CPD Lunchtime Webinar - Under Pressure: Global Threats, UK Consequences

What are the global threats facing the insurance industry right now and how are these impacting the UK - can they be insured, should they be insured and how can we adapt to survive?

Today war, weather extremes and the cost of living crisis dominate public debate but the sector faces critical risks – cyber/AI/tech, climate change and human talent.  How can we effectively tackle and respond to any of them?

Cyber is in the news all the time with companies and government on the lookout for massive show stoppers (M&S, Co-op and JLR to name three big ones!) including potential catastrophic interference with our democratic processes as we see with deep fakes.

In addition, with half of us due to retire within the next 15 years, why is there a failure to attract and retain the right talent and what can we and the CII do about it?  Further, it is also clear that insurers simply can’t underwrite the effects of climate change, so what will then happen?  And are chat bots here to help or hinder??

This will be an interactive and wide-ranging talk and those attending will be actively encouraged to contribute with their own experiences and views.
