You are about to see an interview with Renee Torchia, Vice President of Talent Strategy and Culture at Verisk Analytics. Before we hear from Dr. Torchia, let me tell you about Verisk and why it's an important case study. Verisk Analytics is a leading data analytics provider for customers in insurance, natural resources, financial services, government, and risk management. In 2015, Verisk was ranked by Forbes as one of the worlds most innovative companies. And in 2015, as one of America's best large employers. The company specializes in predictive analytics and data driven support solutions. In business for almost 45 years and headquartered in New Jersey, United States, Verisk has offices in almost 80 countries worldwide. The company employs over 6,000 people, approximately one-third of which are subject matter expects in topics like predictive analytics, actuarial science, computer science and others. According to Verisk, the company is committed to a culture of workplace diversity and inclusion as well as to the well being and professional growth of people. Verisk's core values of its employees are, one, a commitment to excellence and professional growth. Two, personal integrity. Three, enthusiasm for challenging work. And four, a desire to contribute capabilities to a successful team. The company is committed to offering a high level of service according to the Verisk way. The three principles of the Verisk Way are number one, serve. The company takes great satisfaction in meeting clients' needs and exceeding client expectations. Number two, add value. Each day is an opportunity to add value to the clients by improving quality, productivity, and timeliness. Number three, innovate. The company is passionate about visualizing the future and being thought leaders in the field. Verisk is an important case study, because the company went public in 2009. Since it's IPO, Verisk has acquired 11 different companies, because new acquisitions often mean a merging of cultures and traditions, there's inevitable turmoil within a company undergoing change, and the need to make adjustments. In the next video is where I interview Dr. Torchia, we will get any insight about how Verisk navigated through these changes successfully. You can apply the lessons learned from Verisk's experience to best practices you can incorporate on your team, and in your organization.
