Claims Transformation
Partners& Insurance Ltd - June 2025
I led the implementation of a new claims management system, transforming the company’s outdated manual and paper-based claims processes into streamlined, digital-first workflows. The objective was to increase efficiency, improve accuracy, and enhance both customer and employee experience by modernising claims handling from end to end.
Deliverables
Implementation of a new claims management system.
Digitisation of previously manual, paper-based claims processes.
Migration of historical claims data into the new platform.
Training and support for claims handlers and operational staff.
Process redesign workshops to optimise workflows and ensure compliance.
Challenges
Migrating large volumes of historical claims data into the new system.
- Overcame this with phased migrations, rigorous validation and reconciliation activities, and close collaboration with operational teams to ensure data integrity.
Redesigning processes to suit a digital-first approach while maintaining compliance.
- Addressed by running collaborative workshops with compliance, operations, and IT stakeholders to align on new workflows.
Driving adoption among staff accustomed to long-standing manual processes.
- Achieved through targeted training, quick-reference guides, and embedding champions within the claims team for peer support.
Maintaining service levels for customers during the transition.
- Managed by staggering go-lives and running old and new systems in parallel temporarily to ensure continuity.
Balancing limited IT resources against competing priorities.
- Mitigated by introducing agile delivery practices and focusing sprints on the highest-value claims process improvements.
