1 Workshop W1 Wednesday, November 12 8:30 9:45 a.m. and 10:05 11:20 a.m. WRAP-UPS: WHAT KEEPS US UP AT NIGHT Presented by Workshop W1 Richard Resnick President Project Risk Consultants, Inc. Wrap-ups offer many benefits to their sponsors, but they also present some nagging issues that can keep participants (and their advisers!) awake at night. Was the cost estimate in the feasibility analysis too optimistic? How do I explain the collateral nightmare? Did all eligible participants actually get enrolled in the wrap-up? Will this wrap-up ever end? This session will address these and other common worries encountered on a wrap-up in a fun but educational way. Putting those issues into perspective will not only create a better understanding of the potential problems but reduce the anxiety that often accompanies a wrap-up insurance program.
