Patrick Leach draws on his extensive consulting and teaching experience to present a compelling, insightful, and understandable case for using probabilistic analysis as part of every day business decision-making. Practical examples and case studies are clearly presented. Mr. Leach is an experienced conference speaker, business trainer, and consultant. He makes a clear, concise case for appropriate implementation of probabilisitic analysis. Rather than get bogged down with equations and complexity, he shares his insight and the benefits of his experience (and some key research by others) in a way that is readable, useful, and memorable.

I've convinced myself I need to understand probabilistic risk assessment as part of my study of nuclear energy. This title has nothing to do with nuclear energy and not much to do with risk assessment, but it is a good introduction to Monte Carlo simulations, when to use them, and other decision analysis tools. Sort of made me miss the private sector.
