Wheaton, Illinois, Dec. 19, 2005--"Executive Leadership:
Decision-Making in a Dynamic Environment" is the theme of the
2006 Annual
Conference of the American Association of Insurance Services
(AAIS). AAIS is a national advisory organization that develops
policy forms and rating information used by more than 600
property/casualty companies throughout the U.S. The conference,
scheduled for April 9-11 at The Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota, Florida,
is designed to provide information and guidance to property/casualty
executives facing growing demands to make more decisions, more
quickly, amid more uncertainty and complexity. To encourage
executives to bring members of their management teams, AAIS has
reduced the registration fee for two or more attendees per company.
The speakers include the following:
- Professor J. Edward Russo of Cornell University will
lead a half-day session on effective decision-making. Each
registrant will receive a complimentary copy of Russo's book
Winning Decisions: Getting It Right The First Time
(co-authored with Professor Paul Schoemaker of the Wharton
School.)
- Ernst Csiszar, president of the Property Casualty
Insurers Association of America (PCI), will address a range of
public decisions facing the industry.
- Matthew Josefowicz, manager of the global insurance
group for the research and consulting firm Celent, will speak on
the future of insurance technology.
- John Lucker, principal, and Jim Marino,
director, Deloitte Consulting, will speak on the growing use of
data mining and predictive analytics for underwriting small
commercial accounts.
Also, a panel of company executives is being formed to share
insights on decisions they have made to position their companies for
success. Additional speakers may be invited as the event approaches.
Social events at the conference include a golf outing at the
Legacy Golf Club in Bradenton, a spouse/guest tour of the Ringling
estate, and a closing reception and dinner at The Ritz-Carlton
Members Beach Club.
