Course Overview

Models supporting reinsurance and risk distribution fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. In finance the difference between a healthy position on risk distribution and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this area of financial and banking practice and prepares them for it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in reinsurance and risk distribution that were visible long before the incident. Ambition around this aspect of financial and banking practice outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. It suits anyone whose decisions touch risk distribution, in large organisations and small ones alike. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about reinsurance and risk distribution. It treats risk distribution as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of financial and banking practice sustainable.
