Robert F., Ph.D., Director of Corporate R&D Services, The 3M Company (USA)
“Great presentation! A must have! Very good session with the best cost/option/risk discussion I’ve seen. This should be required for every new crop of Navy Admirals. This session was awesome. Great presenter – kept us interested. He described and presented a set of tools for a senior leader to use to make better decisions. Dr. Mun was very animated and enthusiastic about “Real Options”. Real-world examples added significantly to understanding. Real – world, solid. Demand the audience to think. Very good real world examples were included. Simply outstanding!”
-A compilation of quotes from Navy Commanders and Captains at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School (USA)
“Dr. Johnathan Mun has been able to put together both the learning approach and teaching materials that make the changing of our cognitive schema of how we manage risk in a digestible form. Since the future of business is focused on vigilant decision making, the approach that Dr. Mun utilizes is by far one of the most effective mechanisms for supporting corporate sustainability.”
Kenneth E., Director Emerging Technologies, The Timken Company (USA)
“Jonathan Mun is one of the most gifted teachers of quantitative risk analysis in the history of global finance and business. All of his books combine science, art, intuition, creativity, and above all, they are acutely perceptive, always practical, and provide startling clarity, on the methods and pathways of proper business decision making, when faced with uncertainty. Advanced Analytical Models contains a vast treasure trove of over 200 (!!) risk models, unlike anything ever published in the field. Absolutely groundbreaking…The practical application of the risk models in this book, will keep the rest of us busy, for years to come!”
Brian W., Chief Risk Officer and Chief Financial Officer, GECC (USA)

We offer several hands-on training courses and seminars in the areas of risk analysis and real options analysis, taught by world-leading experts on the topics. Our classes are generally kept to a small size to cultivate a better learning atmosphere and to provide the opportunity for more one-on-one attention by the instructors. Courses are typically conducted in regional locations around the world (check our website for the latest schedule) in state-of-the-art computer-equipped seminar rooms, where each participant will have his or her own computer terminal.
The key advantage of attending one of our seminars are as follows:
Real Options Valuation, Inc. is the global preferred provider for the International Institute of Professional Education and Research™ (IIPER), and we have been granted the rights to teach CRM certification courses. On completion of our 4-day seminar and the successful completion of a live test administered on the last day, participants will be granted the CRM designation! Real Options Valuation, Inc. is one of only three organizations in the world with rights to grant this CRM designation.
So, how do our seminars compare to others? Surprisingly, our 4-day training seminars are lower in price than other so-called simulation courses, and at the completion of the training, you will receive your CRM designation, something that other firms cannot provide. In addition, the training will be conducted by the exclusive CRM-designated trainer, Dr. Johnathan Mun, founder and CEO of Real Options Valuation, Inc.; a professor; a world-renowned expert on risk analysis; and author of 12 books on the topics of risk, valuation, and strategy; as well as the developer of our Risk Simulator and Real Options SLS software. Compare those qualifications to being trained by a fresh college graduate with fewer than two years of experience at other firms or a general MBA with insufficient grounding in the theory/application of risk analysis. You will not only learn the practical applications of risk analysis, but also the theoretical underpinnings of these applications.
