The current economic crisis confronts insurance companies with two major challenges that emphasize the importance of both leadership and management skills as well as technical expertise in the industry.

What skills are needed now?

To stay ahead of the competition, insurers will need to ensure they have access to the most highly skilled staff available, both at the executive board level and in areas such as financial risk management, innovative product development, underwriting, and technical risk assessment/modeling and multi-channel distribution strategy.
