This is a workshop for risk analysts who are already very accomplished in the mathematical modeling of risk, and/or who have risk modeling problems that they wish to discuss amongst peers.
The workshop is designed to appeal to very experienced risk modelers who have all the readily obtainable skills who want to investigate how to resolve complex or unusual problems that they are faced with.
It is expected that all models will be written in a Monte Carlo simulation package for Excel such as @Risk, or statistical environments such as R or WinBUGS/OpenBUGS. However, participants using other risk modeling environments (e.g. Analytica, AnyLogic) should also be able participate in the workshop. Applicants are requested to submit a brief explanation of the modeling issues they wish to address, together with their CV and short bio so that we can assure compatibility between participants. Given the advanced nature of this course, participants are required to be highly proficient in the modeling package of their choice.
Participants are required to bring computers installed with their modeling environment of choice, Microsoft Excel, and a pdf reader software.
The course runs from 09:00 to 17:00 each day. Morning and afternoon coffee, and lunch are provided. Optional evening workshops on the first and second days allow extra time for running through example models and exercises.
ModelAssist is a comprehensive risk analysis training reference and is free of cost. This reference tool provides an in-depth explanation of all of the risk analysis concepts, techniques and methods introduced in this course and greatly complements the course material. ModelAssist can be downloaded or accessed directly from our website.
All of our courses aim to help the participants understand risk analysis from the bottom-up, which is achieved through a relaxed, informal and interactive environment, using plenty of examples and hands-on exercises where students apply and adapt what they have learned.
Our training courses provide an opportunity to develop or extend your professional network. We therefore arrange optional fun, interactive social events which take advantage of local attractions, cuisine, and culture. All social events are included in the course fee.
Course participants must arrange their own accommodation. However, we will be happy to provide information and alternatives for your travel arrangements. After you complete your registration form, please let us know that you will need our help.
