CommTech 2006 Forum Newsletter - JLT

Introduction
Introduction
Jardine Lloyd Thompson’s Global Communications & Technology Forum took place in
Lugano with risk managers participating in a programme developed together with our
clients – ten leading companies from the sector.
The changing landscape of risk and the shift from tangible to intangible has particular
relevance for communications and technology companies and this theme was the focus
for speakers and workshops.
Where does risk come from The pace of change that affected your risk landscape is
fast developing along with the frequency of events that act as an agent of change. It is
unlikely that the shift of risk from tangible to intangible areas will reduce in future and
you will have to rise to these challenges if businesses are to succeed.
In this newsletter leading experts examine this debate alongside the business and
insurance issues. Their articles cover specific issues regarding corporate governance,
supply chain management, catastrophe losses, cyberspace threats, contract certainty,
D&O as well as asset protection and innovative risk solutions from the capital markets.
