Jason Greenwood - Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer, Delta Dental of Arizona
This think tank explores the disconnect in healthcare between strong trust in healthcare insurers and the lived patient experience, particularly in high stakes moments of care and claims.
• Exploring the gap between high institutional trust in healthcare insurers and lower experiential trust when patients need support
• Examining where the disconnect sits: claims handling, communication, or care navigation? Does experience perceived relate to the insurer or with partners?
• Considering whether healthcare insurers are addressing this gap and how?
• Redefining success beyond operational metrics toward resolution, clarity and patient experience

10:35 am - 11:05 am Think Tank Discussion: Building Always-On Readiness in Insurance

Trust is built in the moments that matter most. In the face of growing operational complexity, fraud threats, regulatory pressure and rising customer expectations, insurers must be ready to respond quickly, confidently & at scale.

This discussion will explore how insurers are strengthening resilience across compliance, fraud and risk through smarter operating models, automation and improved cross-functional coordination. Join to be part of a conversation exploring:

• Where operational blind spots still exist across key operational areas
• The challenge of balancing automation and AI with human oversight and governance
• What operational resilience at scale looks like in practice during disruption and high-pressure moments
• How insurers are moving from reactive issue management to more proactive and predictive risk strategies

Join us as we explore how leading insurers are building always-on operations that deliver greater agility and resilience to be there for customers when they need them.

2:00 pm - 2:30 pm Think Tank Discussion: Governing Customer Service Experience Across Third Party Providers

Outsourced customer service often delivers inconsistent experiences that customers don't differentiate from the insurer.

This think tank explores how leaders are managing CX across BPOs and partners.

• Establishing governance models that align vendors to CX outcomes

• Measuring partner performance beyond volume and handle time

2:00 pm - 2:25 pm Expert Keynote Presentation: Designing Experiences for a Multi- Generational, Multi-Expectation Internal & External Customer Base

Carey Bond - Head of Claims, Americas, Lloyds

This session examines how communication breakdowns across channels, teams and partners undermine confidence and increase avoidable service demand.

• Identifying critical communication gaps across claims, service and digital journeys

• Improving continuity between digital updates, written communications and human interactions

• Reducing re‑explanation and repeated contact caused by poor internal alignment
