“We developed the Risk Analyzer Suite to help organizations navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected risk landscape,” said Sean Rider, New York area-based head of risk analytics, North America at Aon. Recognizing the need for greater clarity and data-driven decision-making, Mr. Rider said, “We integrated advanced modeling tools and analytics platforms that engage clients in exploring their exposure, quantifying their risk and performance-testing their options.” In essence, the suite offers quantitative analytics within a decision-making framework. Since its launch, the platforms have helped more than 1,000 clients improve their risk outcomes and deliver cost savings. Analyzers for property risk, casualty risk, directors and officers liability and cyber risk offer insights to brokers and their clients and align risk strategies with their clients' priorities, Mr. Rider said. The property risk analyzer is a digital application for assessing risk and optimizing a property insurance program. It gives Aon broking teams the technical capability to give clients “an improved understanding of risk tolerance, optimized insurance programs and reduced total cost of risk.” For casualty, the suite offers a digital platform designed to help buyers navigate their potential for catastrophic risk, understand their total cost of risk and identify their optimal insurance program. The D&O risk analyzer delivers real-time, quantifiable insights for strategic discussions at the highest levels of decision-making, Mr. Rider said. By simulating probable exposures and loss scenarios, it allows for testing of insurance options and supports data-driven decisions that protect directors, officers and organizations. Involving more experts helps financial leaders and risk managers evaluate risk scenarios, shifting the focus from cost to calculated value. This leads to more productive discussions and better alignment of corporate priorities, Mr. Rider said. The ability to make better decisions translates complex risks into clear, actionable insights for risk and financial leaders. Clarity promotes the alignment of key decisions and improves overall decision-making. The suite speaks to the needs of finance executives who are focused on risk and facing significant uncertainty driven by the convergence of complex risks across trade, technology, weather and workforce, he said.
