Overview:

Miles Hutchinson, will show you how to unlock the power of scroll bars and spinners, goal seek, one and two-input data tables and scenario manager in your models. He will provide you with samples of the tools demonstrated during the webinar along with complete instructions for creating and using each of these tools.

Why should you Attend: What if our projections are incorrect? How much variation can we live with when making decisions involving significant amounts of time, money and other resources? How can we express the degree of variation in the expected results current operations and future projects? How well do we quantify upside potential AND the downside risk in our decision making? We are constantly re-evaluating our actions. How do we know, up front and with certainty, we will be able to weather decision gone bad? Financial modeling and forecasting from reasoned logic, realistic ranges for our significant variables and proper application of sensitivity testing should provide us with the answers to these questions.
