  1. WHARTON EXECUTIVE EDUCATION PROPOSAL FOR COLLABORATION with INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INSURANCE SUPERVISORS (IAIS) AND THE WORLD BANK for THE INSURANCE SUPERVISION PROJECT October 17, 2005

  2. OBJECTIVES OF TODAY’S MEETING To discuss Wharton’s proposal for design and delivery of an integrated educational solution for the IAIS membership that addresses the needs for programs for Insurance Supervisors and Regulators

  3. PROPOSED AGENDA • Introduction and Meeting Objectives • Our Understanding of the Program Rationale • How Wharton can Contribute • Program Structure: Academic Committee, Elements, Structure, Design • Proposed Pricing Structure • Key Issues • Appendix

  4. OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROGRAM RATIONALE • 13,000 insurance supervisors and regulators active globally in the profession and many come from different educational backgrounds without formal training in insurance supervision • According to a World Bank/IMF study, insurance supervision is one of the weakest links in regulation and supervision, urgent need to build supervisory capacity within the sector • Rapid changes in the professional environment • World Bank’s survey of the training/ learning marketplace in insurance: existing programs do not meet the needs

  5. OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROGRAM RATIONALE • The International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS), and the World Bank Financial Sector Vice Presidency (FSE) combined forces to launch a project to develop a Core Curriculum on Insurance Supervision • IAIS and The World Bank could benefit by partnering with a leading global academic institution that would support their continuing efforts by building upon the basic design that has been created • Partner should have strong academic expertise and research capabilities in the areas of Insurance and Risk Management

  6. OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROGRAM RATIONALE • IAIS and The World Bank need support in the design, development and delivery of educational programs for three distinct target audiences: • Junior level supervisors • Middle level supervisors • Senior level policymakers • Proposed program should facilitate networking amongst academics, policymakers and regulators • Absence of credible certification in this area

  7. HOW WHARTON CAN CONTRIBUTE • Wharton proposes an integrated solution: three pronged approach • Integration effects change at all organizational levels and facilitates learning of a shared language and vocabulary • Policy Seminars: an important “feeder” role • Wharton: Strong competencies in the areas of Insurance and Risk Management • Wharton Executive Education : sound track record of design and executive education delivery capabilities at all levels in multiple international locations

  8. PROGRAM STRUCTURE, DESIGN AND COVERAGE • Proposed Joint Academic Committee • Composition: IAIS, World Bank, Wharton faculty and staff • Role • To ensure that program vision and objectives are met • To ensure that all aspects of program are well integrated • To oversee program strategy and design • To define roles of individual partners • To review the effectiveness of the program on ongoing basis

  9. PROPOSED PROGRAM STRUCTURE

  10. BASIC PROGRAM STRUCTURE FOUR PHASES OF THE BASIC PROGRAM (4 months including 5 weeks residential) • PRE-PROGRAM PHASE (Self-study: Fundamentals) • PHASE 1 (Residential at Wharton, 3 weeks: Finance, Insurance Economics, Regulatory Frameworks and Implementation) • PHASE 2 ( Work-study, about 3 months: Workplace applications) integrated with GDLN and FSAP • PHASE 3 (Residential at Wharton, 2 weeks: Risk & Valuation, Concepts & Implementation)

  11.

  13. ADVANCED PROGRAM: APPROACH • Wharton’s approach: Strategic and integrative as opposed to “drilling down” on basic themes • Financial and Management components • Three Phases spread over 3 months • Pedagogy: Lecture, seminars, distance learning • One examination, one major project • Proposed Pilot launch: Fall 2006 • Proposed Class Size: 50

  14.
