Make a Difference - Stand Out - Be Heard Great book. Pity I didn't have it ten years ago. I see many of the mistakes I've made discussed here. Will be making it a compulsory read for my staff. -- Phillip Everett, Head of Group Capital & Pricing Intelligence at National Australia Bank In The Influential Actuary, available in softcover and ebook formats, by David C. Miller lays out specific tools and strategies that enable actuaries and other technical professionals to add greater value to their organizations by being more influential in the way they communicate, influence and relate to others. Working for 16 years as both a company and consulting actuary, Dave saw first-hand the marketing challenges actuaries can face in their organizations. Actuaries are often seen in a limited light. They are viewed as backroom technicians who are brilliant at what they do, but lack the high level business acumen to be useful in more senior and strategic roles. While many actuaries have defied this stereotype, many more have not. In a study done by the Society of Actuaries, many employers indicated that actuaries in general lack the business savvy skills needed most by executives. The Influential Actuary is a practical manual instructing actuaries on how they can break through these perception barriers and make a greater impact on their organizations.
