Brokerslink

We've reached that wonderful time of the year ⭐ It's a time for switching off and spending time with loved ones, reflecting on the year ahead, and excitedly planning everything you'd like to achieve in 2025. For us, 2024 was a very special year, our 20th anniversary, and a celebration of the friends and colleagues who have made Brokerslink what it is today. Looking back, we've enjoyed many highlights together. Meeting in person in cities all over the world, strengthening relationships and forging new partnerships, welcoming new Partners and Affiliates to our global community and continuing our mission to provide an alternative to global broking. But we've also shared moments of sadness. In April, we mourned the passing of our dear friend Jorge Luzzi, a loss deeply felt across the network. As we near the end of 2024, the entire Brokerslink team would like to thank the people who have shaped our year, and we look forward to sharing more moments together in 2025. Enjoy this look back at a fantastic 20th anniversary year and happy holidays from us all💗 #Risk #Insurance #RiskManagement #GlobalBroking #Community

The ART of risk transfer... 🎨 Brokers have always had to deploy their creative skills to find effective solutions for complex risks, but participants at our 5th Risk Managers Forum in Abu Dhabi believe Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) solutions could be better deployed by the industry as risks become even more complex and interconnected. The complexity of risk in an era of what Maurizio Castelli refers to as "polycrisis" demands a different risk transfer approach, and calls for the industry to develop more holistic solutions. Participating in our Forum, Loredana Mazzoleni Neglén agreed: "I think the insurance industry needs to work together, upskill and embrace this holistic approach".

🤖 AI... a powerful tool, but humans MUST be kept in the loop. Whilst most risk professionals believe that AI could enhance risk management efforts, experts on stage at our Global Conference in Abu Dhabi urged caution, highlighting bias and data quality as potential risks of an over-reliance on technology. Our speakers, Maurizio Castelli, Manuel Padilla, Ole Ohlmeyer and Shane Keating agreed that though the technology is clever, and becoming ever-more sophisticated, human analytical skills will be vital to ensure the best results. 📢 “Whatever a model says, if you don’t apply the human touch you will face problems and potentially draw the wrong conclusions.” - Ole Ohlmeyer 📢 “AI is just a tool, and like many other tools, it can be very beneficial if used wisely, but it will always need to be manned.” - Maurizio Castelli 📢 “If we lull ourselves into a false sense of comfort believing AI is going to tell us exactly what needs to be done... I think that is dangerous.” - Manuel Padilla 📢 “It is vital that AI’s outputs are transparent and traceable to build trust.” Click through to read Commercial Risk's excellent write-up of this session! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eeEE4Tse #AI #Data #Technology #Risk #Insurance AUGUSTAS Risk Services | Ardonagh Analytics Lab | Swiss Re Corporate Solutions | MacAndrews & Forbes

Focus sur... Inclusive Guarantee Groupe 🔎 Spotlight on... Inclusive Guarantee Groupe 🔎 In October we were proud to welcome Inclusive Guarantee to our growing global community. Inclusive Guarantee is a highly specialised broker operating across Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali, and Burkina Faso, and is focused on agriculture risks and microinsurance. The team is on a mission to make insurance accessible for all, actively working to close the considerable protection gap that exists across the African regions and allow people excluded from traditional insurance systems to benefit from insurance coverage adapted to their needs. We asked Papa Abdourahmane BERTHE to share his thoughts on joining the network: "La diversité des risques sur les marchés africains requiert une approche différente de celles adoptées dans le reste du monde. Nos équipes ont consacré plus d'une décennie à la conception et au perfectionnement d'une approche technologique au service des clients qui, autrement, ne seraient pas en mesure d'obtenir les couvertures dont ils ont besoin. Nous sommes fiers de rejoindre Brokerslink et nous nous réjouissons de pouvoir aider son réseau de courtiers indépendants à explorer de nouvelles façons de protéger les clients de la région." ENG: "The diversity of risks in African markets requires a different approach from those adopted in the rest of the world. Our teams have dedicated more than a decade to designing and perfecting a technological approach to serve clients who would otherwise be unable to obtain the coverage they need. We are proud to join Brokerslink and look forward to helping its network of independent brokers explore new ways to protect clients in the region." 📖 Learn more about our new affiliate here: https://lnkd.in/eyBYUeN9 #Microinsurance #Agriculture #Insurance #Africa
