An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Advanced Project Economics, Risk & Decision Analysis
Handling Uncertain Scenarios
Course Introduction
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 Project Economics & 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 Project Economics & 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
