The purpose of this course is to equip managers with the knowledge and practical skills needed to effectively leverage data science in their decision-making processes. By mastering data exploration, predictive analytics, and innovation, participants will be able to harness the power of data to drive strategic initiatives, optimize operations, and gain a competitive advantage.

Through a combination of theory, examples, and hands-on exercises, you will learn how to extract valuable insights from complex datasets, utilize predictive models for forecasting, mitigate risks and unlock the potential of data-driven innovation. Also, the exchange among the participants can provide valuable insights in the use of data science techniques throughout the different insurance companies.

Web Session 'Understanding the Performance of an Insurance Company: An Introduction'
10/11 & 15/16 April 2024 | 9:00-12:30 CEST

­

­

­

­

­

The aim of this workshop is to:

• Present the functioning of an insurance company and the insurance and financial products it manages
• Explain how to read and understand the different elements of an insurance balance sheet and P&L
• Compute performance indicators used in different regulatory frameworks (Local GAAP, Solvency 2)
• Understand the impact of pricing & portfolio management, risk mitigation (reinsurance) and ALM on the performance

We will cover life as well as non-life insurance. Health insurance will not be specifically covered.

This training is an introduction to main concepts and is therefore particularly suited for participants, coming potentially from different departments (product development, risk management, finance, accounting but also underwriting, claims management or IT), wanting to develop a broader view on how their work can influence the performance. It is also well suited for newcomers or people wanting to refresh their minds on these concepts.

by taking part in all four modules and the corresponding exams. It is planned to offer all four modules in 2024 and 2025.

All courses are open to interested actuaries to deepen their knowledge and skills in the field of Actuarial Data Science (without exams).

In this three-day seminar, we cover a wide range of topics. This includes a basic introduction to the concepts and terms of artificial intelligence, modern data management concepts (with a special look at insurance companies), aspects of data protection and the mathematical and statistical concepts of data mining. On our way, we touch different use cases in the actuarial environment. To this end, we provide a brief insight into the widely used language R and development tools in the data science context (RStudio, Anaconda). The seminar rounds off with principles for the ethical handling of artificial intelligence in the insurance environment.
