Businesses are faced with a brand-new set of challenges in 2020; however, that does not mean that we can afford to shove previously existing risks to the side

Companies should rethink how they can unlock the value of their intangible assets

Organisations are historically uncertain when it comes to ART; however, risk managers should start reconsidering non-traditional insurance programmes to keep on top of current and emerging risks

Key tips for risk managers: Maintain strong relationships with stakeholders, remain flexible, ready & organised, and focus on mitigating risks instead of how to cover damages
