Skills and Knowledge Inventories(SKIs) Kathy Thompson Guy Poliquin Session GEN-41
AGENDA Background Process Design Current Status Outstanding Issues Skills and Knowledge Inventories (SKIs)
Original idea came from the UK Institute More guidance was needed on what was expected from our members CIA’s CE requirements were moving away from a purely hourly measurement to a more subjective “knowledge” base SKIs are guides (not mandatory) to assist members Background - SKIs
Task Force was created in late 2005 First meeting held in March 2006 Initial focus was on the 6 “existing” practice areas as defined by the CIA Leaders appointed for each practice area Pension: Bill Osenton Group: Shannon Patershuk Investments: Frank Grossman P&C: Cara Low Life: Robert Mallette AE: Guy Martel Background - SKIs
Each practice area within the task force has 2 or 3 members These sub-groups have been in contact with members of each Practice Committee for feedback/comments Seek member input as much as possible Focus has been to be as open and flexible as possible The SKIs will continue to evolve Process - SKIs
Consistent format to be used for each practice area Each inventory will include: SKI chart Description of knowledge levels Information regarding skills & knowledge subjects Details regarding practitioner categories Suggested resource/reading list TOOL to assist in development of technical skills (members are free to use them or not) Process - SKIs
Two components Chart: Rows represent the skills and knowledge subjects Columns represent the practitioner categories Boxes within grid intended to provide guidance as to level of knowledge recommended Reading Material: Documents / References to support the SKI chart Will be maintained on the CIA website Provide enough details to locate the “source” with relative ease Not the only acceptable documents … remember, it’s only a guide SKI Grid - Design
Pension & Investments drafts distributed to members in June requesting comments re content, structure and perceived usefulness Group pending distribution to group actuaries as well as broader membership (target June/July) Life Draft of the grid completed Next step is to get feedback from life practice committees Actuarial Evidence grid almost complete; target distribution to members in August with discussion at AE seminar in September P&C Draft grid completed and distributed to P&C committees for comments Next Steps
SKI’s are a journey, not a destination We need a process to ensure the guides remain current and useful to members Knowledge categories Is grouping/standardization of the “rows” desirable/practical? Reading Material What do members expect/need? Outstanding Issues
