The cost.

The renewal packet that gets sent back three times because Legal, Underwriting, and Client Success can't agree on terms by deadline

The situation this course is for

Every renewal cycle, the same pattern repeats: underwriters finalize risk assessments late, pricing teams lack clean inputs, client managers scramble to confirm terms, and Legal holds final sign-off until wording is airtight. The result? Renewal packets bounce between teams, deadlines slip, clients get nervous, and margin leaks from rushed concessions. This isn't a people problem, it's a workflow design failure. The cost isn't just time; it's eroded trust, compliance exposure, and lost pricing power.

Who this is for

A senior commercial lines leader in a multinational insurer, accountable for on-time renewals, team alignment, and margin integrity across complex client portfolios

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused only on claims or personal lines, or leaders without cross-functional renewal process ownership
