IF:
you are interested to develop your career in financial/project/industrial risk
management with compelling, engaging and above all profitable skills in
mathematics, technologies, theory and practice… or if your employees
underestimate or simply ignore the extent of uncertainty and its implications
in decision making…
THEN:
come to us for a seminar of your choice or a customized training program
where high-school level topics and trainees are prohibited to be able to start
with the same top-level paradigms.

The applications of high level applied mathematics to complex situations have
numbered in the thousands and have produced extensive results in problems involving
almost all industrial fields. Many mathematical models are never reported to the world
at large, because they take place at high levels of large organizations where security
and privacy considerations prohibit their disclosure. As high level business routines
become increasingly mathematical, many professionals want to update their
quantitative skills:
– An analyst wants to improve his/her quantitative knowledge
– An entire team feels stymied by inadequate technical skills
– A supervisor feels challenged overseeing a quantitative team
In this purpose Scientific Evolution Sàrl wish in a near future to be the thought leader
in Quantitative Scientific Management for High-Potentials with a comprehensive range
of open enrollment quant training programs all aimed at the real needs of today's
analysts.

Over the last decades, scientifics have developed a number of
models that have proven to be highly effective in their ability to
explain and predict patterns and variations within many areas in
business, industry and social sciences. These models use some
“building blocks” from probability theory to offer behaviorally
plausible perspectives on different types of timing, counting, choice
processes and organization methodologies. Researchers have
actively contributed to (and benefited from) these models for a wide
variety of applications, such as product sales forecasting, analyses
of media usage, targeted marketing programs, and production
control. Other disciplines have seen equally broad utilization of
these techniques.
Quantitative techniques provide the executives with scientific basis
for decision making and enhance their abilities to make mid-range
plans and to solve/understand many complicated problems of
running a business and industry with greater efficiency &
confidence.

• Quant skills are a minority of the population (math is hard): they
are difficult to found on the market and expensive (high-
potentials)
• Difficulty to use quant tools higher than undergraduate level or
even high school…: trivial decisions errors and profitability loss
• Many organizations fail in project and quality management
practices because of missing quant and high-potentials skills:
turnover and lost of customers
• Every descriptive statistic you read, hear, or calculate is highly
likely to be at least a little bit or very wrong
• All fields that don't apply scientific methods
evoluate very slowly or just fails (innovation missing)

• Quant skills and HiPo identification trough intensive tests and interviews
• Take your HiPo to a high valuable quant and scientific orientation
• Improve your organization using scientific methodologies
• State of the art consultants (R&D, authors, experienced) in scientific pedagogy
• C++/C#, PHP, R, Minitab, SPSS, Matlab, Maple scientific support and application
development.

The quant, or quantitative analyst, is a professional who makes
use of postgraduate mathematical approach to understand,
analyze, control, evaluate and simulate complex situations
(analytical problem solving).
The general concept is to make use of numerical analysis and
scientific methodologies in order to help decisions maker to
identify the most efficient choices and communicate them in a
rigorous way.

Other training centers add undergraduates and graduates
trainings about social responsibility, communication, ethics,
computing and management methodologies.
At Scientific Evolution Sàrl this is a part of the assumed
curriculum, and we are able to use our time to focus on real
