Centuries of innate conservatism and inbuilt resistance to change is leaving some traditional insurance companies at risk of their continued existence as they react, often grudgingly and too slowly to a changing world. Clinging to comfortable but outmoded status quo simply isn't an option as new technologies such as IoT and upstart virtual competitors force change upon them.
