Solvency II board training – tools for the board, not just facts

Our client, a large Lloyd’s managing agency / plc asked us to design and lead the initial delivery of a board training programme on Solvency II. This involved four distinct phases:

• Designing an overarching programme, mapping out not just the information that senior individuals needed to know, but what they were supposed to do with the knowledge.
• Drafting a series of bite-sized briefing papers.
• Preparing and delivering effective half-day group training sessions (including developing engaging group exercises and tests).
• Carrying out one-to-one coaching to enable board members to raise and explore sensitive knowledge gaps in a safe environment.

We received very positive feedback on the engaging sessions we ran and how our approach had helped the board to move beyond knowledge overload to genuine skill development.
