What's Inside

5 Priorities. 90 Days. Real Impact.

This playbook synthesizes Aclaimant's four-part blog series with primary industry research to give you the clearest possible roadmap for your first 90 days.

1. Establish Your Foundation & Stakeholder Map

Identify who makes risk real, understand your exposure profile, and align leadership on what success looks like before you touch a single claim.
Days 1-30

2. Demystify Your Data & Tech Stack

Audit every system that touches risk data, map your data gaps by impact and fixability, and build your tech stack roadmap.
Days 1-30

3. Navigate Legacy Broker & Vendor Relationships

Evaluate every partner relationship against defined benchmarks — not just history — and set the performance standards your program deserves.
Days 30-60

4. Become the Historian: Analyze Your Loss History

Pull 3–5 years of loss runs, identify frequency and severity patterns, and produce a 90-day summary that becomes your credibility asset.
Days 30-60

5. Build a Proactive Culture from the Data Up

Shift from reactive firefighting to leading indicators, near-miss data, and a culture where risk is everyone's responsibility.
Days 60-90
