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
