This matters where customers may obtain insurance or pension products through direct routes, banks or independent advisers. Partnerships can broaden access by building on existing relationships, while digital and operational capabilities can influence service quality and efficiency.

Supplier power can include dependence on specialist technology, service capabilities or other inputs needed to operate in a regulated financial sector.

Economic conditions may alter household affordability, investment conditions and long-term saving decisions. Social trends can change expectations around retirement, protection and digital service.

Opportunities and threats belong outside the organisation: changing customer expectations, competitive alternatives, economic uncertainty, regulatory developments and technology shifts can all be assessed in that external context.
