Exponential potential in the future

The rise of technology is rapidly creating a new future of work. Not only are jobs being redefined, but entire professions are transforming as technology enables humans and machines to work together in new ways, giving rise to the “exponential professional.” As this exciting future unfolds, the role of the actuary is changing dramatically with opportunities to take on dynamic new business roles. In this week’s episode, Shawn Loftus, USAA Life Insurance Company’s chief actuary and senior vice president, helps us explore the effects of these changes on the professionals themselves and explains what skills an “exponential actuary” needs. Our Deloitte roundtable keeps the conversation going by breaking down what an “exponential professional” looks like across industries and the skill sets required to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Bring the technology into the workplace. Try. Pilot. Experiment.
