Strategic Intelligence Analysis
Forecasting, Estimative and Warning Intelligence

In-Person - 3 days

The Strategic Intelligence Analysis, Forecasting, Estimative and Warning Intelligence course follows the iterative processes of the intelligence lifecycle. Strategic analysis requires a breakdown of the complexity’s analysts face during data examination. Keeping the analysis and results relevant is difficult. Analysts need to find ways to organize, rank, and present their findings. Analyst’s always keep a close eye on what the findings will mean to the stakeholders.

Stakeholders need to understand that analysts always work with incomplete and fragmented data. Adversaries work hard to deny analysts the data. Their methods include various types of deception.

This course provides analysts with a framework reducing many of the problems faced with fragmented data.
