Description

Eric Garland, founder and Director of Competitive Futures, a competitive analysis firm that provides insight and expert guidance to corporate clients and government agencies, will speak on the Future of Risk: Evolving Foresight for a World in Transition.

He will give forecasts about the future of risk - how deeply interconnected world systems are increasing complexity and decreasing the ability to predict sudden shocks. Exploring his work in decision sciences, he will detail how actuaries can improve their understanding of emerging fields such as cognitive bias and behavioral economics to reduce risk and elucidate opportunities for their clients in the years to come.
