A discussion of Risk and Risk Management from the perspective of an Insurance company risk manager. Insurers provide products that help everyone to manage their risks. Here you will hear Dave Ingram and Max Rudolph, talk about the sorts of things that keep those insurance company risk managers up at night. Or at least they should.
Let's explore two foundational frameworks: First Principles, a bottom-up reductionist approach to strip problems down to fundamental truths and audit obsolete rules of thumb; and Systems Thinking, a holistic approach designed to capture dynamic feedback loops, hidden assumptions, and non-linear tipping points in complex environments. Learn how to diagnose which thinking approach to apply, when to transition from component analysis to systemic interaction, and how to translate complex causal dynamics into clear, actionable executive insights.

How to get more accurate, auditable answers from AI without burning through your compute budget on brute-force agents.
