This course introduces analysts to the historical context of strategic analysis through broader concepts of thinking and analyzing more strategic aspects. A key component of modern analytical investigations is the ability to collect and analyze multiple data sets and information sources to generate a holistic product. Introduction to Strategic Intelligence Analysis (ISIA) expands on the basic principles of strategic analysis explored in the Foundations of Intelligence Analysis Training (FIAT) while building a framework for real-world application and broader occupational contexts.

Key concepts covered in this course include:
• Understanding the process of strategic analysis
• Current trends
• Collecting, collating, and analyzing multiple sources of data

Note: Some of the concepts covered in ISIA are also covered in NW3C’s four-day FIAT instruction; therefore, some of the material in ISIA can be duplicative for prior FIAT students.

Closed captioning is always available to students. Live speech-to-text language translations to 100 different languages is also available. Contact support@nw3c.org if you would like this service.
