We are entering a new era of risk. Global dynamics are shifting, and the hierarchy of risks is being constantly redefined. Geopolitical tensions, technological acceleration, climate pressures, and societal transformations are evolving faster than traditional frameworks can keep pace. In this context, “order” takes on multiple dimensions: a new hierarchy of risks, a new structure for interpreting them, and a new mandate for risk leaders to respond with agility and foresight.

This new order is not imposed—it is emerging. And as Asia charts its own course, the region is increasingly shaping how risks are understood and managed on its own terms.

In 2026, The New Risk Order invites risk professionals to explore this evolving landscape, lead with clarity, adapt with confidence, and help define the future of the profession in a world where the rules—and the risks—are continually being rewritten.

From Buying Insurance to Selling Your Risk
In a shifting risk landscape, insurance buying is no longer just about securing quotes, it’s about intentionally selling your organisation’s risks to the market. This session facilitates discussion around how risk managers can take a strategic approach towards engaging insurers: one that reframes the conversation around risk quality, data credibility, retention design, and aligned incentives.

Managing Today’s Risks: Climate, Conflict and Supply Chain Resilience
In today’s volatile operating environment, risk managers in the Philippines are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape—where climate-related losses, political violence, and supply‑chain disruptions are no longer abstract threats but material business realities. This session is designed for risk and insurance professionals who want to stay ahead of these emerging risks, drawing on real‑world regional insights and lessons from recent events affecting businesses and communities. Participants will explore how these interconnected risks are reshaping exposure, insurance availability, and decision‑making, while gaining practical strategies to strengthen enterprise risk maturity. Join us to build more resilient organisations that can anticipate uncertainty, protect value, and respond with confidence in an increasingly complex world.

De-risking the cyber minefield - Philippines and Global Trends
Data privacy and breach response in the Asia-Pacific region have become significantly more complex, driven by a wave of new comprehensive laws, mandatory notification obligations, and a shift towards board-level accountability.

This masterclass will help risk managers navigate the shifting legal and regulatory landscape, starting with an overview of the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act of 2012 and how it compares with other privacy frameworks across the region. Participants will gain insight into key cyber law themes emerging from recent case law, highlighting regulatory developments relevant to board level-oversight. Building on this foundation, the session will explore how cyber insurance operates in practice during an incident, including what is typically covered, and where gaps may arise. The masterclass will highlight recent geopolitical cyber trends across the region, as well as the role of risk consulting and proactive services in strengthening preparedness before an event occurs.

Attendees will leave with a more structured understanding of cyber risk across legal, operational, and insurance dimensions, and practical takeaways to enhance their organisation’s readiness, response, and overall cyber resilience.

Risk & Resilience Engineering: Developing adaptive resilience capabilities that deliver measurable value to your risk control and transfer strategy
Traditional Risk Engineering has applied a prescriptive, code-driven approach through fragmented visits that often produce a limited view of loss. Forward-thinking organisations are shifting to a portfolio perspective of Risk and Resilience, analysing the interconnected nature of both across key current and emerging risk themes. By integrating performance-based Resilience Engineering; driven by actuarial loss modelling, risk quantification and Total Cost of Risk analysis, the combined discipline of Risk & Resilience Engineering addresses the often-overlooked probabilistic, interconnected and escalatory dimensions of risk events.

Leveraging advanced analytics and focusing on mega themes such as Technology, Climate, Supply Chain and Geopolitics, our Risk & Resilience Engineers create measurable short-, medium-, and long-term value for clients. Moreover, this new approach enhances the quality of insured risks while building sustainable and mutually beneficial partnerships between clients and insurers. Willis Engineering, Risk and Analytics specialists will deliver Interactive and scenario-based Risk labs in Manila that will equip PARIMA members with insight into advanced Risk & Resilience Engineering concepts. Thus providing workshop attendees with both professional development and the ability to deliver greater value to their respective organisations.

The Illusion of Readiness - No Plan Survives the Crisis: Building Decision-Making and Crisis Management Capabilities That Work When Plans Don’t
The world is more volatile than at any point in recent memory – geopolitical escalation, climate change, and supply chain disruption are changing the operating environment resulting in more complex compounding crises. Organizations across Asia are investing in business continuity frameworks and testing their crisis management plans. Many of them will discover, at the worst possible moment, that these capabilities are not a silver bullet. This session is about what happens when these plans stop working.

Drawing from Marsh’s PARIMA Hong Kong session “Crisis or Catalyst? Thriving Amid Global Volatility and Political Shock” this session zoom in on the discipline of crisis response. Attendees will examine real world case studies to understand why organizations that believe they are prepared often fail when a crisis hits, what the science tells us about how leaders behave and make decisions under pressure, and what genuinely crisis-ready organizations do differently.

This is not a purely theoretical session; attendees will participate in interactive activities to pressure-test their own ideas of readiness and resilience. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of why organizations get things wrong, a framework to understand where their organization sits, and a practical framework that they can apply to their business.
