Client Profile:
Assurity Life Insurance Company has a history of providing 'best in class' service to individuals and small businesses for over 100 years in the life and health insurance industry. Its products include annuities, and life, disability income, critical illness, hospital indemnity and long-term care insurance plans. Retirement plan administration is provided through a subsidiary. Assurity's corporate offices are located in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Project Opportunity:
Assurity uses the Balanced Scorecard process to translate the company's vision, mission and key strategies more clearly through objectives for each division, department and individual associate. These objectives are defined using performance indicators and measurements. Currently, an associate only has access to a hard copy of their personal scorecard and the scorecard of their department. Assurity sees the opportunity to:

• Improve communication of the company's vision, mission and strategies to associates
• Improve visibility of each department's indicators/metrics to associates and help educate them on the scorecard connection between departments

Project Solution:
Assurity's solution will provide 'line of sight' companywide balanced scorecard information to its associates on large touch screen LCD displays. Any associate will be able to view graphical representations of various scorecard metrics and ratings at the department and company levels.

Assurity also aims to provide information relating to its key business tracking measurements. This will include visual representations of new business volumes, total annualized premiums, and other financial indicators.
