Mining
Within the life-cycle of a mine management system, from pre-feasibility to decommissioning, a mining firm is exposed to a wide variety of technical, environmental, financial, business and market risks. Risk analysis and management techniques can be used in many areas of mining from analysing survey data, developing a mining plan to hedging commodity price exposure. Vose Consulting has experience in and can help you undertake risk analysis and management that is specifically useful in the mining and minerals industry.

Oil, gas and LPG
Oil and gas exploration and production were among the first to embrace risk analysis methods. In fact, the founder of Vose Consulting, David Vose , originally started using risk analysis methods in this area in the early 80's. We greatly enjoy the combination of quick decision-making, high risk, engineering and science that characterise this field, and would be happy to discuss how we will be able to help with your risk problems.

Venture Capital
Venture Capital is all about risk and uncertainty and only if you are able to understand both and manage them well, you can expect high returns. Risk analysis, using techniques such as Monte Carlo simulation and Real Options analysis, can help the potential investor make better investment decisions by quantifying the uncertainty of a business plan and better determining and controlling the potential for making a profit. Recently, Vose Consulting helped a UK Venture Capital firm get a better insight into the greatest uncertainties and risks of a possible purchase. With help of Vose Consulting, the venture capital firm successfully raised the necessary funds and purchased the business for €155 million.

Insurance
The identification, analysis and management of risks requires an in-depth knowledge of the nature of the risk. This certainly applies to the insurance and reinsurance industry. The insurance industry has developed a wide range of actuarial tools to handle most risk issues they face. Vose Consulting offers more bespoke solutions to unusual insurance risk problems in areas such as operation and credit risk, and can organize in-house courses in (probabilistic) risk analysis applications in the insurance and reinsurance business.

Pharmaceutical and Medical Products
The pharmaceutical and medical products industry is characterized by high risks and uncertainty. The research and product development process within both industries is characterized by high uncertainties and long payback periods. Probabilistic risk analysis can help unravel the complex interactions between risk drivers, providing insight to support better decision making. Federal decisions that impact and dictate industry operations, profits and livelihood are being progressively determined by risk analysis based on industrial guidelines like those of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the International Office of Epizooties (OIE). If the pharmaceutical and medical devices industry is to present arguments and properly critique risk analysis, it needs to have the appropriate risk analysis skills. Vose Consulting can provide you with the necessary knowledge and understanding of risk analysis to effectively perform and critique risk analysis studies.

Academia
Vose Consulting has special relationships with several universities, including Harvard University (USA), the University of Tennessee (USA), the University of Pennsylvania (USA) and Wageningen University (Netherlands). In addition, we have cooperated in project related to risk analysis with many universities worldwide. We have also provided faculty, PhD and graduate students world-wide with general or specific risk analysis skills through our in-house and open courses.
