STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS

The Strategic Intelligence Analysis, Forecasting, Estimative, and Warning Intelligence (online and in-person) course follows the iterative processes of the intelligence lifecycle.

Strategic, big-picture reviews and assessments that incorporate the social, technical, economic, military, political, legislative, educational, and security, plus demographics, religion and the psychometric (STEMPLES Plus) aspects of an adversary are lost in today's world of current news posing as intelligence.  Lecture, Hands-on, Apprenticeship, in-class exercises, student presentations, analytic products, templates, course material.
