"Probability Elicitation in General Insurance" Working Party

The General Insurance Research Organising Committee (GIRO) is planning to launch a new member-led working party.  This will be the "Probability Elicitation in General Insurance" working party.

The precise aims of this working party will be formulated and proposed at its first meetings before the end of 2013.  Initial thoughts have been outlined in an article to appear in The Actuary.  More specifically:

1. Develop a set of best practice for probability elicitation in general insurance  
2. Carefully examine and define research questions in probability elicitation in general insurance 
3. Begin to consider how to better prepare actuaries to more effectively facilitate elicitation of expert opinions

Chair (for initial meeting in November):  Jo Lo, Aspen

Time Commitment:   Volunteers will typically be expected to attend between 8 – 12 meetings per annum and to perform research between meetings.  Meetings are held in London, often Staple Inn, and usually last for 2 hours.  Please note that there is flexibility regarding your attendance at meetings and members can attend by conference call as necessary.

The goal is to assist in a workshop presentation at the 2014 GIRO conference and possibly produce a paper summarising our findings at the end of the project.  

How to get involved:   If you would like to offer your support and volunteer to be considered for this working party, please contact Debbie Atkins, Head of Volunteer Engagement.  When contacting Debbie please provide brief details of your relevant experience and an indication of your reasons for wishing to be involved.  A note of your ARN would also be helpful.
