The rules of risk have changed for insurance crisis management. Today’s insurers face not just one crisis but many, all at once, and all interconnected. Climate disasters drive inflation. Public health shocks ripple through supply chains. Political instability fans the flames of economic disruption.
This is the era of polycrisis and it’s pushing traditional insurance risk models to the breaking point.
What Is a Polycrisis?
A polycrisis refers to the collision of multiple crises that interact and amplify each other. In isolation, each crisis might be manageable. Together, they create a tangled web of volatility and uncertainty that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
For insurers, this means that risk is no longer one-dimensional, and risk management can’t be either.
Insurance Crisis Management in a Polycrisis World
The polycrisis era requires a shift from siloed thinking to systemic awareness. When one crisis sparks another, insurers need to respond rapidly, flexibly, and with confidence, especially in claims operations, where policyholder trust is on the line.
Traditional risk models, call centers, and service vendors aren’t built for this level of complexity. To manage through today’s cascading threats, insurers need:
- Real-time responsiveness
- Surge-ready operations
- Flexible, scalable support
- Cross-functional insight into evolving risk
