We took the 15 capabilities above and created a framework to help agencies strategically move forward in their digital transformation journey. The tools build on each other, forming a hierarchy of digital capabilities ranging from fundamentals to modernizations to innovations.

The Seven Digital Capabilities That Drive Revenue Growth 4

Fundamentals

Fundamentals are easy to implement and have been widely adopted across the independent agent channel – by both high and low adopters. These include tools such as email, e-signature and texting, which have become table stakes for doing business.

The Seven Digital Capabilities That Drive Revenue Growth 5

Modernizations

Modernizations are slightly more advanced and may require more time and money to implement. These tools allow agencies to reach a wider audience of prospects and communicate with their customers in more personalized ways. In the modernizations section, there is a growing gap between high and low adopters.

The Seven Digital Capabilities That Drive Revenue Growth 6

Innovations

Innovations include the most complex, high-investment tools. Many of these tools build off other digital capabilities and may require some expertise to implement. For example, to effectively use paid social platform ads, an agency would need to have a strong social media presence and the tools to know how to create and target advertisements on each social channel. The tools in this category represent the most significant room for growth in the independent agent channel.
