Decision-Making and Uncertainty Analysis using @RISK: Two Day Course
This two-day course aims to provide participants with hands-on experience and the analytic tools to conduct risk analysis using @RISK, demonstrated across a range of applications. Day 1 covers the fundamentals, including learning to operate the software and to interpret the results of the analysis. Hands-on examples used include basic cost modelling and event risk modelling. Day 2 is focussed on extending participants’ @RISK modelling techniques, including further topics in the use of distributions and the capturing of dependency relationships. Further features of the software are also explored, and participants’ own modelling situations are discussed. Hands-on examples include an extension of cost budgeting, cash flow modelling, and time series modelling, with some time available to discuss participants’ own modelling applications. The course is taught by Dr. Michael Rees, Palisade’s Global Director of Training and Consulting. Michael’s prior experience includes 15 years’ work experience as a strategy consultant, equity analyst and independent consultant. He has a Doctorate in Mathematics and a B.A. with First Class Honours from Oxford University, and a MBA with Distinction from INSEAD. He has studied quantitative finance with Paul Wilmott, graduating top of the class and also receiving the Wilmott Award in 2003. He prides himself on his ability to explain complex concepts in simple, focused, intuitive, and non-mathematical ways. He is the author of Financial Modelling in Practice (John Wiley & Sons, 2008).
