EY Future Insurance Vision Journeys

in 2017 I’ve worked with EY to develop a set of insurance focused customer vision journeys involving new technologies like fitness trackers, chatbots, AI and social rewards.

My role spanned from research, building up the story flows to prototyping (Flinto) into an interactive presentation. Here is a selection of the end result, around a bit of context for each one.

Story 1: Customer Service Intelligent Automation

Charles is a customer of ABC Insurance Co and has recently fallen into financial difficulties. After his bank notifies him that he has insufficient funds to pay his premium, he gets in contact with ABC via their mobile app to discuss what to do next. ABC's Al ChatBot, 'Abe', guides Charles through his options to keep his policy from lapsing and actions them immediately for him during their conversations.
