Overview
Risk management has traditionally been viewed as a business discipline. However, the general principles and practices used in business risk management can also be used in managing the loss exposures faced by individuals and families. These are generally referred to as personal loss exposures, in contrast to business loss exposures, and the phrase "personal risk management" refers to the management of these personal loss exposures.
Insurance producers can best serve their clientele not by merely "selling insurance" but by helping them deal with the risks they face, utilizing insurance as an important tool within the broader context of a risk management program, and using what we might call a "risk management approach."
