From RISKWORLD to the G2 Sweep: 
May Highlights

May 28, 2026

FIRESIDE CHAT: TIM WALSH, TOWNSEND COMPANY
"NO MORE TRIR"...WHY THE STANDARD SAFETY METRIC IS FLAWED

The metric every safety program lives and dies by may be the wrong one. Tim Walsh, VP of Safety and Training at Townsend Company, makes the case that TRIR is mathematically broken — and quietly incentivizing crews to hide injuries.

Tim brings receipts from a 3.2 trillion-hour EEI study and his own work with federal OSHA on what should replace it.

• Why a stitch and a fatality count the same under TRIR
• The shift toward SIFs (Serious Injuries and Fatalities) as the better signal

FIRESIDE CHAT: MARK RIEDER, NFP
THE FUTURE OF BROKERAGE...BEYOND THE 3-RING BINDER

The insurance industry has worn the "laggard" label for years. Mark Rieder, Head of Innovation at NFP, thinks the brokers who modernize their data first will own the next decade of client relationships.

Mark sits down with David Wald on the end of static stewardship reports, why "if you don't have a data strategy, you don't have an AI strategy," and the new Aclaimant + NFP Connect partnership.

• Why agentic AI is rewriting what insurance buyers expect
• Aclaimant joins NFP Connect as a preferred RMIS provider

FROM DAVID'S DESK: RISKWORLD 2026 ... FIVE SIGNALS RESHAPING RISK MANAGEMENT

Four days in Philadelphia, ~11,000 risk professionals, and one conclusion: the gap between what risk managers expect and what the industry can deliver is the widest it's been in David's career.

The five signals he took home:

1. Expectations have outrun the industry. Buyers expect a speed and service standard carriers, brokers, and TPAs aren't reliably built to deliver.
2. AI in claims is past hype — for a few. The question moved from "should we adopt?" to "what's our governance model when AI makes the wrong call?"
3. Volatility is structural. Average plaintiff verdicts hit $16.2M in 2024 — a 276% jump from 2019 (Lex Machina).
4. Adam Grant nailed the keynote. The leaders who win the next decade will treat assumptions like hypotheses, not conclusions.
5. The RIMS community is reorganizing. Strongest floor energy in years — practitioners are problem-solving in public again.
