Deliverable 7 – Senior Risk Analyst Presentatio

/in /by

 

Competencies

  • Construct a framework for identifying, evaluating, and categorizing risk and risk management tools.
  • Appraise the relationship between a heightened regulatory environment and corporate governance.
  • Evaluate the components of operational risk and the application of corresponding risk management plans.
  • Evaluate the principles of risk and reward in the investment sector and its applications to the broader area of risk management.

Scenario

LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier that specializes in sports cars and motorcycles. This organization is owned by LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s single largest holding as it drives 70% of total revenue. Due to the inherent risk involved in that segment of the market, many of LTD Acceptance’s competitors do not offer policies for sports cars or motorcycles. This market segment is underserved which is why the organization has 20,000 active policies for a sports car or a motorcycle.

LTD is headquartered in Houston, TX. LTD does not sell insurance directly to the public. Instead, it uses third-party agents to sell its policies. LTD handles all customer service needs including claims intake, policy services, and general questions. The company operates in four states: California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Currently, LTD does not have an active system in place to ensure that its agents are in fact using LTD guidelines to screen potential policyholders. However, no evidence of negligence has emerged so far as the organization has yet to have a year in which it was not profitable. LTD has also had the good fortune of not suffering losses because of natural disasters or catastrophic events.

Instructions

You have been hired for the role of Senior Risk Analyst. This means that you are responsible for overseeing and managing the organization’s all risk management activities. Before you can design a plan to manage risks, your first task is to identify the primary risk exposures the organization should acknowledge. The organization is also concerned about threats to its operational efficacy. Therefore, you need to also identify operational risk exposures and explain why operational losses must be categorized. The board is also seeking your input on the relationship between risk and reward and how it pertains to the company’s investment portfolio. Your supervisor has asked you to create a PowerPoint presentation of your report. Remember your audience when crafting your presentation, and include the following slides:

  • Title slide
  • Evaluate the significance of identifying risks and address the ramifications of failing to do so.
  • Identify two insurance regulations and analyze their roles in managing risks within the insurance industry.
  • Identify the market, business, and compliance risks LTD encounters.
  • Explain why the operational losses cannot be broadly managed. Why do they have to be categorized?
  • Examine the relationship between risk and reward and how it pertains to investing.
  • Explain why effective financial management correlates with risk management.
  • Your conclusion slide should include at least three risk management activities relevant to insurance (and your rationale for choosing them specifically) and how they link to enhanced organizational effectiveness.

In our recent readings and videos, we’ve been hearing a lot of ideas about the relative balance–and impact–of personal perspective expressed in travel writing (i.e. writing that focuses on people/places outside of the author’s own home community). For instance, this week we saw Carl Thompson track a number of patterns that have historically influenced travel writing, including the inevitable impact of personal perspective, which he ultimately argues can be useful because it reveals certain assumptions–whether authorial or cultural–that we might not otherwise be aware of. On the other hand, Edward Said’s ideas about orientalism very specifically warn us about the ways that each “self” uses its own perspective to define “others”–often in ways that can be detrimental.

What do you think? Is it ok to express personal perspectives and/or opinions in writing that focuses on other people/places? If so, what are some ways of doing this kind of thing well, so as to avoid the kinds of problems that Said is worried about?

As your create your 150-200 word response, please be sure to include at least one quote/reference from our readings/videos this week

Visit its website, search for news stories about the product or service, and search social media for mentions of the business.  While you will not be able to learn everything about a      business’s strategy that an insider would know, you should be able to get a general idea of how the business operates and what the industry      environment is like. You MUST post the links to the materials you are drawing your information from as part of the DB.
  2. Next, in your post identify at least two the business’s main competitors. Explain how your chosen business differentiates its product or service from competitors’ offerings you have named. 
  3. Then, explain its competitive advantage, drawing on terms form this week’s reading materials. Do you think the advantage is sustainable?  Why or      why not?

