A new perspective on ideas, innovation and agency impact.

For Nate Scott from HMIA, Module 3 sparked broader thinking about ideas, innovation and the opportunities that exist within the underwriting agency sector.

Through discussions around new and existing product development, the module encouraged the cohort to step outside the day to day and consider how underwriting agencies can think differently, respond to market needs and create value.

Now halfway through the UAC Leadership Academy - Class of '26, Nate reflects on how the program has broadened his understanding of the role underwriting agencies play in the wider insurance industry, moving from a day-to-day view to a bigger-picture perspective.

The UAC Leadership Academy is Proudly backed by HDI Global as Program Sponsor.

Seeing the whole agency picture beyond the underwriting decision.

For Yasoda Stephenson from CFC Australia, Module 3 has brought the mechanics of underwriting agency growth into sharper focus.

From developing a product and considering how it would be presented to capacity providers, through to distribution, risk management, business planning, wordings and underwriting guidelines, the module gave the cohort a practical view of how product ideas move from concept to market.

Now halfway through the UAC Leadership Academy - Class of '26, Yasoda reflects on the value of stepping back from the underwriting function and building a broader understanding of how an agency operates as a whole.
