PARIMA Mentoring initiative

Empowering the next generation of Risk Champions

How can this Programme help me?

We want to empower risk practitioners to build & enhance their skills to be more competent in their role and make an impact in their fields of focus. Our mentors will guide you as you set SMART goals on areas where you want to further develop professionally and lead you to the right direction as you work to accomplish them.

The Development Process

The PARIMA Risk Competency Framework was developed through multiple rounds of research. Data was gathered from a diverse range of sources to provide insights into the building blocks for the competencies. Sources include future and industry trend reports, job descriptions, one-to-one interviews, external benchmarks and profiling questionnaires. The findings from each round were validated and extended in subsequent rounds. This approach was used to ensure the rigour of the research and thus enhanced its credibility and relevance.

What is the PARIMA Mentoring Programme?

A career in risk management is, more often than not, an off-the-beaten-path. Historically, risk professionals often come from widely diverse backgrounds and expertise before landing in their current roles.

This programme is an initiative by PARIMA to help guide the next generation of risk managers on their career goals & professional development and open opportunities to become risk champions of the future. Our mentors have years, even decades of experience in the field and are recognised leaders in the risk community.

How does it work?

We will be matching you with one of our mentors who are all senior risk professionals from distinguished corporations in APAC. We will arrange for the mentee and the mentor to have six (6) 1-on-1 sessions over a six month timeframe via our virtual platform, which would last for an hour each.

The PARIMA Mentoring Initiative is based on the PARIMA Risk Competency Framework (RCF) developed by the Pan-Asia Risk and Insurance Management Association (PARIMA) which seeks to articulate the behaviours and skills essential for risk professionals to succeed and contribute to their organisation in a meaningful way. It also provides risk professionals with a ‘common language’ that defines proficiency at each stage of their career and furthers their professional development.

Want to step up your career in risk management?

In today’s complex and rapidly changing world, the ability to manage risk is a critical skill for any professional. Whether you are just starting out or looking to elevate your career, understanding risk management can provide you with a competitive edge.
