A view of the future

In our previous article in this series, "Know thyself", we looked at member responses to HorizonScan35 research focused on the actuary brand and career support from the Actuaries Institute. Here, we look at how members perceive the future of the profession – and a holistic view of what our member research has to tell us.

Highlights

“Know thyself”

Over the past year, the Actuaries Institute has gone through a deep and extended process of strategic thinking. Our HorizonScan35 (H35) project and our new strategy are unfolding soon. An important part of that process is understanding how the profession perceives itself, which resulted in the delivery of a focused EDM/SMS survey of nearly 5,000 members as part of H35. The survey canvassed three big questions, and in this article, we’re focusing on the brand and career-related questions.

2015 Member Survey Results

Two separate groups of Members were surveyed in 2015 regarding their assessment of the Institute’s performance across a broad range of member service practices and outcomes. The HQ Team were very pleased with the results. The Institute is currently performing well in the top five areas and there are a number of initiatives planned, through the Strategic Plan, that should see improvements in the five lowest scoring areas of the Survey.
