"Moral Minefields: Ethical Conversations from Dark Places"
|
What’s so good about being ethical? Traditionally, the field of management and organizational research has paid great attention to the role (and apparent importance) of ethics in the workplace. However, the majority of what is known about why and indeed how people perform ethical behaviors is derived from our understanding of traditional white-collar occupations and the assumption that ethics actually has a positive contribution to the workplace. But what if it doesn’t? What if your work involves (or even requires!) an absence of ethical behavior? Do the same moral boundaries apply? Can there be an ethics of the unethical?

Session 1A: Terrorism Modeling Overview - Challenges & Opportunities |
Terrorism is difficult to insure – it involves a rapidly changing global threat environment and the risk is often highest in areas where the exposure base is highest (big cities), making it difficult to diversify. To price the risk, and model terrorism scenarios, and monitor exposure accumulations, underwriters and portfolio managers use catastrophe models that simulate thousands of terrorist attacks and measure their damages. Since 2001, the terrorism insurance market has grown to an estimated $3 billion in direct written premiums and most large insurers use these models to some extent. This course covers the discipline of terrorism modeling, the scientific underpinnings of the models, and their application in the insurance and reinsurance sectors. |
Session 1B: Investigating and Defending Catastrophic Automobile Events |
This presentation will provide insight on when employers may be found vicariously liable, and instances where the employer may be found liable for negligent hiring, negligent entrustment, and failure to adequately train and supervise. Insurance professionals can learn from actual accidents involving trucks and buses, which offer significant opportunity for the plaintiffs’ bar, as injuries relating to these accidents are frequently catastrophic and negative evidence concerning company practices can be very damaging, leading to large recoveries. This interactive session will address the need to establish best practices, the transient nature of the physical evidence, the use of technology, including drones, and defense strategies, to name a few, all with the goal of early resolution. |
Session 2A: Risk Management and Insurance Issues for Green Buildings |
Green buildings have become mainstream for both new construction and renovation of existing buildings. This session will highlight the current sate of the art green building coverages and review the new sets of risks and variations of existing property and general liability risks that green buildings and sustainable operations entail. |
Session 2B: Insuring Unmanned Aircraft Systems |
This presentation will serve as a general introduction to Unmanned Aircraft Systems and will discuss the unique risks that risk presented by this new technology. The presentation will cover the historical background of unmanned aircraft, the current FAA regulations that govern their operation, the types of insurance coverages available today and specific exposures that pose unique risks. |
