Is your insurance broker truly advocating for you? In this episode of IT Unplugged, we sit down with Stephanie Lee, Senior Risk Management Consultant at USI Insurance Services, to discuss how manufacturers can tell if their insurance partner is working in their best interest.

Stephanie shares her unique journey from 13 years in logistics and supply chain consulting to becoming a trusted insurance advisor for Wisconsin manufacturers. Her insider knowledge of manufacturing operations gives her a distinct advantage in identifying risks that other brokers might miss.

Key Topics Covered: • How to evaluate if your insurance broker is truly advocating for your business • Why manufacturing risks are different from other industries • The interconnected nature of supply chain vulnerabilities • Using data analytics to make informed risk management decisions • Breaking away from relationship-based insurance decisions • ROI analysis for insurance investments and loss prevention • Supply chain risk assessment for manufacturers • Property and casualty insurance challenges for difficult risks • Business interruption coverage and downtime costs

What You'll Learn: Stephanie explains how USI leverages proprietary data from thousands of clients to benchmark your coverage against industry peers. Instead of relying solely on relationships, modern insurance consulting should provide hard facts and analytics to support recommendations.

Learn why "insurance finds you" rather than the other way around, and how Stephanie's background in warehouse assessments, automation, and system integrations now helps her protect the very assets she once helped companies invest in.

Perfect for manufacturing business owners, risk managers, and anyone evaluating their current insurance partnerships. Discover how data-driven insurance consulting differs from traditional relationship-based approaches.
