Special Episode: Introducing McKenzie Intelligence Services with founder Forbes McKenzie

Today’s guest is an amazing person with an incredibly interesting
story to tell. After 10 years in the British military and
distinguished service in Iraq, Forbes McKenzie was determined to
apply the skills he had learned in military intelligence in the
civilian world. A decade and lots of hard work later, McKenzie
Intelligence Services (MIS) is bringing real-time intelligence to
bear on natural disasters and manmade events alike and has won a
major tender to provide its services across the Lloyd’s market.
As Forbes describes in the podcast, users of the firm’s GEO
platform are improving reserving estimates by 93%, cutting claims
overheads by 40% and this is making an average 2 percentage point
improvement to loss ratios. Here we talk about the art of
blending multiple data sources to provide insights that insurers
can use instantly. But because this is such a cutting-edge
business we get to look into the future and a world of really
smart, really focused artificial intelligence, instant straight
through claims payments, hugely expanded parametric insurance and
the future of exposure management. Forbes is excellent company
and has a great way of turning complicated ideas into simple and
understandable insights that you can use to improve the way you
go about your business today.
