Agenda
08.30-09.00: Registration
09.00-10.00: PST – Part 1
10.00-10.30: Refreshment break
10.30-11.30: PST – Part 2
This session is suitable for actuaries working in any area (i.e. it is not specifically aimed at Life, GI or any other technical discipline) and is interactive, so you should come along prepared to take part in the discussions.
Video case studies will be selected from the IFoA’s 2018/19 online content which covers a range of topics under an overarching theme of “Getting it right!”
Whether it’s how we communicate, present our findings, or conduct negotiations; we always need to be professional. This includes being able to support our position, ensure the other party knows and understands what we have done and why, treating others with respect and being prepared to “call out” inappropriate behaviours.
This year’s videos will explore some of the possible challenges in achieving this and also looks at some of the potential pitfalls in using social media.
We aim to avoid overlap with case studies used at other IFoA and SOAT events, but cannot guarantee that there will be no duplication in content.
