Time To Market Improvement in the insurance industry

The company

The client is the first insurance group with Spanish capital, that began its activity by providing its customers with car and home insurance. Later, it extended its services to the field of health and life insurance.

Currently, it provides services throughout Spain, with many delegations throughout the country. Between direct and indirect staff, it has almost 9,000 employees.

The challenge

The client needed to improve in the time to market for the launch of new products and internal projects as well. The time to market for launching a new product has a great influence on the company's results. A fast time to market allows maximizing the opportunities offered by the market while reducing development costs.

The reduction of time to market required the improvement of the coordination between several departments (services, systems, sales, marketing and planning). Planning deadlines were not meet and projects planned finished date was often delayed.

Our answer

The client asked DOT to help improve the launch times for new products, by supporting the internal team in the implementation of more efficient interdepartmental practices.

  • New procedures were implemented, tested on small teams, and later distributed throughout the organization.
  • Improvements were implemented in the following 4 areas: planning and execution process, definition of roles and participants, improvements in the coordination between areas, and definition of project management tools and processes.
  • A standard methodology to launch products, agreed upon by the different departments, was design.
  • The new process was implemented, training the employees and accompanying them during the consolidation phase.

 

As a result of the successful implementation, a 20% reduction time to market time was achieved. Also, the improvement in the planning and coordination between areas had an impact on reducing the IT development cost by 15%.
