14 - 16 April 2015 | Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hong Kong
The Risk Games Convention is a revolutionary format designed to help risk management professionals in Asian commercial banks rehearse in detail the different possible scenarios they will be confronted with in 2015-2016 and achieve stronger decision making skills.
The Convention is made up of three different sets of activities:
For the discussions on the three key areas, the session begins with a simulation exercise. Following a briefing, four person teams using their own laptops will be given the parameters of the bank whose balance sheet or operations they will be required to manage.
Teams will be required to enter their responses into a simulation programme, which will then be assessed by the advisors.
After the results are computed, the delegates will discuss the implementation issues they faced and the relationship with real life decisions they have to make. The advisors will then give their overall assessment, following which there will be a general discussion on the issues.
More specifically, the programme is especially designed to sharpen the following skills:
