Sustainable Investing, ESG and the Insurance Industry: the Tide is Coming In (FAST)
Credits: None available.
One of the most significant and at times controversial trends in the investment management industry today relates to sustainable investing and the application of ESG factor analysis (Environmental, Social, Governance). At center stage is the US insurance industry, from both investment and regulatory standpoints. On both fronts, levels of even partial integration are well behind our international peers, whether it be reinsurers in Europe, the globally minded International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) or those simply embracing the United Nation's more aspirational Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI). With trends so irreversible and the US so lagging, it begs the question of how did we get here, where and how fast are we going, and what benefits insurance companies would realize with even partial adoption of the basic principles?

From Conceptualization to Visualization with Actionable Data
Credits: None available.
Anyone can make a pretty bar graph, but can you make sound decisions based on that graph? Is it actionable, or is it only a concept? How do you turn flashy concepts into actionable visualizations? Can you see the end result of those concepts; will they ever become reality? Do you have the vision and drive to figure out how to get from today to tomorrow before it becomes yesterday? American mathematician John Tukey once said, "The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see." What value do you see in your data? And what ideas do you have when you see it? Learn how you can capitalize on your ideas and turn them into reality by blending internal with external, leveraging them into a cohesive strategy for both the short term AND the long term. See the five "Stages of the Spectrum" in action while discovering the difference between impact and influence, and how that difference plays into making data actionable.
