Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Carrier Management’s readers are property/casualty insurance executives who aspire to be better leaders, managers, and citizens. Carrier Management informs business strategies and guides leaders toward their successful execution. The insurance industry lags other financial industries in technology and innovation. In this series of videos and print and online articles, Carrier Management takes a deep dive into geospatial technology and its applications in property/casualty insurance. For insurers, the new world opened up by geospatial information system (GIS) may seem daunting, with firms specializing in satellite and aerial imagery data collection, insurance-specific turnkey apps, and geospatial data analysis tools all proliferating. The series discusses ways in which insurers can use information satellite and aerial imagery including: automating property inspections; enhancing flood maps; tracking supply chain risks and marine transportation backlogs; developing parametric insurance products; and improving catastrophe responses. The variety of participants taking part in Carrier Management’s Roundtable on Geospatial Information Systems—including an analyst, a commercial insurance pricing specialist, a scientist, an managing general agent and a reinsurer—illustrate the degree of coordination that the industry will need to make the best use of GIS information. “I really do view this as the next big thing—on the order of the Internet, on the order of mobile phones,” said editor Mike Fitzgerald, who organized the series and assembled the experts from all corners of the P/C insurance industry.
