The golden age of underwriting and how to reach it | InsTech

About this webinar Underwriting is entering a period of meaningful change. Submission volumes are rising, risks are becoming more complex, and expectations around speed and transparency continue to increase. At the same time, MGAs are playing a more prominent role in the market, operating within delegated authority models where discipline, consistency and performance matter more than ever.

Against this backdrop, many in the industry are anticipating a genuine inflection point. Not driven by technology hype, but by a shift in how decisions are supported, governed and scaled in practice. In this webinar, Matthew Twist of Concirrus, Piers Williams of Diesta and Lisa Rowe of Specialty MGA UK explored what a “golden age of underwriting” looks like on the ground.

They discussed how underwriting roles are evolving, where friction still exists across the quote-to-bind and post-bind lifecycle and how MGAs and insurers can increase speed without compromising judgement or control.

The session examined where and how technology can enhance underwriting work, what should remain human-led and what foundations need to be in place to support more confident, connected underwriting decisions.

This webinar covered: What is meant by a “golden age of underwriting” and why it is emerging now How MGAs are reshaping underwriting models within delegated authority The operational constraints that continue to slow underwriting teams down Why connecting underwriting decisions to downstream operational outcomes matters What good underwriting looks like over the next three to five years
