Case Study: Fortune 500 Insurance Company

Introduction

This case study of a Fortune 500 insurance company is based on a April 2015 survey of Frost & Sullivan Executive MindXchange customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled company asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

“I was invited as a co-facilitator to this event. The moment I joined the evening mixer on the patio deck I was very impressed with the attendee audience and the Frost & Sullivan coordinators. The caliber of participants provided engaging and thought provoking thoughts and ideas. The session I co-facilitated was very interactive and I appreciated the audience participation in really driving meaningful insights and best practices. For a first timer I walked away with new relationships and broader perspective of the industry.”
