During the live webinar, we will go back to basics, looking at the origins of BI, its purpose, insurance cover provided and unique features. By peeling back the layers, we will see what an interesting and worthwhile insurance product this is.

The FCA Test case showcased the range of different perceptions about the scope of disease cover. There are residual issues that are likely to litigate but we broadly know where we stand on the core issues. But misunderstandings about business extensions are not limited to disease covers – in particular, utility failure cover is provided generally on two fundamentally different bases (with a hybrid variant for good measure), threatens aggregation over a wide area if there were to be an extensive power outage, and would inevitably reveal misunderstandings about the extent to which the loss of internet sales might, or might not, be covered. In the light of the above, this session will explore aspects of a power outage scenario and highlight the potential for further disputes mirroring that over COVID-19.

Resilience is fundamental to good mental health and well-being, and success in business/work and life. Resilience is something that can be developed, to improve mental well-being and as a protective factor against mental ill-health. This session will explore how we can all develop resilience in ourselves and in our teams. This will include practical advice and tools to help you to build your own resilience and to use with your team, including how to set appropriate boundaries.
