The MinTraq readiness lens for Storebrand
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at Storebrand.
Anchor your preparation in the products your role touches: pension arrangements, insurance cover, savings or managed funds. Show how your specialist work supports accurate decisions and clear communication.
Consider how you would handle a customer need that does not fit a standard explanation, or a trade-off between speed and careful checking. Use examples where you clarified uncertainty before acting.
For leadership roles, prepare to discuss how you align specialists around customer outcomes while keeping ownership clear across product and market boundaries.
For roles using data or automation, explain where AI could assist analysis or service and where human review remains important for consequential financial information.
Same company, different preparation
Preparing for Storebrand is not one thing. What you need to show depends on the role you want.

What should I learn about Storebrand before preparing for a role?
Start with its mix of pensions, life insurance, savings and asset management, then narrow your research to the business your role supports. Consider how serving customers in Norway and Sweden could affect communication and delivery.
