Three fulfilling CPD events with CII Hong Kong: Feb 24 – 27, 2025

It was a privilege running these three seminars – three hours each – with a very diverse representation including some distinguished members of Hong Kong SAR insurance community. All exceptionally participative.

Well done Team CII HK for identifying two of the most challenging risks facing us today – Climate and AI – and pioneering to address these.

Day One at the Hong Kong Club facility

Post lunch with Alpha Ho (to my right) – Regional Corporate Development Manager HK & Asia Pac and Kenny Siu – Regional Director

Day Two with Ellen Ho – Regional Project & Membership Engagement Executive & Alpha Ho

Day Three with the go-getter Alpha Ho!

TGIF: At the CII HK office. Vincy Ho, Regional Operations and Engagement Manager – Hong Kong & Asia Pacific also here.

Key takeaways:

Compelling case for embedding Climate risk in mainstream insurance/ risk management theory and practice.

Urgent need for a serious course correction the way we educate and train insurance workforce.

Heartening to see the resolve of a broad spectrum of practitioners wrt Artificial Intelligence: Leverage it as and when necessary. Tap into natural intelligence as much as possible. In the growing noise, look for the signals.
