Amerisure, one of the nation’s leading commercial insurance providers, has been on a 3-year journey to shape their culture inside-out towards improved innovation, speed, and customer service. Their journey highlights the critical importance of involving top-level leaders not only in the discernment process, but in the ongoing engagement of the execution itself, especially as steps in the journey impacted every area of business including field marketing, risk management, claims, operations and more.
For three years in a row, from 2019 through 2021, a cross-business agility team and leadership engaged in a cultural assessment highlighting key strengths and gaps. This transparency helped communicate the need for change as well as inform the direction of change. Key focus and experimental initiatives were tied into the cultural direction and allowed them to evolve their business agility journey in their own way. Thus, rather than instilling a particular agile practice or scaling framework, they developed new structures, policies and measures that fit into the future Amerisure culture.
While the Amerisure business agility journey has positively impacted a number of critical performance measures including reducing Time-To-Market by 30% and improving Net Promoter Scores, it is not simply a feel-good story. Rather, this case study illustrates the importance of leadership involvement, cultural awareness and transparency, a cross-business agility team, a long-term orientation, an experimental mindset, and celebration of marginal gains.
