We provide a wider range of training options. Tailored and customized, we can deliver your organisation’s training needs anytime, anywhere.
Why Choose this Training Course?
The three biggest planning challenges are predicting costs, assessing profitability, and risk management. All these tasks occur in the early stages of capital planning and failure to adequately evaluate these elements can lead to heavy losses.
This Advanced Project Economics, Risk & Decision Analysis training course will highlight:
- Identification of the stages required in the risk analysis process, i.e., preparing, modeling, and running risk analysis
- Development of the risk model, assessing probabilities to various variables, risk analysis, and explore the impact of uncertain variables
- Enable the participants to create reports such as, tornadoes diagrams, scatter plots and cumulative probability functions, using excel
- Application of decision trees and Monte Carlo-based simulations to generate profitability indicators
- Enable the participants to develop probabilistic cashflow reports along with probabilistic profitability indicators for decision-making
