Welcome to Spero Consulting.

Experts in risk management & finance; managerial control & incentives; MIS, web site design & development; and public relations.

Our rigorous, analytical, yet empathetic, approach to behavior, incentives, and decision-making, especially in uncertain environments, allows us to offer unique and innovative solutions to otherwise vexing problems.

Like the Basenjis to the left we are all-round hounds. We create value with thoughtful and innovative analyses and recommendations and by building stylish, well-designed web sites; all informed by a deep understanding of human nature and what others want. Contact us to learn more.

Risk Modeling & Valuation

We identify & measure risk factors, their likelihoods and potential damages and possible hedges.

We build quantitative models & Monte Carlo simulations of financial & economic phenomena.

Because not all uncertainty is measurable as risk, we recommend scenario analyses, stress testing, contingency planning, and training–we like to teach.

Thought before calculation™.

Information & Control

We solve or mitigate challenging business problems, especially those complicated by:

  • Imperfect information, including “imprecise” cost reports and/or
  • Mis-aligned incentives resulting from different tastes and goals.

We anticipate the effects of such phenomena on problems within departments and across functions, where internal conflicts-of-interest are most severe.

No unintended consequences!

Web Design

We develop attractive, elegant, focused, and search-engine-optimized sites that are easy navigate and to self-manage.

Now, any organization can realize the promise and the power of a web as both a marketing tool and business tool.

We treat the internet like any other business tool and sort through the confusion & choices to develop “what everybody wants in a site.”

Grownup web design™.
