Leadership in a world of interconnected and complex risks

Today’s business environment is one of uncertainty and complexity where risks are connected at a new level of unpredictability and intensity. FERMA’s 2016 European Risk and Insurance Report shows risk managers are particularly concerned about the economic environment, business continuity disruption, and political instability. Shaping strategy, effective risk management approaches and decision-making requires understanding the dynamics.

The true power of a risk manager: influence or support

Risk managers are increasingly asked to contribute on complex issues, encompassing technological, political, economic and regulatory risks. How can they align their activities with the new challenges and bring more value to their companies?  We believe that risk managers have a unique position to encourage greater communication between different functions, influence an integrated approach to risks and make an important input into the strategic planning. But to deliver effective advice, risk managers need to continue developing their skills to have a broader understanding of business, financial data and technology. To hold a broader role, risk managers should become strong leaders. What leadership skills are needed most?

Breaking bad – rethinking the insurance proposition for large corporations

In the words of legendary R&B singer Billy Ocean, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”. In an increasingly connected and complex world, there is a perception that commercial insurance addresses only a relatively small percentage of companies’ exposures to volatility and unforeseen events. In theory at least this suggests that there is plenty of opportunity for sophisticated insurance companies to develop new business offerings. This workshop will show how insurance carriers can rise to the challenge of business relevance and rethink how, and where, they engage with corporate clients. Workshop attendees will be encouraged to voice their views on how the commercial insurance offerings and business models should change with the times.

Driving risk culture in your own organization

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast”, according to the late management guru, Peter Drucker, meaning - Don’t think you’ll succeed if you don’t have the right culture behind you. The same goes with your risk management strategy. Good risk culture is the cornerstone of successful risk management. But how do we make it happen? Can we measure culture? Can we further enhance and cultivate risk culture? If culture seems a “fuzzy” topic to you, join the workshop and we will take the fuzziness away. We are happy to share our set of tools and real life experiences with you.

Millennials, Generation Y…our new talents and future leaders

Who are they these people? How do they work? What drives them? Are they a risk? Do they like risks? During this interactive session, an international company will explain its talent program for trainees and describe its experience with the young generation. A lively exchange between experienced and young insurance and risk managers is expected!

Secret ingredient for becoming a risk leader

This session will focus on key skills and secret hints on how you become a successful risk leader. In a world where regulatory requirements shift and evolve, risk managers need to keep improving their skills and knowledge. Just what are the key skills and knowledge for success? Does a curriculum of two or three years provide an adequate starting background? The panel members will give their views on the most relevant education and credentials. Are strong academic finance qualifications more important or equivalent to business economics or technology science credentials? What does FERMA’s European rimap® bring to the profession compared with other certifications?
