As a trusted strategic partner serving the commercial P&C industry, Advisen powers the most celebrated names in the business. Likewise, universities and new professionals just starting out in the field also leverage Advisen as a vital resource that is central to their growth and research. No matter your position in the space, this blog is for you. So, please share your perspective.

As we at Advisen survey the state of the industry, the only constant we see is that everyone knows who we were last year is not who we will be next year.

In a word, transformation is the rule of the day for ourselves, our businesses, and our clients. Whether it’s the evolving imperatives guiding the formation of the cyber insurance market or the natural disasters inflicting unprecedented damages on insureds, our imaginations are tasked like never before. As risk professionals, it is our duty to consider what may be. It is why Advisen reports on breaking insurance news and maintains records on hundreds of thousands of loss events that are constantly updated as the story around each develops.

Markets rely on insurance professionals to make the soundest of choices. Recommending appropriate limits, underwriting the right risks, and organizing business processes are opportunities that require the skills, talents, and dedication of the community of professionals we are privileged to serve. We hope that this blog helps you.
