ReAction is a world-class strategic simulation designed for reinsurance training. In the simulation participants are introduced to The State of Adversity, a fictional country exposed to a range of risks, where they work on behalf of an insurance company to manage the reinsurance programme.
Participants work as both cedants and reinsurers to place and underwrite reinsurance business. Participants learn and practice the key principles of reinsurance underwriting in an engaging simulated real-life environment, focussing on capacity, profitability, negotiation, and reflection.
Run face-to-face or remotely, this simulation is based on a realistic business environment and utilises real-world data, albeit simplified to maximise learning. Participants will gain knowledge about reinsurance treaty structures, and be able to confidently manage and analyse underwriting and operational information, including historical data, risk profiles, exposures, PML scenarios, claims experience and profitability by line of business. This in turn will lead them to make effective decisions based on information analysis, including the competitive environment and market trends.
Success is measured against both financial and nonfinancial performance measures, including the ability to build a balanced portfolio of risks which provides opportunities for profitable growth throughout the reinsurance cycle.
