This talk:

• Highlights effective strategies to jump the gap to new technologies
• Illustrates practices that provide contingency for future technical growth 
• Introduces the concept of “technical debt” and how you can best manage it

Update on renewal pricing outcomes for Property and Casualty markets at the latest 1/1 reinsurance renewals.

The focus will be on capacity availability and price drivers.  These issues include but are not limited to the cat bond market, wider trends in claims outcomes, trends in Casualty RI space that affect pricing such as social inflation, yield curve and the reserving cycle.
