Once the prioritization outline and plan are determined and your countries and benefits are selected, create your personalized roadmap and a tracking mechanism, such as a dashboard. Include details regarding definitions, eligibility, coverage level, dependent coverage, portability, exclusions, limits (e.g., dollar, visit.), and waiting periods. Getting input from local and regional colleagues can help bolster these efforts and ensure that they meet local needs.

To ensure sustainability, it is important to be able to justify and make stakeholders comfortable with any associated costs from both a global and local perspective. Going into a new market where a benefit may not have been offered before can result in insuring risk that is less understood and opaque. The cost may seem extremely attractive, but is this solely to create business that will soon escalate at renewal time? Alternatively, is the cost way too expensive for your business to absorb? The associated risk should feel right and be reasonable.
