What's Next? Advisors delivers senior-level consulting for insurance and risk management organizations navigating system selection, implementation, and optimization.
Brad Krawczyk brings 20 years of experience delivering complex technology implementations in the insurance and risk management space.
He has led RMIS and PAS engagements of all sizes, working directly with risk managers, carriers, TPAs, risk pools, and self-insured organizations. His background spans hands-on technical delivery, enterprise client relationships, and building the systems and processes that make implementations actually work.
What's Next? Advisors exists to give organizations direct access to that expertise — without the overhead of a large consultancy.
Selecting and implementing an RMIS is one of the most consequential technology decisions an organization will make. What's Next? Advisors supports the full lifecycle — from requirements definition and vendor evaluation through contract negotiation, implementation management, configuration, training, testing, and go-live.
PAS implementations are complex, high-stakes, and rarely go exactly as planned without experienced oversight. What's Next? Advisors works with carriers, MGAs, and program administrators through every phase — system selection, implementation planning and management, workflow design, configuration, integration mapping, and post-launch optimization.
Not every engagement starts at square one. What's Next? Advisors helps organizations get more out of the RMIS and PAS platforms they already own — improving configuration, streamlining workflows, and ensuring the system keeps pace with evolving business needs.
Most consultants operate on one side of the equation — business or technical. What's Next? Advisors bridges both, which means faster decisions, fewer misunderstandings, and better outcomes.
Most implementations stall on configuration. What's Next? Advisors brings hands-on expertise in the systems that matter — getting them configured correctly the first time, not after three rounds of vendor escalation.
The ability to read code, interrogate data, and sit in the same room with a CEO and an intern — and be effective in both conversations. No translation layer. No miscommunication between business requirements and technical execution.
When one person holds both the business context and the technical knowledge, work moves faster. There's no handoff between a BA and a developer, no waiting for someone to loop in the right resource. The right resource is already in the room.
Modern implementation work benefits from AI tooling — for documentation, analysis, and accelerating repetitive tasks. What's Next? Advisors uses these tools actively to deliver more in less time, without compromising quality.
Every engagement follows a structured process — ensuring all parties are aligned on the same goals from the start.
The first conversation is free and straightforward. You describe your situation — where you are, what's broken or missing, and what a good outcome looks like. If there's a fit, we define the scope and move forward. If there isn't, I'll tell you that too.
Before any work begins, requirements are documented precisely. What the system needs to do, how success is measured, and what dependencies exist. Skipping this step is the single biggest driver of failed implementations — so it doesn't get skipped.
Execution is hands-on and accountable. Milestones are tracked, vendor commitments are held, and issues are surfaced and resolved before they compound. You're informed throughout — not just when something goes wrong.
Nothing goes live until it's been tested against the requirements defined in Step 02. Configuration, integrations, and user readiness are verified — not assumed. Go-live is a decision, not a deadline.
Whether you're evaluating systems, managing a difficult implementation, or looking to get more out of a platform you already own — the first conversation is always straightforward and obligation-free.
