Panelists will not only discuss the lessons learned from recent events, but also modeling lessons risk professionals at insurance and financial firms may be able to learn from other industries.

This session is one of four general sessions at the ERM Symposium focused on educating senior management with the tools to build a strong cross-disciplinary ERM framework. At the 7^th annual ERM Symposium, participants will explore new ERM strategies to create systematic value and competitive advantage through effective risk and capital management.
