"As
risk management is everybody's business, not just CEOs'
or Risk heads', everyone should attend. This seminar can assist
them to bring about an awareness of the importance of risk management,
and to equip them with the requisite knowledge and foundational
tools." |

"Trainer
was able to impart his knowledge on risk management
and foundational mathematical tools very effectively.
Rather than just lecturing from notes, he calls himself
a 'facilitator', getting trainees to be effectively
involved in group discussions and case studies." |

"This seminar was beneficial to me as Bank supervisor in our future role in that, moving forward, we need to understand the quantitative models that should be developed and can be applied by our financial institutions. I gained an overview of what should be done by supervisors in coming years as we approach the Basle 2007
Accord." |

"I
found the seminar to be very helpful. My practical
knowledge of active risk management and its tools were
next to zero before I attended the seminar. My
thoughts were always skewed towards the point that
equity investments' risk were rather difficult to
manage and mitigate as it was primarily market-driven.
My thoughts have been clarified after attending the
seminar." |

"There’s the saying: “If I give you a fish, you eat for a day.
If I teach you to fish, you eat for a life-time.”
I applaud PI-ETA for taking the latter as the approach.
We learn the rudiments of concepts, and learn the context for its application!
It goes a long, long way …" |

the banks access their risks even though this is not exactly within my job scope.
Very very interesting the way Jeff teaches us. The seminar was a very exciting
experience!" |

"I really enjoyed the seminar and the instant rapport between all the participants. Although it was tough going at times (especially the number crunching and trying to remember what I had learnt in high school!), I would rate the seminar as essential as building blocks for quantitative risk management. Seminar covered a lot of ground, over and above expectations and ‘set the stage’ for higher threshold of learning and understanding risk from the quantitative aspect. Highly recommended especially for those with mathematical and statistical background."

found the seminar to be well-crafted, organized,
and insightful. The approach was simple and clear,
but yet rich in substance and depth. It also
allowed me to have a better appreciation of risk
management, not just in ensuring the continuity of
the company, but also in applying its principles
in every aspect of my life, as I now live with the
guiding principle that 'The biggest risk is not
seeing the risk!'" |

"Jeff's approach was very engaging, interesting
and thought provoking. The case studies were
relevant and good illustrations that the risks we
are exposed to are often hidden and therefore all
the more dangerous. I also appreciated the fact
that he focused on both the "why" of enterprise
risk management as well as the "how" i.e. the
calculations." |

various risk to a simple level which definitely
allowed me and will allow anyone who has close to
no knowledge on risk to understand risk. I have
brought back valuable knowledge which I can use to
investigate and apply practically to better
understand where my current firm's standing is and
if allowed, contribute to the firm. All in, it was
an enjoyable and educational seminar!" |
