An audience with: Julian James, CII president

2011-11-25-post-qa-cii-final-84

Next year sees the Chartered Insurance Institute celebrate the centenary of its being granted a Royal Charter. But far from sitting back and reflecting on past glories, the CII is determined to use its anniversary year to tackle the big issues set to impact the industry over the next 100 years.

From environmental risks and health advances to technology developments and economic challenges, the CII will - together with Post - use the next 12 months to address and debate the risks and opportunities that will doubtless arise over the decades to come.

The charter makes clear that the CII has a requirement to "promote efficiency and improvement in the practice of insurance among persons engaged or employed in that activity" and "to render the conduct of such business more effective and professional".

Without taking time to think ahead and explore the issues just over the horizon, the CII's ability to bolster that efficiency and improvement of practice would be weakened. This has compelled the institute to undertake a year-long programme of activities and events to address the issues of tomorrow today.

To mark the launch of the Great Debate on Future Risk: Covered, Post editor Lynn Rouse speaks to Julian James, CII president and CEO of Lockton International, to find out more about the thinking behind the Future Risk theme.
