Meeting Objective

The Strategic Account Management Roundtable is a forum for Strategic Account Management Officers at retirement plan service provider firms to exchange views and opinions about the general direction of the business and the strategic account management function.

Peer discussions focus on future trends in the industry, strategic management of accounts to meet company objectives (relationships with plan sponsors, their consultants, advisors, client relationship managers, TPAs, and operational units). Key topics attendees bring up in the registration process are discussed in depth to expose the full range of industry practices and service models.

At the 2019 Annual meeting, we will look deeply into the effect that AI and robotics are having on the Account Manager role through the production of a video entitled: "What am I going to do now?" We will also discuss use cases for this content and identify appropriate deployment strategies. 

We plan to explore not only the impact of robotics and AI on the account manager, but also the shift in the role itself - triggered by an increased demand to view the function as an end-to-end process driven by data, fraud protection, metric driven outcomes and robotics.

Topics for discussion at peer roundtable sessions consist of attendee suggestions gathered in the weeks leading up to the meeting.
