Total Cost Assessment
Wednesday, October 28, 2009
9:00AM-10:00AM, Eastern Daylight Time
The Total Cost Assessment (TCA) methodology relies on interdisciplinary expertise combined with advanced computing power to monetize the risks associated with a decision. This financial analysis goes beyond traditional cost accounting to show the various possible futures: worst case, blue sky, and most probable results. The Total Cost Assessment process produces valuable insight into a decision, such as areas where risks can and should be minimized, and where costs associated with intangibles: morale, community relations, and/or brand value; are significant enough to counterbalance traditional financial analysis. Businesses have used TCA to analyze environmental and health management systems, investment in new technologies, and mergers and acquisitions among others.
