The actuarial profession is changing rapidly and the skills needed to be successful are also changing. In this session, we will debate key topics and questions, such as:
- What is the predominant future career path for actuaries? Specialists or generalists?
- Does the actuarial profession have a meaningful value prop outside our core domains e.g. insurance?
- What skills are needed for the actuary of the future?
- What’s the best approach to improve actuarial storytelling to non-actuarial audiences?
- What’s the role of actuaries to managing and predicting emerging trends and assumptions?
- What is the role of actuaries in relation to development and ownership of advanced modeling?
- Is the future actuarial profession smaller/larger than it is today? In either case, how does it differ from today in terms of make-up, deployment, function, purpose, value add, etc.?
