Looking Through the Blind Spots of 3rd Party Relationships
Astor III
A Risk Manager only forum where Risk Managers share on how they manage their 3rd party relationships with service providers.
As risk managers, managing our relationships with service providers such as consultants, insurers, brokers, loss valuators etc. are a vital part of our business model framework. When a crisis comes, we rely heavily on them to minimise the pains that come with the issue.
In this closed door, risk managers only masterclass, we will discuss the challenges of managing 3rd party relationships, with senior risk managers sharing their experiences on what works for them and their lessons learnt.
Through an interactive host-to-audience discussion, this workshop is designed to help risk managers have a better understanding on how to better manager 3rd party relationships and potential conflicts of interest.

Mapping the Risk – Preventing Flood-Related Losses
Astor II
Global warming and rising sea level are well-documented and flood-related losses continue to mount across Asia. Efforts to combat climate change continue to gain pace, but will they be enough? While we muster the ambition to stop the rising tide, we can at least make sure that we’re ready.
This session forms a high-level dialogue between risk managers from public and private sectors with FM Global’s experts who will share their in-depth knowledge on flood mitigation practices as well as the insights gained working with clients to protect their facilities from the risks presented by flood across Asia.
The session will highlight several critical issues, including the severity of flood-related losses in Asia supported by real-life examples, and the importance of developing knowledge ahead of time given the unpredictable nature of flood occurrence. The session also aims to build further awareness among risk managers of the physical abatement and human interventions that are readily available.
This masterclass session is important for all risk managers because:
- Flood is a perennial issue in Thailand and many developing countries in Asia. Given the pressure placed on much of the continent’s infrastructure by population growth, the risk presented by flooding remains ever-present.
- There is an opportunity to improve the exchange of best practices to heighten awareness of loss prevention and risk mitigation solutions that address flood-related issues across Asia.
It is expected that at the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to identify practical actions to address and mitigate flood-related problems, leading to improved risk management practices and risk quality among the properties under their purview.

Why Insurance is Critical to Delivering a Successful Construction and Infrastructure Project
Astor II
The Masterclass will share methods of insuring Construction and Infrastructure projects and the key role insurance plays.
Insurance is intended to provide the Project Developer/Owner and the Contractor with a cost effective way of financing risks which they do not have the financial strength to bear themselves. All too often, the arrangement of insurance is regarded as an “administrative inconvenience” or simply being an exercise of being able to put a “tick in the box” of tasks completed.
However, it is not an exaggeration to state that arranging fit for purpose insurance coverage can be critical to the successful execution of any construction project, regardless of size and complexity.
Getting the right coverage from the insurance requires an adequate amount of attention during the early stages of the project’s development to ensure that the insurance being purchased provides the coverage needed.
Join our masterclass to learn how this can be achieved if the insurance is made to ‘dovetail’ with the risks inherent in the project, a task which requires a full understanding of commercial, financing, technical, and insurance matters.

In this complex and dynamic environment we operate in, organisations are required to ride with the waves of uncertainty. As senior management starts looking at risk and organisational sustainability in the longer run, the pressure weighs on risk managers to perform beyond their existing roles and responsibilities. This further emphasizes the need for risk managers to share the C-Suite’s vision and upsize their strategy to keep pace with the growing demand.
Hear from our C-Suite panel on how they see risk management positioned in their organisational strategy and help the audience view risk management from the senior management’s perspective

It’s no secret that we are accelerating into an unprecedented era of global disruption, enabled by the rise of new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and the Internet of Things. These technologies are paving new and profound ways for enterprises to innovate, interact with their eco-system and operate more efficiently. However, with accelerating innovation comes new unforeseen risks and unintended consequences for enterprises and for society. This challenge is of particular importance to Finance, Treasury and Risk executives who act as the gatekeepers to financial investments and the managers of corporate risk. In this session, we will explore the major trends shaping innovation in the 4th industrial revolution, implications for enterprises and society and practical steps to prepare for the next wave of disruption.

From floods to earthquakes to other natural catastrophes, we are experiencing an increase in the occurrence of these devastating disasters, wreaking havoc across Asia, causing fatalities, wiping out homes and livelihoods, and creating all kinds of economic and social distress and damage.
Many Asian cities are experiencing rapid urbanisation and rising economic activity within increasingly concentrated urban and metropolitan areas. As these cities grow, so does the exposure to the risks posed by natural catastrophes widen, affecting people, assets and facilities. Asia’s challenge is to close this protection gap. What is required to ensure that businesses increase their resilient in an increasing uncertainty environment?
This panel discussion will be of interest to risk managers, insurer carriers and broker partners as it traverses the following points:
- Possible gaps in group-level natural hazards resilience and risk mitigation of critical facilities against natural catastrophes
- Why insurance shouldn’t be the only tool deployed against natural hazards and the importance of having an integrated, ex-ante risk multi-faceted management plan in place
It is expected that at the conclusion of this session participants will be motivated to proactively develop a robust, integrated, risk management plan and improve business resilience against natural hazards in Asia.

How do you leverage some of the most advanced risk management tools to ensure that you have sufficiently taken into account your firm’s unique and constantly evolving areas of vulnerability, without spending more than you should to cover them?
With the government championing “Thailand 4.0”, which involves transitioning the economy into the digital age, risk managers need to review their approach towards risk management, to cope with the new realities and challenges of doing business. Learn what digitization means for firms and their operations, and how risks and vulnerabilities are transformed as a result.
In this session, experts across the spectrum of the risk management community will also discuss how the use of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and other tools will enable an enhanced approach to ensuring exposures are adequately and efficiently managed. These will be analyzed in relation to the findings in Targeting a Technology Dividend in Risk Management, a report jointly produced by Marsh & McLennan Companies and PARIMA.
