In this episode of Making Risk Flow, host Juan de Castro speaks with Bill Harris and Drake Slaikeu-Lawhead of ITC Vegas about how insurance growth hinges less on tools and more on connection. They explore how Insurtech Connect’s “neighbourhood” model helps carriers, brokers, and agents navigate 700+ vendors by organising solutions around real business needs. The conversation dives into AI’s impact on distribution, streamlining ACORD processing, claims, and upstream risk transfer, while reinforcing that independent agents remain essential for trust-based advice.
As pilots shrink from years to months, speed to impact becomes the new competitive edge. Yet in a digital-first era, they argue that face-to-face interaction still drives the most valuable outcomes. Serendipity, not just software, is what truly keeps risk flowing.
