Risk analysis within Fluor has moved up to a different level because of Palisade training on the software.
Waymon Lofton, Fluor Corporation
Each of the attendees said that they were able to bring away valuable knowledge from the training, and several have even applied this knowledge to current projects already! It really puts Palisade Corporation on the list of our valued training vendors.
Benjamin Juster, Futron Corporation
I was really pleased with the day Thompson spent with us. My objective was to stimulate activity with the @RISK software and this was achieved with development pushing ahead on several fronts. Thompson's knowledge was evident to all who attended and he was able to pass this on to a diverse group with widely varying skill levels. Good value for money.
John Pitt, Managing Director, Pitt and Sherry
(The On-Site Training/Consulting) went great. Bill was very helpful in both helping us understand @RISK and in using @RISK in our template.

Jim Murtha did an excellent job!
Tom Pyor, Turn Around Management, Co.
The Oil & Gas course was extremely well presented and organised; will have immediate payback.

Michael Rees did an excellent job. He has the mathematical background to explain how @RISK works, and how it can be used in practice. Indeed, the course was very interesting and helpful!
Dr. Sandra Quickert, Underwriting and Actuarial services, Hannover RE
I enjoyed the one day seminar on options training presented by Mike Rees. Mike possesses the formal education and practical experience necessary in the use of real options to allow him to present the material on both a theoretical and practical level and a presentation style that made me feel very comfortable. As a result, Mike was able to provide me with relatively easy to understand and useful approaches to problem solving for very complex subject matters. The end result of the one day training program is that I have new ways to approach, and a tool box of differing solutions to use, as I think about future cash flows and their effects on business valuation for my clients that need M&A, fundraising and capital structure development services.
William S. Conrad, Managing Director, Baldwin & Clarke Corporate Finance, Inc.
I found Michael to be an excellent instructor and extremely smart. I really enjoyed his approach.
Matt Lutz, FMI Corporation
Mr. Rees researched a problem I was having and addressed my concern specifically. He was a great help.

Michael Rees is outstanding, pragmatic, and empathetic to our goals. Outstanding instructor, very accessible, down to earth, and has a way with words. He explains things so clearly. Mike is a gem!
Alain Martin, Harvard Planner Group
"Rishi - great job! Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Well done."

Thompson Terry knows the applications very well and was able to answer satisfactorily all questions we had - great job!"
Mustafa Mohamedali, Washington State Dept of Transportation
"The training was excellent! Thompson is a great teacher. I don't see how it could have been better."
Kevin Formway, Anvil Corporation
The training from Thompson was right on track. I learned a number of things that I will be able to apply to my @RISK modeling right away. All of the participants spoke about Thompson's obvious knowledge of and enthusiasm for using @RISK.
Tim Owens, Corporate Planning & Risk Management, Nebraska Public Power District
Thompson Terry was very knowledgeable and explained the process well.
