The main purposes of this three-day virtual seminar is to:

1. Prepare attendees for active engagement in the ERM process within an organization by discussing real world approaches to ERM as practiced by companies.
2. Increase participants’ understanding of ERM processes, tools, and techniques through lectures, hands-on case studies, and role-playing.

This seminar will involve both lectures and hands-on applications through four ERM case studies (“mini-cases”). Participants will work in teams to complete technical exercises, and to role play and present their approaches to tackling various issues via the four mini-cases.

During the course, instructors will require participants to use their technical actuarial expertise in support of strategic decisions affecting risk and capital management. Participants will apply technical knowledge to real world strategic decision-making and think from the holistic viewpoint of an enterprise-wide officer. Additionally, the course will integrate actuarial science with financial economics, encouraging participants to consider risk/capital issues from a new perspective. For the mini-case work, participants will be required to bring their own laptop. Economic capital model output related to the mini-cases will be provided to registrants for downloading prior to the seminar.

Attendance is limited to a maximum of 20 participants. Attendees will be selected on a first registered, first accepted basis.
