The 2020 global pandemic has seen many industries heavily disrupted. Insurance has been no exception, with the sector experiencing large-scale disturbance. This is leading to a re-focusing of priorities and a speeding up of transformation programmes. From employees working from home, to claims being dealt with differently in the sector, Endava were fortunate to have some time with leading insurance professional, Matt Potashnick. He talked through his views and opinion on what has been happening, but importantly, what needs to happen next.
