Our programs make a difference because our unique learning methodologies combine intelligence techniques and practices, real-life and absorbing cases, and critical thinking methods to maximise participant learning. We immerse our participants and challenge them to think for themselves as a participant in their own learning – to be the best they can be.
All courses can be tailored, combined or modularised to suit individual and specific needs.
What is intelligence? Intelligence clients, purpose and benefits and types of intelligence. Outlines the Intelligence cycle and introduces some basics analytic techniques.
Outlines Intelligence fundamental processes and the intelligence cycle and then introduces the generic structured analytic techniques used by most intelligence analysts. Includes engaging and practical exercises and a major desktop application where participants identify their information needs, apply analytic techniques and provide predictive briefings about an intelligence problem.
Explores the benefits of how structured analytic techniques might improve the quality of analysis and analytic products. Participants examine real-life and historically accurate law enforcement cases and practice a variety of structured analytical techniques. Assumes an existing knowledge of generic intelligence processes.
Extends on the earlier SATs workshop and provides participants with the opportunity to use more complex structure analytic techniques by examining real-life and historically accurate law enforcement cases and applying more complex techniques.
After providing familiarisation with threat, risk and harm concepts and terminology, the course delivers an understanding of threat and risk in law enforcement and strategic intelligence environments to inform decision-making processes, priority settings and targeting decisions. Participants practice a variety of structured analytic techniques that may assist with the development of threat assessments.
The course provides a definition of FININT, how it works within the intelligence eco-system, and delivers a FININT framework and approach to conduct financial intelligence analysis. Includes understanding financial information and data, connections, capabilities and motivations and how to draw inferences, alongside data manipulation techniques to deliver high quality FININT – with practical applications and group exercises to consolidate the concepts introduced.
This tailored course is for current and aspiring intelligence managers and leaders seeking to build skills in intelligence leadership. Using a practice-based approach, the course provides participants with tools that draw from complex adaptive leadership, creative intelligence, systemic and design practice to help identify different stakeholders, their needs, how to ‘raise the heat’ and deal with these tensions as part of robust intelligence practice.
This tailored course is for current and emerging leaders in intelligence with responsibility for designing, building or delivering intelligence within organisations with complex, competing and evolving needs. The course exposes participants to frameworks, principles and tools from trans-disciplinary practice, systems thinking and design, design thinking and innovation practices to help create an intelligence function as an adaptive system that thrives in an open, dynamic, networked and complex world.
Introduces participants to digital and virtual currencies, crypto currencies including Bitcoin and provides an explanation of blockchain. Includes insights into cybercrime, the Darkweb, Darknet Marketplaces, with engaging practical exercises and live demonstrations throughout.
