Risk Modeling Webinar

This webinar will give you an overview of the fundamentals of risk modeling. Starting with just the functions already available in Excel, Julian Downes, professional risk analyst with 16 years of experience, will give you an introduction to the principles of probabilistic or ‘Monte Carlo’ risk modeling.

The webinar shows in concrete, actionable terms how you can get started in implementing the probabilistic risk analysis in your models. Julian will also compare the two leading Monte Carlo Excel add-ins – @Risk and Crystal Ball. This webinar will not make you an expert risk modeler, however it will show you a number of easy-to-learn principles to get you started in risk modeling.
