What if the biggest opportunity for insurance AI isn't better automation, but better data?

In this episode of Making Risk Flow, host Jake Harding sits down with Patrick Meehan, Senior Solution Director at Dun & Bradstreet UK – Insurance Services, to explore why trusted business data, entity resolution, and continuous monitoring are becoming critical to the future of commercial insurance. They discuss why insurers need to move beyond fragmented, policy-by-policy snapshots toward a shared view of the customer across underwriting, claims, compliance, and renewal. 

Patrick also explores the hidden concentration risks within seemingly diversified portfolios, the challenges of building and maintaining data infrastructure at scale, and why insurers should start with measurable business problems rather than massive enterprise data projects. Tune in to discover how connected data can reduce duplication, improve risk visibility, and help insurers build workflows designed for AI.
