Innovation and creativity make life worthwhile, particularly in our choices involving where we work, how
we work and what we get from our work. Exploring the innovation and passion associated with
entrepreneurship affords all actuaries an opportunity to consider how to further empower and challenge
themselves as they remain professional and focused. Consider attending two dynamic sessions with a
single goal: to make you the entrepreneurial actuary you want to be. The sessions are designed to stand
alone, or combined offer a detailed exploration of entrepreneurship within a Big Box Corporation or on a
smaller, more intimate scale. Either session focuses your work on the passion and the innovation that
marks a strong and directed career!
Session Two: The world is changing and actuaries are often the first to see the challenges and trends of
the coming years. The truth is companies like GM and Ford are not succeeding and the "writing is on the
wall": nimble, innovative companies or companies that operate as if they are will lead and succeed in the
process. Come to this session that takes the entrepreneur in you and reframes your work in terms of
launching new ventures. Whether you are self employed or employed in a Big Box Corporation you have
to learn to work differently and operate as a small business! Learn about how a different perspective can
launch you in a different professional direction, enhance your job dedication and frame your life to include
a real life. Re-evaluate the power of risk to drive your inherent value to your organization but most
importantly to yourself!
You will receive some critical articles on how to start and operate a business on its own or within a
corporate structure, details on entrepreneurial thinking and innovative practices and what it takes to start
a business today and in our field.
