Description: Focus on the importance of achieving complete and accurate technical reviews of work products that contribute to decision making. As actuaries, we often face tight deadlines and the demand is high for our team members to provide results in a timely manner. Through investing upfront time into a quality review of our work product, with an added focus on professional excellence and ethics, overall time savings can be gained and an overall higher quality work product can be achieved, not only of the technical work being performed, but of the decision making that is influenced by the result of the work. At the conclusion of this session, you will be able to understand the value of technical reviews and the methods of preparing for and implementing technical reviews across a team.

Description: Find out how actuaries can use the principles of microservices, which are fundamentally important for improving outcomes for actuarial modernization initiatives. This presentation is NOT worried about Mmcroservices technology itself, but, microservices have properties that actuaries can mimic and replicate to make business processes be more efficient, more timely, and easier to maintain and govern. Focus on how you can incorporate software engineering concepts into help solving actuarial problems without concerning yourself with software engineering technology.
