The executive challenge

The problem this program solves

Your risk register satisfies every supervisor who reads it, while the insurance exposures that could actually hurt the institution are not on it. Risk that is documented rather than governed is discovered in a crisis — at the highest possible price. This programme rebuilds insurance from the ground up: appetite that constrains decisions, architecture that anticipates shocks, and command that works under pressure.

Context

Why this matters now

The cost of insurance failure is repricing: one unmanaged event can consume years of control investment.
Cyber adversaries now target African institutions at industrial scale — insurance events are operating costs, not exotic risks.
Third parties and platforms now carry a rising share of insurance exposure while accountability stays with the board.

Capability

What you will be able to do

  • Design a insurance risk architecture that anticipates rather than documents.
  • Quantify insurance exposure in money — loss scenarios, tolerances and stress tests.
  • Rehearse the insurance response before it is needed — command, disclosure and coordination.
  • Lead insurance incident command when the organisation is under pressure.

The IPAT Course Standard

The five-day journey

Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.

IPAT Signature Case™

The Trader Who Offered to Win It Back

A star dealer at a national power utility has concealed mounting insurance losses through fictitious confirmations. The hole now threatens a quarter’s earnings; audit is close, and the dealer proposes a win-back plan.

Your decision: Decide exposure, escalation and sequence: what the board, the regulator and the market hear — and in what order.

IPAT Data Lab™

The insurance incidents at a mining group are individually small and collectively serious — and no one has connected them.

Dataset: Synthetic multi-year incident, near-miss and control data for a mining group.

Your task: Build the heat map, test the tolerances, and write the 4 a.m. command card for the top exposure.

A insurance heat map, impact tolerances and an incident command card.

Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
