The Future of Actuarial Science
Actuarial science is at the nexus of turbulent but exciting times, filled with threats and opportunities. Our unique approach and skillset are in high demand, and the future could be bright—if we respond appropriately to seize the opportunities and leverage our strengths.
This session will discuss some of these innovations, threats and environmental factors, and offer possible steps for the profession to take to expand opportunities. Discussion topics include:
- The emergence of Data Science; sister professionals in other industries, including marketing analysts and reliability engineers;
- Challenges to basic and continuing education, including demonstration of skills in a computerized environment;
- Public policy issues: interest rates, aging and pensions, climate change; and
- The marketing and branding of “The Actuary”: what is an actuary, what is unique about us, what new areas can we provide expertise in, etc.
Speaker: Don Mango, Guy Carpenter
