IFoA Conference 2023 Workshop A: Actuaries are human too – managing behavioural risks in expert judgement

"Expert judgement underpins all aspects of actuarial work, from data gathering through to final reporting."

In this session the speakers will explore how behavioural biases and our own natural attitudes and emotional response to risk can affect our judgement, individually and in groups. 

The speakers will draw on case studies from actuarial disciplines including pensions, risk and insurance, present feedback from industry surveys on behavioural bias, discuss findings from focus groups, and reflect on how we can reduce the influence of bias in actuarial work. 

Speakers: Edward Harrison and Zoe Burdo, LCP"
