Synopsis
The certainty, consistency and cost-savings offered by centrally-managed global insurance programmes remain highly attractive to risk and insurance managers with multinational companies in Europe and worldwide.
But regulatory, political and economic volatility and uncertainty mean that risk managers need to work more closely than ever with their partners to make sure they derive maximum benefit and ultimately achieve compliance.
Commercial Risk’s inaugural Global Programmes – Consistency and Certainty conference was held in London on 12 June 2019, and leading global programme experts provided over 150 delegates with the latest essential intelligence on how they need to structure, design and manage their programmes to achieve their goals.
Agenda
What are the main threats to economic stability over the next five years? What is happening with global trade, sanctions and regulations?
In light of these challenges, what do multinational companies need to do to ensure they are fully prepared to deal with these risks.
How are the benefits of a global programme best sold upwards ultimately to the board and downwards to local managers on the ground?
Leading experts explain how the rules that impact how cross-border coverage is bought and managed have changed and are likely to evolve in major territories and regions of the world.
What is the best way to organise and structure a global programme to achieve consistency, certainty and compliance?
