Advanced Project Economics, Risk & Decision Analysis

NTRODUCTION 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 Objectives The primary objectives of this Advanced Project Economics, Risk & Decision Analysis training course are to: - Learn how to handle uncertainty in projects - Understand different economic terms - Understand the expected value concept and learn its impact on decision tree analysis - Learn expected theory concepts and attitudes towards risk, risk eversion and risk premium - Acquire spreadsheet skills including simulation software @RISK - Carry out cashflow analysis for project and use common economic indicators to evaluate between competing alternatives - Carry out a comprehensive economic study evaluating projects using risk and sensitivity analysis by means of spreadsheets Training Methodology This Advanced Project Economics, Risk & Decision Analysis training course will incorporate a mix of learning methods, including but not limited to, high quality power point slides, short videos and active class participation. An in-depth knowledge of quantitative risk analysis techniques and hands-on problem solving skills will be developed during this training course . Participants will use PC’s to solve a variety of problems better enabling them to utilize the taught material. This Advanced Project Economics, Risk & Decision Analysis training course approach will be facilitated using Microsoft Excel add on @Risk module and will further assist in promoting discussions among the participants. Organisational Impact By sending delegates on this Advanced Project Economics, Risk & Decision Analysis training course, your organization will benefit by: - Learning how to apply economic valuation and risk assessment processes and techniques - Help the participants to identify and analyze the risk involved in a project - Assist the participants to apply the decision-making procedures to justify the projects in terms of profitability - Participants learn the decision analysis process and foundation concepts so they can actively participate in multi-discipline evaluation teams - Monte Carlo simulation is discussed and experienced in detail in hands-on exercises - Adding value to company’s active projects, through the use of case studies - Help participants to recognize and identify the influencing parameters Personal Impact By attending this training course, you will: - Learn how to describe the elements of the decision analysis process and grasp how construct a project cashflow model incorporating sensitivity analysis - Evaluate investment and design alternatives with decision tree analysis - Gain the operational decision making techniques using @Risk - Gain valuable knowledge in identifying the important uncertainties in projects - Enhance your awareness of the influential parameters WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
