IAG

Inspiring GenAI take up across 15,000 employees

IAG is the southern hemisphere’s largest insurance group, owning several of Australia and New Zealand’s marquee brands. Its visionary leadership wanted early uptake of GenAI among their 15,000 employees. We created an internal Inclusive Innovation ‘brand’, comms and campaigns that educate, reassure and inspire. Copilot users increased from 23% to 61% in six months; extensive users went up eightfold.

General use of Copilot rose from 23% to 61% in 6 months. Extensive use (more than 15 days/month) rose eightfold.
IAG has built an online community of over 1000 people in the space of a year. 250 people have volunteered to be GenAI ‘Activators’.
20 agents are already in service, with 100 in the pipeline, built in-house by teams across the business engaging the ‘GENI’ agent-builder we helped promote.

IAG meets its future

Core idea, naming, strategy

The core idea originated with the commitment of IAG to involve all of its employees in its GenAI movement, and the powerful democratic nature of the technology. “Inclusive Innovation” struck a profound chord for both IAG’s leadership and employees: reassurance, permission and inspiration… ‘this a challenge we face together’. Visually, the identity communicates the coming together of organization and technology, with the magic happening where IAG and GenAI overlap.

  • Campaign mark. Two overlapping is symbolise the coming together of people and technology.  

  • Storytelling. Three focused areas, designed to make GenAI less daunting.

  • Product architecture. A graphic system designed for quick deployment, enhancing navigation and usability of newly developed bot agents.

Orientation, education and inspiration

GenAI in the world of insurance

To help people understand how GenAI would function in an insurance setting we split its use at IAG into three simple-to-understand categories, each bigger in scale: 1) ready-to-use personal, 2) quick-build team agents and 3) large-scale organizational infrastructure. We named these Deploy, Shape and Compose. We broke the capabilities of GenAI into six categories, using movement and animation to educate. To foster a shared-learnings culture, we tell many stories of use cases.

  • Overlapping identity. A fresh take on the IAG Group brand – balancing consistency and differentiation.

Digital revolution, physical presence

Collateral and Activator support

IAG has built up a team of around 250 trained GenAI ‘Activators’. One of the perks is the right to wear what has become quite sought-after Inclusive Innovation merchandise.

Prompt big or go home

GenAI winter campaign

An Australia winter campaign to encourage personal take-up was built around the art of the prompt, brought to life by reimagining a cursor arrow in a number of ways. To show how the familiar was being challenged by GenAI, we reinvented a number of familiar phrases and sayings, changing their meaning by swapping out key words for ‘prompt’. The campaign encompassed activation events, competitions, animated adverts, social media and webinar content.

Client feedback

The cultural and financial implications of GenAI are seismic, especially for an organization of our scale, with the potential to positively impact so many customers. Getting the response right early is critical. Clout has made this daunting topic accessible, uniting our workforce around a clear movement that’s inspiring proactive decisions and, most importantly, inclusion. The impact is profound.
