Description: There have been several major disruptions that will likely end up dragging the world into a major regime change. The best way to prepare for the next New Normal is with Scenario Planning. Come join a mock scenario planning exercise working in groups. You will be provided a New Normal Scenario and each group will work to develop a new plan for the transition of a business to successfully navigating that Scenario. Groups will share their scenarios and their plans. Session Coordinators will provide the scenario as well as an outline for a plan to respond to the scenario. Workshop participants will work out details for their scenario and plan in small groups. This session is a follow up to two webcasts sponsored by the JRMS in May and June 2023.

Description: Mortality Improvement is fundamental to setting your mortality assumptions. Creating your own Mortality Improvement assumption may seem like a Herculean task. The truth is creating a mortality improvement assumption with tools provided by the SOA, or the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) make the process easy. Leaving you with the Herculean task of deciding if the assumption you created fits your product. Expect to learn about the CMI tool and the SOA's Mortality Improvement Model (MIM) tool, how you might get data to use in those tools, and what assumptions you need to make outside of data like what will the MI be in 20 or 30 years? Whether it is the general population, a segment of the general population, or certain causes of death, you will get very different answers.
