Course Description

This one-day course empowers executives to transition insurance from an expense item to a strategic asset, optimize broker performance and accountability, and align the risk transfer program with corporate objectives.

  • Leave with a Strategic Mandate to reset expectations with your risk team and brokers on Monday morning.
