About this Workshop
Navigating the world of risk management and insurance? Join our workshop at RAW2023 where we'll offer a clear, straightforward breakdown of risk transfer strategies:
- Combining Commercial and Self-Insurance: We'll explore the balance between transferring risk via commercial insurance and retaining it through self-insurance, highlighting the benefits of integrating both.
- Local Governments & Natural Catastrophes: We'll use this real-world example to illustrate how various entities manage risk, providing insights that can be applied across sectors.
- Weighing the Costs: Dive into a practical discussion on the cost-effectiveness of insurance, considering different risk scenarios and their financial implications.
- Finding the Right Fit: Not all insurance solutions are one-size-fits-all. We'll discuss how to determine the best point for commercial insurance based on your organization's specific needs and financial health.
- Monte Carlo in Excel: We'll simplify Monte Carlo simulations for you, showing how you can use this method in Microsoft Excel to quantitatively analyze risk scenarios.
