2. IRM ERM in Insurance Special Interest Group Member Survey outcomes – Agenda for 2016 Date: 15 th September 2015 19 responses

3. Conclusions People value networking and benchmarking with peers. People want to hear from practitioners from industry. Less from consultants. Preference remains for 9.30am slot and every 6 weeks. People join IRM for Thought Leadership and networking. Needs to be easy to get to and a sensible length of time. Plan is attached, you can vote in the meeting. This is your last chance. We are looking for people to volunteer to speak. PLEASE COME FORWARD. Surveys need to be shorter and shared (they are with members). I will not be running surveys unless we improve response rate to above 25 – not worth the effort!
