Airmic unveils ERM Forum in November
Airmic, the UK based insurance and risk management association, is set to host an enterprise risk management (ERM) forum on November 11 in London.
It is the first dedicated major event on the topic that the association has ever held.
Several senior business leaders are expected to take, including Hans Læssøe, senior director of risk management at Lego, and Colin Campbell, head of risk management at Arcadia, who are already booked to lead masterclass case studies.
The topics covered in the forum are risk culture, crisis management, people risk, risk appetite, risk maturity and innovation.
Julia Graham, deputy chief executive officer of Airmic, said: “Although Airmic is already recognised as a thought leader when it comes to ERM, much of our work in this area has been with smaller groups. With this Forum we intend to widen the discussion, especially to our members.”
“Our talks with FTSE chairmen, as well as feedback from risk managers, indicate that boards are keener than ever for a focus on risk, something we are uniquely placed to support. Furthermore, it is our view that all Airmic members will benefit from a wider understanding of risk, regardless of their job titles. It will help in their jobs today and support their careers as we move into the so-called fourth industrial revolution.”
The forum is expected to attract 150 people and will include an exhibition of risk management service suppliers. Airmic expects to announce the full line-up in July.
