Abstract
This Risk Case Study Challenge gives MSc students the challenging opportunity to work on a real risk-modelling and/or risk-management case in close collaboration with a Risk Center corporate partner. The Corporate Partner for the Spring 2022 Edition will be announced soon.
Objective
During the challenge students acquire a practical understanding of o The business of the corporate partner (typically bank or re/insurance) o Risk management and risk modelling in the context of the challenge o The role of operational risk management. Importantly, students learn to frame a real risk-related business case with the help of a case manager from the corporate partner. They also learn to coordinate as a group, to integrate and learn from business insights in order to elaborate a solution for their case. Finally, students communicate their solution to an assembly of professionals from the Corporate Partner. This teaches them valuable communication and presentation skills for next stage of their career.
Content
Students work on a real-world, risk-related case. The case is based on a business-relevant topic. Topics are provided by a the Risk Center corporate partner. While gaining substantial insights into this particular industry's risk modelling and/or management practices, students explore the case or problem on their own. They work in teams and develop solutions. The cases allow students to use logical problem-solving skills with an emphasis on evidence and application.Typically, the cases are complex, contain ambiguities, and may be addressed in more than one way. During the seminar, students visit the corporate partner’s offices, conduct interviews with members of the management team as well as internal and external experts (such as ETH faculty), and finally present their results in a professional manner.
