Paul Ormerod
Paul Ormerod is a Partner of Volterra.
Paul has many years of experience in working with companies to develop models to enhance their decision making. In the 1980s, he was one of the founders of the Henley Centre for Forecasting, and pioneered the then-innovative application of modern econometric techniques and electronic data to analyse price elasticities and identify the competitive sets of consumer brands.
He has developed forecasting and corporate decision systems using a wide range of techniques, including expert systems and behavioural modelling.
He is an acknowledged expert on advanced modelling techniques, and is frequently invited to address academic groups all over the world across a broad range of disciplines, economists, physicists, computer scientists and simulation modellers.
Paul works closely with Indepen in using the insights from behavioural economics to understand corporate responses to regulatory changes in sectors such as water and rail.
