RISK AWARENESS WEEK 2020 RISK AWARENESS WEEK 2020

What's the point of financial modeling when ignoring risks?

Most innovations in financial modeling solve the wrong problem. Convenience to play around with assumptions for example. Solving technical problems instead of methodological flaws. What's the point in being able to easily change arbitrary inputs? Getting arbitrary outputs quicker?

In my workshop I will put financial modeling a bit in its context: Supporting better decisions by recognizing and analyzing risks. I will walk you through a hands-on example to demonstrate how ignoring risks and uncertainties must lead to wrong answers... and how easy it is to do better.
