Insurance Advisory Demand Strengthens
Information Services Group said insurance companies now seek advisory relationships that go beyond planning. The firm said insurers want support that connects strategy, operating models, and execution. This shift comes as sector pressure increases across several business lines.
The report cited margin pressure, regulatory complexity, customer demands, and climate-related loss volatility. These forces push insurers to reassess how they use consulting partners.Companies now want clearer links between advice and measurable business outcomes.
III said insurers increasingly prefer long-term transformation relationships. These partnerships help companies align strategic goals with daily operating changes. They also support accountability across large programs that require sustained execution.
AI Operating Models Gain Focus
The report said more insurers now design AI-first operating models. These models target underwriting, claims processing, fraud detection, and customer engagement. Advisory firms now face higher demand for practical deployment guidance.

Business Model Pressure Drives Transformation
