HDInsights Edition 7 2022

Ira Bronk from our Liability team also attended a Cyber training session at our HDI head office this quarter returning with new expertise in this rapidly evolving and complex area. HDI Education and this Edition Although we are delighted to meet again in-person, our Lunch and Learn series continues to provide our broker community with valuable insights from our expert team. If you missed these important sessions, you can read about the highlights in this issue. In August our panel discussed Insurance Innovation . This was an especially timely topic as several mega trends evolved during the pandemic, namely remote work, artificial intelligence, cyber assets and a shared economy. The insurance industry needs to adapt to these trends with new products and services. Learn more on page 9. In September, the panel focused on Risk Engineering and Resilience . For clients to get the best out of their insurance programs, they need to include risk engineering. Risk consulting services support successes meaning revenue growth, reputation and market share. HDI Global does that by sharing industry specific loss experiences and practical loss prevention advice. Our aim is to build long-term resilience rather than just current compliance as our team explained during the session. Learn more on page 13.
