SUMMARY:Webinar: Engineering Meets Actuarial Science
DESCRIPTION:Dear members\,Please join us for a webinar with Tonkin + Taylor\, consulting engineers\, exploring how engineering and actuarial expertise can contribute to New Zealand’s natural hazard and resilience challenges.Date: Tuesday\, 25 AugustTime: 12.00–1.00 pm (presentation begins at 12.10 pm)Where: Online (Zoom)Hosted by the General Insurance Committee\, this webinar will be presented by James Russell and Dr Maxim Millen of Tonkin + Taylor.The session will introduce the engineering perspective on natural hazard risk\, highlighting where engineering and actuarial expertise intersect. Using examples such as the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence and the recently released National Liquefaction Model\, the presenters will demonstrate how engineering insights are helping shape understanding of risk and resilience.The session will also explore how combining engineering and actuarial perspectives can support better decision-making for insurers\, government\, and communities. The webinar is intended to start a conversation about areas of shared interest between the actuarial and engineering professions including meaningful research and practical tools for communities that support decision -making. Depending on member interest\, it may lead to future collaborative initiatives aligned with the NZSA Strategy.Whether you’re interested in natural hazards\, climate resilience\, insurance risk or working across disciplines\, we encourage you to join what promises to be an insightful discussion. We look forward to seeing you there.Clinton FreemanConvenor\, General Insurance Committee

SUMMARY:Navigating Complexity: Practical Tools for Better Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Dear membersRegistrations are now open for the September AA Forum online meeting – all members are invited to attend.At the recent June one-day AA Forum\, we explored three defining themes shaping the future of the profession — regulatory transformation\, insurance affordability\, and artificial intelligence. A common thread across these discussions was the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of the environments in which actuaries operate.The 23 September Forum builds on this discussion by exploring how complexity thinking can help actuaries make better decisions in an environment of rapid change and uncertainty. We’ll hear from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand on its emerging focus on complexity and interconnectedness before our guest speaker\, Steven McCrone\, Managing Director of AGLX Asia-Pacific\, shares practical tools and techniques to help actuaries strengthen decision-making\, resilience and adaptive capability. We’ll also get a report back on NZSA’s IPSA submission\, plus a rapid-fire session on hot topics.
