With the New Year just around the corner, we offer a preview of a dozen topics and trends that will be a focus of NU’s coverage in 2012.

12. Talent Show: We all know we face a looming succession crisis as Baby Boomer retirements sap the insurance world of a wealth of wisdom and experience. Next year, we’ll zero in on what’s being done to address this brain drain. We’ll give progress reports on efforts at the industry-wide level—and take some in-depth looks at individual companies with effective programs to lure and secure tomorrow’s leaders.

11. All Abroad: Whether you work as an underwriter, producer or risk manager, it’s a safe bet your business is becoming ever-more international. In 2012, look for us to explore where the opportunities are overseas for carriers; to deliver case studies on how small and midsize agencies are successfully expanding to other countries; and to feature profiles of risk managers who handle global portfolios with aplomb.
