purpose
• Target
Development/AdaptaDon
challenge,
Build

to

opportuniDes
• Target
appropriate
groups/levels,
leveraging

mgmt
• Make
insurance
final
piece
of
careful
package
• People
who
benefit
from
insurance
should
• Guide
design,
understand
its
strengths
and
weaknesses
quanDtaDvely
• Can
have/build
package
appropriate
for

• Build
• On
strong
relaDonships,
solid
science,
strong
distribuDon
methods,
validaDon
and
improvement,
transparent,
understandable
products
• Start
slowly
and
carefully
to

quickly
on

• Basis
risk
is
central,
but
unless

can
lead
along

• Reduce

what

• We
