In this session, we will explore how R can revolutionize actuarial workflows by enhancing data analysis, streamlining processes, and fostering reproducibility through the use of robust tools and packages. Attendees will learn how R scripts provide significant advantages over traditional Excel methods, and discover the power of interactive applications with R Shiny to make data insights more accessible. We will also highlight key R packages that are essential for data cleaning, manipulation, and visualization, while addressing common challenges and strategies for overcoming internal resistance to adopting R in corporate environments. This session is designed to empower actuaries with modern analytical tools that not only boost efficiency but also offer a competitive edge in a data-driven industry.
