For Ben Tan, Insurance Risk at QBE Insurance, the Reinsurance International Study Course (RISC) experience was very comprehensive.
“I can’t say that I wasn’t warned though, as the facilitators were not shy about emphasising the intensity of the program, which shouldn’t be taken lightly,” Tan shares.
Placing a successful reinsurance program
He says the annual four-day learning program, which combines hands-on group work, expert presentations and knowledge sharing, was also “a fantastic industry-wide networking opportunity”.
“That’s something that has been sorely missed with the virtual environments of recent years.”
Participants of RISC are grouped into syndicates and immersed in a real-life case study to design and test an optimal reinsurance program. Using physical tools, they are mentored by a syndicate adviser in a small group and must collaborate on the creation of the reinsurance program.
