Collaborative Research

I am starting this blog with the intention of doing a research paper and a presentation on the topic at the Convention of the Actuarial Society of South Africa in late 2009, and the International Convention in 2010.

The intention is two pronged.

Firstly, I am interested in the topic and think it is important that we find ways of measuring our effectiveness in meeting the needs of investors. This does not stop at creating out performance if that out performance can not be fed through to clients because of their decision making.

Secondly, I am interested in whether using new communication technology, we can increase the number of people willingly contributing to research.

I hope you will join me in seeing if it works?
