All Actuaries Summit 2024 – What we learned! A big thank you to everyone who came and visited the Azuria team at our booth or caught one of our sessions at the All Actuaries Summit 2024 last week! The common thread we observed as we spoke to people and participated in sessions was a readiness for change. It was apparent that our sector has undertaken significant work to keep pace with the recent regulatory changes, that our people have felt this burden, and that our organisations are now ready to make the next leap. This was supported by our survey results which highlighted wellbeing as the most important personal focus, along with meeting financial targets as the most important challenge for our businesses closely followed by innovation and staff wellbeing. It was exciting to see innovation as the standout theme both as the biggest opportunity for actuaries over the next five years and also the most important factor in driving success in our industry. So, what did we learn? We are focused on the wellbeing of our people, we are driven to reach financial targets in a challenging market, and that innovation is the key to creating opportunities and future success. It’s time for change. And it’s time for Fresh Thinking! Keep an eye out for our post from Damian Thornley with some fresh thinking on Navigating Rate Guarantees.
