Technology isn’t the barrier: rethinking actuarial transformation

What’s really holding actuarial teams back from getting value out of modern technology? In this episode of Risk Reimagined, Technology isn’t the barrier: rethinking actuarial transformation, Steve speaks with Adrien, a career actuary who has spent years working at the intersection of actuarial practice, platforms, and AI. Together, they explore why the biggest challenge today isn’t access to tools, but how organisations collaborate and operationalise them. Adrien shares real examples of when transformation worked, and when it didn’t, highlighting the role of trust, early collaboration between actuaries and technologists and iterative delivery over long, siloed builds. The conversation also looks at how AI is changing the pace of development, shortening feedback loops and making actuarial insight more accessible across the business. For listeners navigating technology change, this episode offers practical perspective on what actually drives successful actuarial transformation and what gets in the way!Mixed & Edited by Next Day [email protected]
