This Report is for the whole Insurance Industry

The impact of Generation Alpha on insurance is going to be felt across every part of the insurance ecosystem.  The 100 teenagers that took part in this Time Machine report have provided a deep, rich dataset and the insights, trends and blueprints drawn from this are actionable, high impact and worth prioritising. 

For Insurers

This is a must-read report for primary carriers.  The transformation priorities are critical for all primary carriers and the insurance ideas span most policy areas including Life policies, Home policies, Cyber policies and even have an impact on speciality lines. 

The talent blueprint provides an actionable way to solve the industry wide talent issues.

For Brokers

Brokers will want to read this report because Generation Alpha presents and opportunity for brokers to redesign how insurance is sold.  Additionally the talent war is as relevant to the brokers as it it across the other parts of the insurance industry, and so the Talent Blueprint provides an actionable way to solve one of the industry’s biggest challenges.  

Additionally, the Marketing Blueprint is useful to everyone involved in distribution and sales of policies. 

For ReInsurers

Reinsurers need to read the report because it provides a long-term  view of the whitespace of new risks emerging. The talent blueprint will also be fascinating reading for Reinsurers.  

For Personal Lines carriers

Like our sponsors Aviva, personal lines carriers will see the immediate relevance to their business.  Both carriers in the UK and globally will find the report a goldmine of opportunity to use in aligning, developing and supporting their roadmaps and priorities over the next 5 years.

For Commercial Lines carriers

While not obvious in it’s relevance to commercial lines carriers, a number of the ideas are directly ideas for commercial lines carriers.  More importantly, the breadth of the report together with the focus on diversity and inclusion in talent are important reasons for commercial lines carriers to read the report.

The Social Impact this Report Has Created

£11,200 paid into some of the UK’s poorest communities

‘Trickle up economics’ is what we call our alternative to trickle down economics.  

We pay students to work on the report.  This allows us to entice a diverse set of students, not just the hand raisers.  

Some students spend their money on birthday presents for friends, others spend their money to help their families.  What they don’t do, is store it tax efficiently.  That’s why we believe in trickle up economics. 

100 diverse teenagers given paid work experience

Talent is everywhere.  Opportunity is not.  And it starts with work experience.  By giving a diverse set of teenagers their first work experience and a reference we help them through the first hoop.  

Teenagers learning critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication

These are the 21st century skills that our students need to develop to thrive in the world they inherit.  

We do this by teaching them how to bring their ideas to life and share them with others. 

Gender Diversity in teenagers developing leadership skills

Our Squad Leaders on this Time Machine report were both female.  Rokeebat’s story is shared in detail in the report and shows how multiple interactions with Startup Sherpas develops gender diverse talent. 

Inspiring the social entrepreneurs of tomorrow

25% of our teenagers discover their own entrepreneurial spirit by taking part in the Time Machine SuperSquad.  

We get a 5x increase in the students desire to explore their own startups when they take part.
