The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven core process areas: underwriting operations, claims management, policy administration, compliance and controls, customer service delivery, operational risk, and change management. Practitioners use it to evaluate current practices, identify gaps, and build improvement plans. Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable statement, allowing users to respond with "Yes," "No," "Partial," or "Not Applicable." Example questions include: "Is there a documented process for handling policy reinstatements?" "Are claims file reviews conducted at key decision points?" and "Is there a log of customer service escalations with resolution timelines?"
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for common insurance operations artifacts. These include the policy intake checklist, claims triage matrix, SLA performance tracker, operational risk register, monthly operations review agenda, control validation log, process change request form, RACI matrix, training completion record, and new hire onboarding checklist. Each template is designed to be immediately usable and adaptable to different organizational contexts.
