SUMMER SERIES - WINE AND CPD
Through the Grapevine: what wine can teach us about being a better communicator! About the session The characteristics of a good wine can teach us a lot about the characteristics of a good communicator. Each wine is unique in its character and so too is each person. However, there are common ingredients and methods that go in to producing the finished article, whether it be a good wine or a good communicator. Through tasting five different Spanish and Portugese wines, each with a unique character, this session will relate these characteristics to the five essential characteristics of a good communicator, from preparation through to execution of a message.

The disappointment of customers and the many policy disputes on business interruption coverage following the pandemic have illustrated that many insureds and some of their brokers did not understand the limitations of property damage/business interruption coverage. Cyber insurance policies are newer, less tested and arguably trickier to understand than property damage/business interruption policies so brokers and insurers must be able to clearly explain to customers the coverage and any limitations to the coverage to prevent similar policy disputes. The best way of doing this is to scenario test the policy wording with potential cyber scenarios so we can understand how the policies may respond.
