modernisation programmes, including Blueprint Two, where we offer some very specific services;
    5. Procurement services including preparation for bid tendering, tender review and evaluation, preferred bidder interviews and contract management.
