Actuartech and Montoux are partnering on a content series that digs into the heart of what the modern actuary looks like, the challenges and opportunities facing the profession today, and what the actuaries of tomorrow could look like.
This series will include views from actuaries from around the world. It will seek to answer a couple of key questions, including:
• What is the impact of technology and data science on the actuarial profession?
• What is the role of the actuary in the current Covid 19 environment and the impact on insurers and society?
• Is actuarial training adequately preparing actuaries for the new challenges they face
• How have the tools and technologies available to actuaries changed, if at all?
• What are some major expectations and trends actuaries foresee for the future of the profession?
Some initial views from our respondents are included here:
"We’re facing new challenges today, especially in respect to data science, and this is a problem because we need to be able to collaborate and in order to do this we need a better understanding of IT. And create teams of actuaries and data scientists.""I think today’s challenges are hard, and while the training process is quite good but it’s mostly a theoretical one. I think we need more practical experience. “" I think the market today needs more actuaries with IT skills, but in the past it wasn’t like this.”
"Our tools and technologies have not [changed] as much as they should have, there’s still far too much reliance on spreadsheets. I know we’re trying to boost data science and data analytics and some people are starting to adopt that, but I don’t think we’ve really embraced it enough yet."
"Tools and technologies can make sure that we don’t just focus on turning the handle to calculate numbers. I think back in the day, building a model was just to put in random data and see what would come out, but if we can move a little bit further from that and start interpreting data in a different way, and be able to project forward and understand what could happen...it’s forward looking instead of backwards looking."
