Insurance Networking News is pleased to present its 2nd annual INNovators 2008 Award, a prestigious designation intended to advance the spread of business technology acumen in the insurance industry.
Who can be nominated?
Nominees must work for insurance carriers, agencies or brokerages. Nominations should reflect the name of an individual, a team, a department or an entire company. The “innovation” must have been in production long enough to have returned demonstrable, tangible results.
Who can nominate?
Anyone with a specialized knowledge of information technology -- as it applies to insurance -- is welcome to nominate a potential INNovator. Those eligible to nominate a potential INNovator can work for insurance companies, industry suppliers, research firms or consulting companies.
Who will judge?
A panel of notable insurance industry experts, including industry analysts such as Matt Josefowicz (Novarica), consultants such as Mark Gorman (Mark Gorman & Assoc.) and the distinguished members of the INN Board of Advisors, will choose the winner from the nominees chosen by INN readers.
If the judges consider more than one project worthy of the highest recognition, they may, at their discretion, choose more than one INNovator.
The winner/winners will have led or contributed to a business application, innovation or project anywhere in the insurance industry supply chain that uses technology to meet many, but not necessarily all, of the following possible criteria:
1. Unprecedented use of technology.
2. New uses for established technology.
3. Demonstrable return on investment.
4. Cost savings.
5. Brand enhancement.
6. Improved efficiency.
7. Better accuracy.
8. Increased production.
9. More complete reporting.
10. Improved regulatory compliance.
11. Enhanced agent retention.
12. Better customer service.
13. Furtherance of corporate objectives.
14. Acceptance from other parts of the company.
15. Good relations with vendors.
16. Good relations with consultants.
How will winners be recognized?
Winners will be announced in a special report mailing with the October issue of Insurance Networking News, as well as on the Insurance Networking News’ Web site.
