Risk management in an insurance company is a governance discipline before it is a technical one. This intensive two-day executive programme examines best-practice governance and risk management in insurers — from the ISO 31000 international standard through the full risk universe insurance companies face: strategic, operational, insurance, reserving, credit, liquidity, market, reputational, compliance and legal — and follows the implications through to capital management. The cohort works through setting risk appetite and tolerance, writing the risk management policy and strategy, managing risk culture, and linking appetite to operational control, with the role of stress testing in insurance organisations examined throughout.

Frequently asked
Do the programmes cover reinsurance and underwriting discipline?
Yes — the insurance curriculum includes advanced reinsurance, underwriting portfolio management, captives and alternative risk transfer, business interruption and specialty lines such as project cargo. Participants leave able to structure a reinsurance programme, steer an underwriting portfolio by its numbers, and price the risks their market actually writes.
Is there content on risk management and finance for insurers specifically?
Yes. Dedicated programmes cover market and liquidity risk management for insurers, enterprise risk management, running effective risk workshops, and finance for insurance professionals. The material is written for insurers’ balance sheets, not adapted from banking slides.
Can a programme be run privately inside our company?
Yes. Every BIZENIUS programme is available in-house, tailored to your lines of business, your market and your regulatory context, in English or French. Insurers often use private editions to put underwriting, claims and risk teams through the same casework together.
In which languages and formats do the insurance programmes run?
English and French, in classroom, live virtual and hybrid formats. BIZENIUS delivers from Dubai and Bangalore and on client sites, having served 150+ client organisations across 45+ countries on four continents.
