Principles underpinning reform

Reduce ‘Londonisms’: international firms must buy-in – governance role

Change requires authority and a degree of neutrality: individual firms cannot do it alone; Lloyd’s and the Associations will lead

Commitment to co-operate essential, on design and implementation

Network effects: a convoy for implementation Cost / benefit case is rarely convincing on its own.

FSA – the ‘smouldering’ platform. Transparency – the (now) burning platform

Minimum requirements; don’t ‘over satisfy’

4

Overall approach to market reform

Drive standards for data and harmonisation of process

LMP slip; A&S; claims management; ACORD work; contract certainty initiatives

Build supporting electronic infrastructure, throughout the life cycle of a contract

A&S; electronic infrastructure for claims (CLASS, ECF); Kinnect

Result: transparency in processes and performance. Then market firms and trading partners can

measure and manage

LMP slips, policy production, A&S take-up, claims processing

5

Contract Certainty and Documentation

4 Process options identified by the Contract Certainty Steering Group

- XIS role and timing is the focus Initial implementation areas identified by Brokers, LMBC documentation

overview committee (DOC) and CCSG – 300 risks starting Q1 2005, include ‘old’ way to assess impact. Broker meetings held, planning underwriter involvement.

Implementation guide on LMP web site LMP Policy being designed for initial implementations Performance monitoring group has agreed requirements regarding

measurement with London Market Standards Committee Policy checking by XIS: needs to be explicit and earlier

Lloyd’s and XIS codifying the checks; rationalise; publish performance data.

Binder checking detail published by Lloyd’s for market feed back Tiner (FSA) speech on contract certainty – core objective for market place

over next two years

Electronic Claims File

XIS development work Phase 1 (Repository enhancements) MAT scheduled to start 31st January Phase 2 (Improved search and usability) build underway Overall business process requirements scheduled for 31st January DRI design underway Slow rate of signing contract schedule for CLASS for Lloyd’s

Purpose of measurement Trustworthy data (vs. “I’ve heard it takes…..”) To drive process improvements Provoke firms to improve performance – measurable targets

where possible Measure impact of reform agenda

Dimensions Timing; Quality; Cost; Satisfaction – customer service survey

Sequence of delivery LMP Slips – more of the same Document production; XIS policy checking; start with binders CCSG Implementations Use of A&S and Claims electronic infrastructure
