Cybercrime is a significant and growing problem for businesses of all sizes. Using publicly available data, we will be showing how your business or employer might not be as secure as you think it is. Using our own cyber risk assessment tools, we will highlight how you can protect your own businesses from cybercrime and in turn support your clients in being more cyber secure.

The past 12 months has seen a watershed moment for terrorism insurance in the UK, with the extension of the Pool Re scheme to cover terrorist events that do not involve damage to property. Pool Re will explain the background to this important change, the changes to the contemporary threat that necessitated the amendment to coverage and why policyholders should buy cover. We will also examine the wider threat and insurance landscape in addition to the work we are doing on risk management and mitigation.

Telematics and the connected car have disrupted the automotive market for the last decade.  This session will provide an overview of what telematics actually means, the benefits to both the consumer and the insurer and why telematics is so high on the industry’s agenda; but we will look at this with a healthy dose of reality.  In this session, LexisNexis Risk Solutions will look at the social impact of telematics and the achievements in the young-driver market through “black box” monitoring systems.  Drawing upon these findings we will ask whether there is now justification for telematics to go beyond young drivers.  This presentation will focus on new rating information provided by telematics and real-time car connectivity, as well as the opportunities ad challenges this will create.  Finally, the session will cover the next steps that are required in the insurance industry in order to take the use of telematics to a wider market.  What has been missed?  What are the risks of not doing so?

The last two year have seen an increase in natural catastrophe activity and the costs (both economic and insured) associated with these events have grown.  There is also increased focus on the impact of climate change on the frequency and severity of events.  It is of growing importance that insurers understand their exposure.  This presentation will focus on the cycle of pricing, analysing, and responding to natural catastrophe events.

There is intelligence in emotion and intelligence can be brought to emotion. Emotional intelligence is about being smart with your feelings – combining your thinking with your feelings to make good quality decisions and build authentic relationships.

Emotional intelligence enables people and organisations to optimise performance, culture and innovation. Successful leaders will use their emotional intelligence to generate creative ideas harnessing the brain’s potential for innovation and insight. They do this through creating the right environment, climate and culture.

This interactive session is designed to give you practical strategies and tools that bring emotional intelligence to life. In this session, Robin will explore how emotions affect learning and how they can be used to increase creative insight engaging you in practical activities that have proved effective in training programmes with global leaders.
