Value Ladder

Actuarial Value Ladder Insurance Market Model*

We're pleased to be using the actuarial value ladder in the development of this meeting. The actuarial value ladder is a professional development tool that will help actuaries plan and manage their careers, provide educational direction for members and assist in communicating the profession's value to employers.

Based on formal and informal employer and member research, this framework is intended to provide actuaries with an understanding of the roles and contributions that they can make both within organizations and on behalf of the profession. The ladder describes the levels at which actuaries can make specific contributions, the value of these skills to employers and to actuaries themselves—along with the necessary competencies to function successfully at each of these levels.

As you read through the brochure, you'll recognize that each session is aligned to a specific stage on the value ladder using the description for each stage, i.e., task/technical, process, employer/client, market, industry, national and global. In addition, we've color-coded the sessions to reflect in which of the three contribution areas—individual and team, organizational and industry wide—they fall. By reviewing these stages and color-codes, you'll be able to select sessions that will help you move your professional development forward in the direction you so choose, to achieve your career goals.
