When people are filing an insurance claim, it’s typically not a good day for them. So it’s important to make the customer’s experience as pain free as possible. With the emerging blockchain and AI technology, there are both opportunities and challenges to work toward smoother processes. 

To explore this some, I (Mike Kelley) interviewed Brian Poppe, SVP of Income and Wealth Planning at Mutual of Omaha. Among other thoughts, Brian shared some of the areas in which new technology is being refined to make the customer experience faster and less intimidating, while still maintaining privacy and security.

“That’s a gravity issue… a thing that I cannot change. It’s outside of my control, just like gravity exists… So the best we can do is start to manage within knowing that exists.”-- Brian Poppe
