Being siloed from strategic conversations despite owning critical operational inputs

The situation this course is for

High-performing operations professionals often deliver accurate reports that still fail to shift decisions, because they’re excluded from capital planning or risk appetite debates happening across legal, actuarial, or regional management teams.

Who this is for

Senior operational practitioner in a global insurance or financial services firm, responsible for governance inputs but not yet embedded in strategic capital or risk decision forums

Who this is not for

Entry-level analysts, external auditors, or consultants without direct influence on internal risk reporting frameworks

What you walk away with

  • Translate ORSA outputs into capital planning inputs used by regional and functional leaders
  • Lead alignment on risk appetite thresholds across underwriting, claims, and reinsurance teams
  • Deliver executive-grade narratives that stand without escalation or revision
  • Integrate regional risk profiles into a single consolidated view for leadership review
  • Position yourself as the go-to architect for ORSA-informed operational decisions
