Growth & Profitability: Shift in Actuarial Thinking
Pricing actuaries constantly face the challenge of balancing growth and profitability. This session explores real-world case studies that require thinking beyond traditional actuarial methods. We’ll tackle scenarios such as managing tail risk when models fall short, and integrating Customer Lifetime Value models to optimize marketing strategies. We’ll also examine what to do when your most profitable segment is too small to scale. Attendees will be encouraged to think collaboratively and apply cross-functional solutions to modern pricing challenges.
Learning objectives:
➡️ Think strategically about balancing growth and profitability in pricing decisions.
➡️ Evaluate pricing challenges using broader, non-traditional actuarial perspectives.
➡️ Integrate cross-functional insights into pricing strategies.
