16. Panel Discussion - The Risk Triangle: Who Truly Delivers Value When It Matters?
Corporate Risk Managers • Brokers • Insurers
In an era of climate volatility, cyber escalation, geopolitical fragmentation, and supply chain instability, risk transfer is only one part of the equation. Corporations are demanding predictability, clarity, and partnership, and not just policy placement. At the same time, insurers are recalibrating capital discipline, and brokers are redefining advisory roles.
When losses materialise, capacity tightens, or exclusions expand, where does real value emerge and where does it break down?
- Are corporates getting genuine strategic risk partnership — or simply more sophisticated transactions? Where do brokers and insurers meaningfully move the needle beyond pricing and placement?
- When markets harden or claims escalate, does alignment strengthen — or fracture? What structural changes are needed to improve transparency, accountability, and trust?
- How should the risk triangle evolve by 2030? Co-creation of solutions? Greater data sharing? Alternative risk structures? Shared long-term incentives?
