The Mutual Group

The insurance landscape is evolving fast, and mutual insurers face mounting challenges—from extreme weather and inflation to shifting public policy. But one of the toughest hurdles? Technology adoption. As The Mutual Group’s Board Chair Charles Chamness shared with John Weber on AM Best, regional mutuals often struggle to implement modern technology, lacking the scale to negotiate costs effectively. This can turn digital transformation into a costly, drawn-out process—one that’s critical to get right in today’s competitive environment. How can mutuals stay ahead? Chuck shares his insights in this must-watch conversation. https://lnkd.in/gZFkM8vb #MutualInsurance #InsuranceIndustry #Leadership #Technology #PublicPolicy
