Training Programs

Corporate intelligence is its own animal, requiring a skill set distinct from public sector analysis. Our trainers have government and business backgrounds; they have worked for federal intelligence agencies and think tanks, as well as in corporations building in-house intelligence programs. They have worked in industries across the private sector including energy, consumer products, agriculture, and aviation.

Our team has developed analytic tools and methodology that addresses the unique challenges of intelligence in business – helping our trainees become more effective and efficient intelligence professionals. Our in-house and outside group trainings enhance your intelligence mission, build effective networks, identify opportunity in risk, improve writing, and strengthen internal customer relationships.

We can talk about a customized training for your team, or you can register for one of our upcoming programs below.
