Whether you are a manager or a developer in InsurTech, you might have heard about “low code” and “no code”. In any case, here is an article that you might find interesting:
“Low code is a development movement where time-consuming manual processes are automated, without hand coding, using a visual IDE environment, an automation that connects to backends and some kind of application lifestyle management system. The whole unit is called a “low code platform”
If you have spent a bit of time with IT developers or project managers, you might have heard of “Agile”, “SCRUM”, “Lean”. These are key concepts and, in our experience, a must for any young and fast-growing company.
“22% of insurance, asset and wealth management business is at risk to disruption from FinTechs according to our Global FinTech survey. Almost three quarters of insurance leader surveyed in the survey considered that insurance would be the most disrupted industry. Meanwhile, complex processes with multiple interactions, duplication of data entry and risk of fraud slows down traditional players’ ability to react.” PwC
Help your employees gain their full potential and avoid burnouts
1 employee in 5 considers her/himself to be tired or lacking energy. Most employees also report a high level of tiredness after lunch.
What if we could offer your employees to have a high level of energy the whole day long?
The general lack of energy as well as the post-lunch fatigue represent a substantial loss of productivity for companies and stress for employees.
This online module will guide employees through a quick analysis of their present situation, their needs and will give a first assessment of their present level of fitness as well as solutions easily implementable within minutes and measure quickly the result: more energy and more productivity. According to NASA, some strategies can improve by up to 35% employees’ reactivity and productivity in the afternoon.

Stéphane Tétart, naturopath, is the author of several books about health and well-being, including “Stop the fatigue” and the best-seller “Secrets of naturopaths”. He has helped people regain their full potential and productivity at work for more than 10 years after experiencing a burnout himself.
This video about some of our co-founders – the “INGAGE Brothers” – shows that they also “Think Different” in their daily lives. INGAGE’s concept of a “virtual first” company with digitization of all its processes is at its core.
Avila Spaces and INGAGE partnered up to create this course specially designed for people in insurance companies and other industries to boost their entrepreneurial spirit.
The course aims to directly reply to simple and/or complex questions that Entrepreneurs live on a daily basis independently of success or failure. The entrepreneurial spirit and the constant decisions around financial and economical risk or the possibility of investing in new ventures were some of the essential drivers for building this course.
This course is designed to help students to evaluate the business skills and commitment necessary to successfully operate an entrepreneurial venture and review the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship.
As a young company preparing the next round of investment, the availability of money in the world is a key topic.
In this very interesting episode of “C dans l’air”, economists discuss the impact of negative interest rates on the economy and more specifically on SMEs.
Many of the startups we have seen around the world in the past years digitize most of their processes in order to be lean and effective.
As a young company, INGAGE has made the choice from the very first days to make full use of digitization (virtual teams, video conferencing, digital processes, paperless) while keeping the human factor in the center of our team.
Most large companies nowadays use online cooperation tools. Video conferences are now part of our daily lives. They also have LMSs (e-Learning Management Systems) to train their employees online.
However, many individual trainers and smaller companies still lead workshops in physical meetings rooms, thus being unable to train people across regions. There are many tools for online collaboration, for video conferencing, but the trick is to combine them effectively in order to train people online in an engaging way. You can use Skype or Skype for Business, to talk, see each other and share your screen. You can also use Webex or Zoom, which enables participants to hand over the control of their own computer to a distant participant. The technology is there.
The challenge though comes when there are several people in the meeting room and participants scattered around the world via video conferences. One trick we found useful (for our own team) is to have everybody participate via their own computer with their own webcam. Even the people who are together in a same meeting room in a same location! Thus, there is no effect of a group vs. individuals. Everybody is on the same foot. Everybody can see clearly the other participants, as individuals.
