MSF CIO Gives Context to PBRI Project and Its Guiding Principles
We asked Al Parisian, CIO and PBRI project sponsor, to discuss the PBRI Project and its Guiding Principles; he puts these into context:
“Montana State Fund’s current policy system (PHS) was implemented in 1997, and it has served the business well. But it is an old-technology policy system designed for simpler times, and it is generally just a policy system. Today our customers team developed a set of guiding principles. These Guiding Principles are guideposts to ensure that our daily decisions and actions do serve the long term success of policyholders and employees … that employers will have useful insurance options and our employees’ skills will stay current far into the future. With such a long-term project and long-range implications, our Guiding Principles Compass is an important constant reminder to us to keep all 360 degrees of our principles in mind with every decision we make.
“Together, we are building a platform that leverages our competitive advantage today and allows us to maintain it going forward. Our customers will enjoy better and easier to use insurance products, dealing with the best informed insurance staff possible. And we are doing this in the context of MSF’s own Mission, Vision, and Guiding Values.
“I want every employee and customer to know that whatever the future holds for MSF and the Montana Workers’ Compensation marketplace, PBRI will give MSF the tools to deliver the best service on current products with well-equipped employees.”
