5.0 out of 5 stars The best book for forward looking and what-if business models
I spent ten years not realizing I needed this book. It’s revolutionized my approach to modeling business questions and finding answers.
The best book I know for using Excel for asking, and then answering, tough questions about things like pricing, discounts, margins, channels, anything that can be quantified or measured.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great Foundation from which to build your Modeling Skills
As an aspiring Quant Trader & Entrepreneur coming from an Cloud Computing background, one of the things that I am most acutely aware of is the need to develop modeling skills. While this book will not make you a quant by any stretch of the imagination, what it will do is expose you to all of the key components and methods necessary to build solid, usable models with a good degree of requirements and assumption traceability. The author takes you through nearly every consideration you would need to build a quality model [save one — modeling uncertainty as another reviewer pointed out] both programmatic and some general numerical concepts. The result is that your models should be usable by many w/ in your organization, and in turn will create the calling card that opens greater opportunities for professional development and advancement.
I have two books that I swear by as my foundation for understanding any business – This one and Business Model Generation.
