Objectives define the annual goals of a company, but over the course of a year the process can become routine and tedious. Although action plans motivate the staff to think about what they must do to achieve the objectives, they might take anywhere from three months to a full year-and such plans define the work effort, not the results. The key to successful planning is benchmarking. To be worthwhile, each benchmark you establish must be: Measurable Achievable in a one-month period. Treated like a one-month project with a beginning and an end Most benchmarks fail because of non- or mis-implemented action plans. An amazingly high number of benchmarks are achieved when logical, ...

BENCHMARKING LOSS EXPERIENCE IN A WORKERS COMPENSATION LOSS-CONTROL PROGRAM Analyzing losses against payroll is an effective method to measure the effects of a loss-control program. The desired statistic is the pure loss rate, which you can calculate by developing reported losses for each of several years to an ultimate level and then trending these losses to a common loss date using benefit level, payroll, and medical-cost trends. Then relate adjusted losses by ratio with similarly trended payrolls for a pure loss rate for each year that can be credibly compared. The following example demonstrates how to choose a benchmark and how to track improvements in loss experience due to the loss-control program. ...

... ? The answer? Yes, if there's appropriate due diligence, perfect implementation, and the price meets realistic expectations. When these three conditions come together, as so many players seem to expect, banks can make fantastic returns by acquiring P/C agencies. However, the results to date strongly suggest that these conditions rarely — if ever — occur simultaneously. This first in a four-article series will focus on due diligence issues. DUE DILIGENCE Due diligence includes three elements: financial, legal, and operational. Because most banks are well aware of financial and legal due diligence, I won't discuss them here. However, I'm not suggesting that either should be ignored or minimized. OPERATIONAL DUE DILIGENCE Operational due diligence rarely receives adequate consideration and is frequently ignored. Operational due diligence includes peer review/benchmarking, competition, employees and their skills, and most important, the variations in culture between banks and insurance agencies. PEER REVIEW/BENCHMARKING Peer review/benchmarking helps align expectations with reality. Expectations, such as unrealistic hopes for economies of scale, are often set too high. For example, one large bank asked if I thought they could get an extra percentage point of revenue from insurance companies by bringing their size to bear in negotiations. I replied, Yes, but you'll inevitably lose that point through extra expenses. They didn't hear anything past Yes. If they had, they'd have carefully considered my analysis of large broker results that show an average five-year pretax profit margin of approximately 10% . That average then decreased to 8% before the hardening Commercial Lines market started to add some points ...
