The process chosen is within the department of claims handling. This process was chosen as it is
one of the organizations core processes and highly representative because the process exists in
every insurance organization around the globe. It can also be viewed as the process where true
customer value is created as it is not until there is an insurance claim that the customer gets to
experience the service they have been paying for. This process is very wide as it includes all
insurance claims made by individuals as well as companies. The more complex the insurance
claim is, the more unique it gets from case to case and the harder it gets to identify patterns.
Furthermore, some of the more complex cases can have a time span of several months to years.
For this reason it was important to narrow down and exemplify using one specific type of
insurance claim. It was also important for this to be a relatively easy to follow claim in order to
be able to identify patterns within the time frame given for this study. Based on these
qualifications, the process of insurance claims regarding stolen bikes was chosen. This case also
proved to be a good choice as there has recently been a new IT-system introduced to the
workflow. (Respondent 5; Respondent 4)
