Introduction to Simulation:
The Athematic of Uncertainty

May 15th, 2014
We	
  will	
  get	
  started	
  3	
  –	
  5	
  minutes	
  past	
  the	
  hour	
  
“Our	
  culture	
  encodes	
  a	
  strong	
  bias	
  either	
  to	
  neglect	
  or	
  ignore	
  VARIATION.	
  	
  	
  
	
  
We	
  tend	
  to	
  focus	
  instead	
  on	
  measures	
  of	
  central	
  tendency,	
  and	
  as	
  a	
  result	
  we	
  make	
  some	
  terrible	
  mistakes,	
  
o>en	
  with	
  considerable	
  prac?cal	
  import[ance].”

  the

  of	
  LEGO’s	
  Enterprise	
  Risk	
  Management	
  
(ERM)	
  framework	
  is	
  widely	
  recognized.	
  It	
  is	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  foremost	
  
companies	
  to	
  use	
  Monte	
  Carlo	
  simula?on	
  to	
  quan?fy	
  risk	
  and	
  present	
  
key	
  risk	
  informa?on	
  to	
  its	
  board	
  of	
  directors	
  for	
  decision-­‐making	
  
purposes.	
  	
  
This	
  gives	
  the	
  company	
  a	
  true	
  understanding	
  of	
  the	
  vola?lity	
  that	
  it	
  
believes	
  is	
  inherent	
  in	
  its	
  ac?vi?es,	
  in

  that	
  it	
  can	
  act

it.
