For intelligence professionals working across complexity, ambiguity, and long-range impact
The Strategic Thinking for Intelligence Workshop equips intelligence professionals with the tools, mindsets, and frameworks needed to operate effectively in strategic environments. Across two immersive days, participants will explore how to move from tactical detail to big-picture insight; helping organisations make smarter, longer-range decisions under conditions of uncertainty.
This isn’t a theory-heavy workshop. It’s grounded in real-world practice, using systems thinking, structured foresight, and risk framing to help analysts expand their impact and speak meaningfully to decision-makers.
Understand the shift from tactical to strategic thinking in intelligence contexts
Use foresight, scenario planning, and systems mapping
Identify long-range risks, opportunities, and drivers of change
Build insights that support strategic planning and investment decisions
Embed strategic habits in day-to-day work
