Description: Actuaries play pivotal roles in insurance companies, consulting firms, and throughout the industry. With the ongoing accounting and regulatory changes, process and system modernization, and the rapidly changing environment, actuaries frequently find themselves working in multidisciplinary projects with non-actuarial teams. In order to take on broader leadership roles, actuaries are often times expected to partner with and/or lead non-actuarial personnel. How can actuaries work most effectively with non-actuaries? A panel of industry leaders across different disciplines will share their perspectives on actuaries working with and building effective relationships with non-actuarial colleagues. The panelists will cover how actuaries add value in a non-actuarial world, what aspects actuaries can focus on to be more effective across disciplines, and incorporate success stories as well as lessons learned.
