Risk managers spending more time on emerging risks, claim issues, and contract reviews

According to the results of Lockton’s 2018 Risk Management Survey, the challenges facing the risk management community continue to evolve. Risk managers must not only must keep up with the increased complexities of existing risks but are also facing difficult questions from senior leadership around emerging global risks. These challenges are demanding new skill sets, including an increasingly nuanced understanding of operations, finance and technology. More importantly, the techniques and approaches that worked in the past will not necessarily be sufficient to address today’s challenges. Risk managers need new tools, ideas and coverages as well as a broker willing to act as a true extension of their team.

Lockton Companies’ 2018 Risk Management Survey gathered responses from a broad cross-section of risk managers, representing publicly traded companies, privately held organizations, non-profits and public entities.

While risk managers are being challenged to support

strategic initiatives, develop a broad range of skill

sets, and work across many internal disciplines, most

respondents state day-to-day activities such as claims

management and contract reviews still consume

considerable bandwidth.

Where are risk managers focusing?

WHAT KINDS OF ISSUES LAND ON YOUR DESK FREQUENTLY?

WHAT SKILLS ARE YOU EXPECTED TO HAVE TO PERFORM YOUR DUTIES?

Conclusion

Some of the tasks that risk professionals indicate are taking up more of their time also require new or improved skill sets. For example, risk managers are being asked to solve increasingly complex business issues dealing with supply chain, technology, brand impairment and business interruption. Many of these challenges fall outside or between the traditional coverage silos and require unique approaches or strategies. Contract reviews, accrual discussions and M&A due diligence also require risk managers to improve their finance, accounting and legal acumen. Additionally, claim resolution has become increasingly complex and time consuming.

Other issues that respondents cited include loss control, safety, security, and cyber security.

The survey found several trends. For example:

� Risk managers from all companies emphasized the need for continuing education.

� Risk managers with oversight or responsibility for their organization’s enterprise risk management are 3X more likely to deal with uninsurable risks.

� Among respondents from publicly traded companies, risk managers are spending an equal amount of time dealing with claims and uninsurable risks.

� Privately held companies were most focused on due diligence.

� Risk managers from public entities emphasized safety as a necessary skill about twice as often as risk professionals from other organizations.

Conclusion

When risk managers were asked where in their risk management program they would spend more time if they had it, the length of their experience made a difference. The majority of those with more than 15 years of experience said they would spend more time on administrative excellence like written processes, procedures, and well-defined key performance indicators. They also would spend more time building external relationships with underwriters, brokers, and other risk managers. The majority of those with less than 15 years of experience, said they would spend more time building internal relationships.

On relationship building, those respondents with more than 15 years experience said they would spend more time or resources on building external relationships with underwriters, brokers, and other risk managers.

Respondents who had more experience tended to be more likely to have oversight over workers’ compensation claims. 72% of respondents with at least 15 years experience reported oversight for workers’ compensation claims. Among risk managers with less than five years’ experience, only 43% had workers’ compensation claim oversight.

Larger companies responding to the survey tended to have larger risk management departments. Among those with $8 billion or more in revenues, 43% had at least six risk management department staff. Among those with less than $1 billion in revenues, 58% had a risk management department with no more than two staff members.

More than 40% of respondents use year-over-year comparative results as a key metric for managing risks. Respondents most often citing TCOR as their key metric were privately held, had 15 or more years in risk management, and had revenues exceeding $1 billion.

Observations of a risk manager’s role

Decisions on protecting the balance sheet

What areas of insurance buying

are the most difficult for you?

What resources do you rely on to protect your balance sheet?

What criteria are most important in selecting an underwriting

partner?

� Coverage.

� Limits/protection.

� Pricing.

� Retention.

� Carrier selection.

� Historical claim activity.

� Broker analytics/advice.

� Peer benchmarks.

� Worst-case scenario events.

� Board/C-suite mandates.

� ERM committee.

� Financial strength.

� Customization.

� Stability.

� Price.

� Brand.

Conclusion

In order of priority, survey respondents indicated that the most important resources they rely on to protect their organization’s balance sheet were: historical claim data, broker advice and analytics, peer benchmarks, and worst-case scenarios.

Internal guidance, such as C-suite and board mandates and the ERM committee, ranked below these. This may suggest, in part, a disconnect between the Board or ERM committee and risk management.

Among the top challenges in insuring risk were coverage and limits/protection. For public companies, coverage was identified as more difficult to buy than limits. For privately held companies, coverage and limits were cited as equally difficult. Large companies, or those with $8 billion or more in revenue, had the most difficulty with coverage and the least difficulty with carrier selection.

Variables which respondents deemed most important in selecting an underwriting partner were, in descending order: financial strength, customization, stability, and price. Across organizations of all sizes, brand was the least important variable.

When selecting an underwriting partner, respondents deemed financial strength, customization, stability, and price the most important variables.

As expected, larger companies generally have larger risk management departments. The relationship, however, is not always strictly linear. Staffing levels remain between two to five people and are generally evenly distributed for companies up to about $5B in annual revenues. Companies above $5B in annual revenues tend toward larger departments (greater than six), given their complexity of risk. It should be noted, however, risk managers at all companies look to their broker partners to significantly expand their backroom capabilities. Larger staffs also tend to be functionally aligned and offer more specialization while smaller teams are typically responsible for a wider variety of tasks.