Unit 3 Discussion: Greek Democracy (HIS101 World Civilization)

A democratic form of government first developed in the ancient city-state of Athens in the fifth century BCE. Why do you believe that democracy first began in Greece? What influence did the Athenian government have on the foundation of American democracy? When responding to classmates, provide additional and new research to support or disprove their position. Make sure to use proper APA format for all citations provided and include a reference list for the citations you use.

Unit 3 Discussion: Product Alignment and Brand Messaging (MKT200 Principles of Marketing)

Walt Disney created the Disney brand from humble beginnings based on his love of drawing and animation. Few brands monetize content better than the Walt Disney Company and has since expanded into a global entertainment and media brand, and recently, has a new leader at the helm.

Simulated Business Scenario

Gabriel is the executive in charge who created and developed Disney’s ‘customer-for-life’ concept.  This is based on the notion that as the child grows, Disney hopes to gain two brand loyalists: the parents and the child. 

Disney’s new CEO asked Gabriel to head up the new Disney+ streaming media brand. The CEO wants Gabriel to create a report which analyzes future marketing of the new Disney+ brand. You are on Gabriel’s team, and he called a series of meetings to brainstorm the three items:

Questions

  • How can Disney+ differentiate itself and all its franchises from competing rivals in the marketplace?
  • How can it expect to change and grow with their customers over time?
  • Can Disney+ be a loss leader to get more customers into its other monetization channels?

  • How would you change your lesson plan based on Vygotsky’s theory? 

Group Research Project #2

/in /by

Your group is to select a firm that is experiencing or emerging from significant economic, social, personal distress as a result of the fallout from COVID and the measures taken to combat it. You are writing as a member of a managerial economics consultancy (made up of you and the other class members assigned to you group) with no way of predicting the course of the virus, how long it and restrictions on business activities will last, or what the economic climate will be like in the future. Begin by providing a background and history of the firm and their place in the industry/economy they operate in. Historical information is to be brief – no more than a page. More important is their current status – but not the most important. The firm you are consulting for knows its history and is primarily interested in learning about what they can do in the present and near future – this is where the majority of your work should be. Detail the challenges they face at present and may encounter in the days ahead. Frame these challenges in the context of the real risks and uncertainties being dealt with. With the goal of helping the firm  to eventually reach a fully functioning and healthy, profitable state, you are to provide recommendations for what actions they should take to deal with these successfully. This is the core of the project and where the majority of your efforts are to be directed. These actions should be practical, achievable and clearly stated – no fuzzy, feel good notions allowed. The material should be based on what you gain from sound industry/firm/economic/societal research and the application of a broad range of concepts and theories covered in this course, with more from economics and other relevant areas added at your discretion. Do not select business that are currently successful, like Google, Facebook, Home Depot etc. Find one that is of interest to your group that is experiencing real distress and may not survive. Do not use the same firm as another group from your class (you will need to check with each other). Do not use any work from previous classes or individuals (your own or others). Material in this Research Project is to be current – as in up to today if possible – with a clear focus on what can be done in the days ahead. The final product is to be a 12-15 page report in APA submitted here as a word document, with all sources referenced. One group member may submit per group, so long as all group members are listed. The 12-15 pages does not include a cover page or references and any charts, graphs, pictures etc. can be put in an appendix. This is due by the end of the last day of the residency. The format is mostly up to you, with the qualifier that it serve the interests of firms needing paths of action that enable them to survive and prosper. To that end, do not use SWOT etc. forms that are not suited to the specifics of the present and near future. The Project is due by the end of the Residency.

Assignment: Assessing and Treating Patients With ADHD – 5 pages

/in /by

Assignment: Assessing and Treating Patients With ADHD

Not only do children and adults have different presentations for ADHD, but males and females may also have vastly different clinical presentations. Different people may also respond to medication therapies differently. For example, some ADHD medications may cause children to experience stomach pain, while others can be highly addictive for adults. In your role, as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, you must perform careful assessments and weigh the risks and benefits of medication therapies for patients across the life span.
