Some interesting perspectives on the role of the NED from a recent BDO report BDO Professional Services Graham Handy Alexander Barnes https://lnkd.in/egZSZt2C

The annual State of the Market Forum is always one of the most popular iNED events. It provides the opportunity for delegates to hear direct from speakers who are key participants in the London Market or capital providers to it. This year's event takes place on Thursday 14 November in the Old Library at Lloyd's, starting at 4pm.   After a challenging period, the Market returned to robust profitability in 2023 and maintained this in the first half of 2024. However, this improved performance brings new challenges for NEDs as they look to engage with their executive teams to deliver the desired balance between profit and growth in a more competitive market place. These judgements need to be made in the context of continued geopolitical instability and the impact of changing weather patterns on the nature and frequency of natural catastrophe losses. At the same time, in their oversight role, NEDs need to take account of regulatory expectations and the role becoming more diverse and inclusive might have in attracting talent to their organisations.   We have asked our speakers Christopher Lay, Claire McDonald and Peter Yordán to address the developments they see which will significantly impact and shape the London Market in the near to medium term. They are purposely drawn from different sectors to give delegates the benefit of views with distinct perspectives. After hearing from each speaker, there will be a panel discussion with delegates having the opportunity to ask their questions. Book Now https://lnkd.in/dFnVEhc

Join us for the sixth of our 2024 Programme of iNED Forums   "Critical Actions for Boards Before and After a Cyber Incident"   October is Cyber Awareness Month! Managing and mitigating Cyber Risk now sits high on Board priorities as business models have become more reliant on information technology and the threats from bad actors have become ever more apparent. In parallel, regulatory expectations have risen sharply, both in terms of data protection and operational resilience. Today, it is more a case of when rather than if a Board will need to respond to a cyber incident. In this Forum our speakers will examine the nature of cyber risk, the role of Boards in preparing for a cyber event, and potential strategies for managing incidents once they occur. We will hear from Matt Broomhall, Chief Information Security Officer at Lloyd’s as well as a speaker from Cyber Griffin, established in 2017 by the City of London Police.
