The capability crisis: rethinking how we develop expertise
- Edie Cimba, AVP Casualty Major Case Unit, Aviva Canada
- Christine Thibault, Sr. Manager, Learning & Development, Aviva Canada
- Joseph Presutti, Litigation, Risk & Employment Manager, City of Mississauga
Insurance claims organizations are under increasing pressure as rising claim complexity, evolving customer expectations, regulatory demands, and litigation trends exceed the pace of traditional capability development. This presentation examines why experience alone is no longer sufficient and explores a more intentional approach to building expertise. By embedding continuous learning, coaching, analytics, technology, and real-time feedback into everyday claims work, insurers can strengthen judgment, accelerate skill development, and improve future claims outcomes.
