Problem statement

The project involved leading the redesign of LexisNexis® Map View, a property insurance assessment and risk management tool. The primary objectives were to improve data visualization for easier interpretation of risk datasets, update risk assessment capabilities with new data sources, and enhance the platform's ability to provide actionable insights through predictive analytics models. The goal was to increase user satisfaction, expand the number of assessable risk factors, and streamline decision-making processes for policy pricing and portfolio management.

Improve Data Visualization

  • ◼ Enhance the user interface to enable easier interpretation of risk datasets.
  • ◼ Implement intuitive data visualization techniques to present complex information in a user-friendly manner.
  • ◼ Achieve a 35% increase in user satisfaction by improving the data visualization experience.
  • ◼ Gather positive feedback from stakeholders regarding the enhanced data visualization capabilities.
  • ◼ Ensure the redesigned UI supports efficient risk dataset interpretation.

Expand Risk Assessment Capabilities

  • ◼ Update risk assessment capabilities by incorporating new data sources, such as satellite imagery.
  • ◼ Evaluate and incorporate assumptions derived from an artificial intelligence dataset evaluation into the risk assessment process.
  • ◼ Increase the number of assessable risk factors by 24% through the utilization of the new data sources.
  • ◼ Measure user satisfaction with the expanded risk assessment capabilities and gather positive feedback.
  • ◼ Ensure the new risk assessment capabilities align with user needs and expectations.

Provide Actionable Insights

  • ◼ Enhance the platform with predictive analytics models for policy pricing and portfolio management decisions.
  • ◼ Decrease the time required to generate actionable insights by 12% through improved analytics processes.
  • ◼ Enable portfolio managers to quickly view the portfolio state and make informed pricing and management changes.
  • ◼ Measure the impact of predictive analytics on decision-making efficiency and accuracy.
  • ◼ Ensure the availability of comprehensive and accurate insights for better policy pricing and portfolio management.
Research
  • Data Visualization: Conducted pre- and post-redesign comparison of user performance in interpreting risk datasets through data visualization. Measured the time taken to interpret complex risk data and observed a 12% reduction in interpretation time.
  • Conducted Usability Testing: Conducted usability testing sessions with 15 representative users to evaluate the redesigned product. Collected quantitative data on task completion rates, time on task, and error rates to measure improvements in usability.
  • Analyzed User Feedback: Analyzed qualitative feedback from usability testing sessions, support tickets and user surveys to identify common pain points and areas for improvement. Categorized feedback into themes and quantified the frequency of specific issues raised.
