It’s having a significant impact on our industry overall. And as I look at this from a role of a chief product officer, my goal is how do I take advantage of all the opportunities that technology provides to deliver those business outcomes that our users want? And do it in ways that also deliver those user experiences that leave people feeling excited and happy about the engagement that they’ve had.” — Shivani Govil, Chief Product Officer at CCC Intelligent Solutions “It’s more important to do something than to do nothing. That’s a change that will take a while to truly spread across the insurance industry, but it’s happening. It’s happening in a lot of the startups who are entering into the insurance business, and it’s happening with a number of traditional insurers who’ve woken up to the possibilities of digital technology, data, and innovating around things that seemed very common.” — Seth Rachlin, Executive Vice President at Capgemini “In order to succeed at innovation, you really need a few different things to come together. One is there needs to be a culture of innovation. And what I mean by that is that people are encouraged to push the envelope, to take risks, to have a learning mindset. One of the things that we’re doing across my team is no meetings on Friday afternoons, so that people can take time to focus on innovation and experimentation.” — Shivani Govil, Chief Product Officer at CCC Intelligent Solutions “I think too many people in our industry like technology a little too much. Many of us don’t recognize that there needs to be a business imperative for technology to make a difference. The secret is figuring out how to make technology relevant, how to make it meaningful, and how to make it resonate for customers, employees, stakeholders, and the ecosystem. Because otherwise it’s just cool technology.” — Seth Rachlin, Executive Vice President at Capgemini ## **Episode guests** ##### **Shivani Govil, Chief Product Officer, CCC Intelligent Solutions** [Shivani Govil](https://cccis.com/about/leadership/shivani-govil/) is Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer at CCC Intelligent Solutions.