C-Suite’s primary question which wasn’t being asked 1-2 years ago: How does our insurance program respond to a cyber event?

� Risk managers with 15+ years experience were primary selectors of the “other” category.

Most risk managers reported that claims management still takes up a significant portion of their time. While there has been a trend toward more complex litigation, routine Workers Compensation claims continue to account for the bulk of claims activity. Seventy-two percent of respondents with at least 15 years’ experience reported that they had oversight for workers comp claims. Further, in an era of expense management, risk managers are also being asked to justify WC resources such as safety and claims management staff. Analytics and benchmarking offer new tools to highlight improvements and opportunities

� A few interesting recent questions from “other.”

z How do we reduce volatility for accrual adjustments?

z Impact of diabetes on workers’ compensation claims?

z Why have our claim costs become unpredictable?

z Captive and tax jurisdictions?

z How are our fine arts holdings protected?

Those with 15+ years of risk management experience were much more likely to have responsibility for workers’ compensation claims

Respondents which have oversight/responsibility for ERM are almost three times more likely or less likely to deal with uninsurable risk matters as those without ERM oversight.

Private versus publicly traded

� Privately held companies were least likely to select uninsurable risk matters, and selected due diligence as the third most frequent issue.

� Publicly traded selected claims and uninsurable risk matters about the same.

If given the opportunity, respondents with more experience would spend their time and resources differently than those with less

Perhaps unsurprisingly, responses here varied by type of company and the respondents’ experience level. Among those with 10+ years of experience, the majority said they would spend more time or resources on administrative excellence, including the development of written processes, procedures and KPIs. Conversely, those with <10 years experience said they would focus on increasing their knowledge of business operations and risk identification.

Those with >4 years experience meet with senior management more frequently to discuss risk/insurance

In order of priority, survey respondents indicated that the most important resources they rely on to protect their organization’s balance sheet were: historical claim data, broker advice and analytics, peer benchmarks, and worst-case scenarios. Internal guidance, such as C-suite and board mandates and the ERM committee, ranked below these. This may suggest, in part, a disconnect between the ERM committee and risk management. In many organizations, ERM is heavily weighted toward financial or strategic risks, with the committee run by internal audit or the General Counsel. The risk manager may only be involved on the periphery. Similarly, the responses suggest a potential communication gap between risk managers and a Board of Directors that is becoming increasingly concerned about risk. Both situations present a significant opportunity for risk managers to elevate their profiles within their organization and explain / validate strategies to manage key exposures.

Financial strength and stability are most important variables sought in an underwriting partner

Variables that respondents deemed most important in selecting an underwriting partner were, in descending order: financial strength, customization, stability and price. Across organizations of all sizes, brand was the least important variable. Given today’s soft market conditions, most risk managers agreed that there is ample capacity for almost any exposure and carrier selection is not a major concern.

41% of respondents say risk assessment is global rather than US centric

LOCKTON ADVANTAGE

Connecting your business goals to risk management objectives

The competitive demands and time constraints confronting your business today are unrelenting. These demands place an increased value on sound strategic advice. Change is occurring at an accelerated pace, and it is impacting your objectives and the spectrum of risks your company faces.

Evolving your insurance, risk finance and risk management strategy — and creating alignment with the overall business strategy — is a clear differentiator and is imperative for any trusted strategic advisor. Lockton has designed a unique and valuable process, Lockton Advantage, that fosters a deep understanding of your business and industry segment. This understanding allows our team to design a coordinated and effective strategy that is aligned with your business.

Step 5: Achieve better results

Accountability is established through defi ned roles and measurable objectives. This all adds up to help you achieve better results that specifi cally address your challenges.

Our best practices and proven expertise help you achieve better results through strategies that are specifi cally designed for your challenge.

Accountability is established through defi ned roles and measurable objectives, moving forward with a personalized action plan. It’s not “one size fi ts all”; it’s “one fi ts you.”

Step 3: Gain knowledge

Step 2: Transform dataStep 1: Request, collect and clean data

It is crucial to select the right data. Lockton has a robust data collection and verifi cation process. This step helps ensure a “quality in, quality out” result.

Lockton invests in a robust collection and verifi cation process with direct access to third-party administrator (TPA) and carrier systems. This step delivers a “quality in = quality out” approach.

While the data describes “what” is happening, Lockton’s process takes it further to understand “why” it’s happening. We challenge perceptions and use information to uncover root causes.

Engagement with the client is critical. Insights are gleaned from actual observations in the business through collaboration between you, Lockton and your other partners.

We challenge perceptions and use the data and analytics to uncover the real causes to achieve more favorable outcomes.

Step 4: Apply wisdom

Lockton’s experts apply the insights gathered to develop a tailored road map specific to your company’s objectives and culture.

Lockton’s team of experts develops a tailored road map specifi c to your company’s operations and culture. The result: actionable strategies that lead to savings opportunities.

Many charts and graphs can be overwhelming. Our goal is to provide clear and focused insights to develop actionable strategies with measurable outcomes.

Digging through a wealth of data is where others often stop and make assumptions. Lockton takes it a step further by identifying trends or anomalies to uncover opportunities to get better.

This information depicts only “what” has happened, but it cannot stop here. Lockton makes our clients’ businesses better by identifying trends or anomalies that

create opportunities to answer their challenges.
