Using data to reduce the number of questions posed to consumers and doing away with paper applications. These were two of several initiatives pitched to an audience of actuaries and entrepreneurs at last month’s ‘Life Insurance Reverse Pitch’ event.
The fifth Insurance CRO forum was held at the Actuaries Institute on Thursday 29 August 2019. 'Royal Commission – What’s next?' was the theme for this year, with three engaging plenary sessions. We had no shortage of lively, quality discussion, and in many ways wished the half day was longer. The forum was facilitated by Verne Baker (Director, KPMG) who opened the forum with a formal welcome and Acknowledgement of Country.
Horrendous rainy Sydney weather did not deter a group of 60 enthusiastic actuaries (and close to 100 actuaries who preferred to stay dry and connected via the webinar) from attending an Insights session at the Institute to contemplate the topic of Reflections & Predictions on the Actuarial Value Proposition.
On Monday 9 September I had the pleasure of speaking at the Actuaries Institute in Sydney. I was asked to speak on a topic which for many Actuaries is seen as a challenge...networking.
