Course Overview

The audit trail behind insurance product pricing models matters as much as the decision itself. Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of pricing models. The course covers this aspect of financial and banking practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Practitioner evidence points the same way: insurance product pricing models improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the wider financial and banking practice agenda rather than to abstract argument. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to pricing models in an order their organisation can absorb. The programme suits teams tackling insurance product pricing models together as readily as individuals attending alone. Plans for pricing models often fail at the handover point between functions. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of financial and banking practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
