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.
