Topic: "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once”
Industry leaders may sometimes feel they work in the chaos of the multiverse, in a risk landscape, where they are quickly popped into and out of different “risk universes”. Risk management and insurance professionals must jump from universes of new technologies, digital transformation, alternative capital, climate risk and catastrophes, geopolitical upheavals, and trade and supply chain challenges and then shift and adapt across different realities, helping their clients and their organizations thrive in an environment of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.
Our panelists of industry leaders will address this and provide examples on how manage a world of infinite variables, by embracing these this risk environment, innovating, transforming risk into opportunities, and leading with purpose.
