Methodology

 You run a business (active, not

passive learning – a “laboratory”)

 Total immersion (overwhelmed

with data. A representation of reality, not a replication)

 By doing it! (making mistakes)  Focus on the bigger picture (get

  • utside your specialty area – talk

to others, listen to others)

 As an organized team

(divide/conquer/report)

 Competing (focusing on end-

goals)

 Fun!

An opportunity to share thoughts & best practices in real-time Common “Blind Spots” & Thinking Points

1.

About the “whole” picture of Agency/Brokerage operations and the need for coordinated/aligned decision- making

2.

About how you make money (i.e., financial reports, metrics)

3.

About long-term positioning (i.e., strategy)

4.

About the need for management & leadership

  • About customers & their lifetime

value

  • About external forces

(i.e. markets, competitors)

  • The advantages of

teams/multiple perspectives/dialogue/debate

Metric or KPI Circle Weighting Circle

Net Revenues Avg. Final Net Profit € Avg. >=12.5% Net Profit % (ROS) Avg. >=12.5% Net Profit Final % or € Return on Investment Avg. Final ROA or ROE (if final ROE is chosen an equal or higher

weighting must be in average profit)

Customer Experience

NOTE: All customers, weighted by customer count.

Avg. Final Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) or Lifetime Value (LTV) Producer Attrition Avg. Final 100%

Using the KPIs below, document how you want your company’s performance to be assessed. Rules:

  • Assign a 0% - 50% weighting to each measure.
  • You are expected to leave a sustainable company. Revenues CANNOT drop by more than 20% and

attrition CANNOT be higher than 20% in the final round! New rules may be added.

  • Forecasted Trust Ratio must be >=1.0 for final round.
  • First tie-breaker: Equal weightings on every measure below.
  • Second tie-breaker: A vote amongst non-tying team members and faculty for “best” agency.

Some suggestions for best “virtual” experience… more later

  • This will be intense, and fun!
  • We will start on time (we will end on time), so connect

early and THEN have your coffee

  • Keep camera on as much as possible, connect with

computer audio vs. telephone – test this during Office Hours!

  • Stand up and stretch frequently (feel free to turn off video)
  • In catastrophic failure (or Zoom bomb), don’t panic… wait

for email

  • Suggest 1280 x 720 resolution for best simulation

experience (do you know how to change it?)

  • Now you need to get ready, complete your Individual

prework … and then get together for “As a Team” prework
