Enabling agile transformation and cultural change

Cognitive computing: a new tool for improved decision-making at La Mobiliere
Swiss Mobiliar (Switzerland) has been developing a new tool for underwriting insurance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) over the past two years, looking at data-driven technology and artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive computing in particular, to support evidence-based decision-making. The new tool transforms unstructured data (including free text, images, video and audio files) into structured data in order to make it easier to extract information which can be analysed and used to aid decision-making. The tool can be used as the starting point for a discussion with clients in underwriting and in mitigating risk.
