Download - KPMG_Target Operating Model
The challenge Over the past decade, the insurance industry has had its share of disruptive
events: major booms and bursts in stocks and real estate markets, continuing
industry consolidation, a regulatory tsunami, the emergence of independent
distribution, and steady growth of the product portfolio, to name a few.
Meanwhile the operating model of insurance companies remained unchanged,
with following potential drawbacks:
Sales organization inadequately adapted to latest changes in distribution •
channel and product portfolio mix.
Non-optimal operational processes for contract, claims and investment •
administration departments.
Risk and finance organization insufficiently adapted to the forthcoming •
legislative requirements (Solvency II, IFRS 2).
Inappropriate ICT architecture, insufficiently aligned to real business •
needs.
To meet these challenges, consider transforming your operating model.

KPMG approach
Operating model transformation can generate substantial business performance
improvements for the insurer, including:
Greater market profit margins.•
Reduction of new product introduction time.•
Significant reduction in service costs per policy.•
Reduction in IT operating costs and customer service staffing.•
KPMG’s Target Operating Model (TOM) service helps organizations in the
insurance industry successfully realise business strategy by constructing
optimal business architecture. It provides a framework for making decisions on
operational strategy such as what functions should be shared, how functions
should be configured in size and budget, and where operations should be
performed and by whom. The model itself is flexible, and can range from
simple, local model (e.g., a blueprint for a specific departmental change) to a
complex articulation (e.g., a major global transformation of an organization).
The TOM services covers all dimensions of the business that contribute to the
realization of a vision:
Organization, geography and governance review.•
People and required skill sets.•
Business process and methodology review.•
Review of information systems and technology.•
Performance management through key performance indicators.•
