PIONEER OF PROFESSIONALIZATION
Als erstes deutsches Unternehmen haben wir uns auf die Professionalisierung des Intelligence- und Entscheidungsprozesses spezialisiert. Wir sind damit Vorreiter in der Qualifikation von Intelligence- und Entscheidungspersonal unter Nutzung strukturierter Analyse- und Entscheidungstechniken. Wir folgen dabei dem Ansatz, dass Intelligence Informationsüberlegenheit herstellt. Informationsüberlegenheit und strukturierte Entscheidungen sind dann die Grundlage von Entscheidungsüberlegenheit; diese mündet in Wirküberlegenheit.

PIONEER OF PROFESSIONALIZATION

We are the first German company to specialize in the professionalization of the analysis and decision-making process. We are thus pioneers in the qualification of analysis and decision-making personnel using structured analysis and decision-making techniques. We follow the approach that analysis provides information superiority. Information superiority and structured decisions are then the basis of decision superiority; this results in effect superiority.

Achieve information, decision-making and impact superiority

Companies and public institutions have one thing in common: they want to be successful in what they do. Higher profits, safer streets or prevented attacks - success can be defined very differently from institution to institution. No matter how you define success, it usually depends on two factors. Factor one is your own actions and factor two is the actions of other actors. It doesn't matter whether other actors are competitors in the marketplace, organized crime, or adversaries in military conflicts.

To be successful, it is necessary to have a faster or better impact than competitors or enemies. It does not matter whether the effect is in the information space, through an earlier product launch or a stronger presence in a particular place. However, in order to establish superiority in terms of impact, I first have to make better decisions than my antagonists. The prerequisites for this are structured and low-bias decisions and an adequate information base. This includes information about one's own institution and, of course, information about other relevant actors. The goal is thus to ensure information superiority as a prerequisite for decision superiority. In order to approach the goal of information superiority, companies employ analysts in various fields of activity. These analysts have to meet a wide range of requirements in order to fulfill their missionof insuring information superiority.“ erfüllen zu können.

Creativity, critical thinking and the ability to create truly relevant products are examples of the requirements that must be met by analysts. In order to meet these requirements, your experts need a sound education and training.

On your way to making the most of your analysts and their supervisors, we support you with targeted training, practical workshops and personal guidance. Together, we can lay the foundation for good decisions and thus create the conditions for your success.

TESTIMONIALS

Only invested in technology and not in personnel?

Together with Björn Lingner the first commercial for appropriate training of analytical personnel has been created. We are very pleased with the result. The core message of the commercial is that, in addition to technical capabilities in the area of collection and IT systems, companies and public institutions should also and especially invest in their personnel if they want to obtain truly relevant results in the end.
