Being looped in late on key design decisions that impact project velocity and compliance completeness
The situation this course is for
Project leads often find themselves adapting to decisions made in silos, vendor selections locked in without consulting implementation risk, or data architecture finalised before control implications are tested. This creates rework, delays, and misalignment across audit, actuarial, and IT functions.
Who this is for
Senior Project Managers in financial services leading or co-leading IFRS 17 initiatives with cross-functional stakeholders
Who this is not for
Individuals not involved in IFRS 17 delivery, or those whose role is limited to status reporting without input into technical or vendor decisions
What you walk away with
- Lead influence in vendor selection discussions with actuarial and finance teams
- Shape architecture choices in early design phases of IFRS 17 systems
- Drive consensus on control mappings with audit and compliance stakeholders
- Build documented rationale for key implementation trade-offs
- Become the go-to practitioner for resolving scope conflicts in IFRS 17 projects
