Making Risk Flow | The Future of Insurance
The Iteration Trap: Why 'Improving' Your Underwriting is Killing Your Growth | Bryan Falchuk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if insurance workflows could evolve faster than regulation itself?
In his third appearance on Making Risk Flow, Bryan Falchuk, best-selling author, speaker, life coach and President and CEO of PLRB, joins host Jake Harding to rethink modernization of Insurance from first principles. They discuss why layering AI onto legacy systems only reinforces the iteration trap, while agentic AI enables carriers to redesign processes around real-time data orchestration. Bryan explains why implementation can shrink from years to weeks, how orchestration replaces brittle workbenches, and why design thinking is the unlock for cultural change.
The conversation also explores the shifting role of underwriters and claims professionals, from data processors to strategic advisors. It’s a clear-eyed look at how insurers can build adaptive, future-ready operations without wholesale system replacement today.
