In our trainings, we offer you the opportunity to develop and grow in the entire intelligence spectrum. The focus is on the well-founded transfer of lasting competences, as well as practice and exchange between the training participants. The portfolio includes both analogue and digital learning formats, which ensure engaging variation and the highest possible flexibility. The careful handling of your data and the option of pseudonymised participation in digital learning formats also ensure maximum protection of your data. Embark on the exciting and rewarding journey to more critical thinking, more efficient analysis processes and more relevant analysis products.
Part 1 of the three-part Senior Intelligence Analyst certification series
online – 3 Weeks – part time
In the Structured Analysis Basic Training course, you will acquire essential skills for more thorough and less biased analyses. The focus is not only on the fundamentals of analysis, but particularly on the practical application of Structured Analytic Techniques (SATs).
You will learn to keep an eye on relevant actors and influencing factors and to achieve effective analysis results that serve as a basis for information and decision-making advantages. In addition, the training sensitizes you to cognitive pitfalls so that you can design your analyses more objectively.
By asking the right questions, you develop relevant products and sharpen your critical thinking.

Part 2 of the three-part Senior Intelligence Analyst certification series
In-Person - 5 Days - full time
This follow-on training course covers the estimative stage of the Analytic Spectrum, which was left out of the basic training in Structured Analysis. In this context, the foundations are laid in the three foresight areas of strategic foresight, horizon scanning and forecasting. A range of Structured Analytic Techniques are used (e.g. scenario crosses, the Cone of Plausibility and the Three-Horizon Model).
Furthermore, the training participants are guided and led by a facilitator through various analysis projects.
The training objectives are aimed at qualifying as a junior analyst.
The training can be booked per person.
Part 3 of the three-part Senior Intelligence Analyst certification series
In-Person - 5 Days - full time
The last part of the three-part certification series to become a Senior Intelligence Analyst has two main training objectives:
Firstly, training participants should be able to independently instruct in the use of Structured Analytic Techniques (SATs). During the training, the participants therefore conduct an analysis project provided for this purpose and each participant must explain and instruct in at least one analytic technique.
Secondly, Senior Analysts must be able to transform questions into analysis projects. In other words, they must be able to operationalize the existing information needs, develop solutions in the form of Structured Analytic Techniques, and lead teams of Junior Analysts through the execution of analysis projects.
Both training objectives are aimed at qualifying as a senior intelligence analyst.
The training can be booked per person.

The world of intelligence is a world of uncertainty. We are confronted with incomplete and contradictory information and with denial and deception. Despite this environment, intelligence personnel is expected to provide approximately correct answers. One tool without which this would not be possible is the generation and testing of hypotheses.
This Deep Dive Day provides all the necessary knowledge in a hands-on approach to be able to work with hypotheses in a reflective and systematic manner. It thus provides both beginners and advanced practitioners with the tools they need to navigate the many depths of uncertainty.
What you get:
Whether beginner or expert: Generating added value for your organization hinges on two crucial factors: understanding your customer and framing the right questions. Without insight into the triggers prompting the need for information and your customer’s objectives, your provided information may fall short of meeting their needs. Additionally, even if you deliver an exceptional answer, choosing the wrong question renders your work irrelevant.
To ensure the success of any analysis project, it is imperative, to “Get it right from the start”. Hence, this Deep Dive Day equips you and your team with actionable and structured procedures to consistently deliver real added value through your work.

The future is plural.
In this two-day training course, you and your staff will learn the basics of future-oriented analysis. Decision-makers can change neither the past nor the present. They can only try to influence the future. Therefore, analysis products should always be able to describe the range of possibilities for conceivable futures. Based on this, decisions can then be made that promote positive developments and help prevent negative ones.
