Resilience
Week V2.1

Let’s Get Real. 20 Lessons Learnt from Risk Professionals Over the Last 20 Months.

The pandemic is still not over and we are managing the resulting economic and social impact. Risk professionals are called to support and advise their business on a plethora of topics such as hard market, business recovery, security, talent attrition, political risks etc. If only there was a way we can share openly with each other and draw insights on how we are managing similar challenges.

In this 1 hour risk managers only session, we ask senior risk managers across APAC to bring their case studies (scars and all) and share challenges they have faced as well as strategies they have taken to overcome them in their organization. We invite all risk professionals to join us and engage in this open peer-to-peer learning.

Sustainability – How to transition from statement to reality?

Sustainability has been on the minds of everyone in the last decade, but how do we see more tangible outcomes instead of just boardroom chatter. Join Xavier Veyry, CEO Asia Pacific & Europe, AXA XL, Alison Martin, CEO EMEA and Bank Distribution, Zurich and Franck Baron, Chairman of PARIMA as they discuss how the insurance industry is moving towards a more action based strategy.

During the session we will be answering these questions from both insurer and risk manager perspectives.

• Impacts of global warming on insurance losses
• Insurers as investors: are we investing / supporting ESG companies and funds
• Insurers as capital consumers: how is ESG impacting insurers’ interest in attracting investors and raising capital
• Are insurers changing underwriting / risk appetite depending on industry / environmental impact (i.e., insuring coal companies, etc.)

Building Resilience with Data

Today, data is the new gold. While data is perceived to be a source of intelligence that could help organisations make informed risk management decisions, and predict risks to their portfolios, it continues to be an area that corporates struggle with.

Data readiness among organisations vary significantly. While some companies are challenged by the lack of quality data, others grapple with the issue of data overload given the prevalence and availability of data from various sources including brokers, insurers, and partners. How critical is it for companies to have ready access to data? What would enable corporates to harness the full value of data? How can data be the catalyst for innovation, and how can corporates enhance their business resilience through data?

Brace for Impact: Managing the Risks behind Mega Trends

We have witnessed transformative forces that have augmented the world we know, and we will continue to see more of such large, global changes during our lifetime. Join us for this session as we attempt to distil the impact of these trends in the Southeast Asia region, as we discuss about the focus of the post-pandemic economy across areas such as healthcare, logistics and supply chain resilience, and the digital economy which is taking place amidst some unique population, demographic and foreign direct investment trends in the region. How can insurers partner with companies better to manage the risks behind these trends?

Inside out – The Risk from Within

With his unique perspective over a long career in law enforcement, corporate investigations and consulting, Paul Jackson takes a different look at an enterprise’s most valuable resource – and perhaps its largest source of risk. In today’s pandemic world, disrupted by hybrid and remote work arrangements, the defence of an IT environment from threat actors becomes increasingly complex – exacerbated by new ways in which insiders and third parties can either unwittingly or maliciously expose an organisation to risk. Criminal ingenuity moves faster than the pace of security and this presentation will introduce some of the prevalent threats being faced by organisations throughout APAC.

Solutions to this growing problem are not easy. The presentation will cover options and technical solutions for managing an insider threat program (which also can address remote productivity monitoring) and the challenges of balancing this with a need to respect employee privacy. It will also cover third party risk and the complexity of managing relations in a secure manner. This will be supplemented with case studies and scenarios to underscore the messages.
