Analytic Thinking & Structuring Part 1: Diagnostic Techniques

The number one reason for flawed analysis

is the failure to fully consider alternatives. The inability to properly structure problems and frame decisions is often the reason why we fail to fully consider alternatives.

This interactive online course offers techniques used in the fields of intelligence, law enforcement, and the military to structure problems so that we analyze alternatives separately, systematically, and sufficiently.

Some techniques are new and effective twists on age-old methods, other techniques were originally formulated at the CIA and are widely taught there and at the FBI. Each technique is completely explained, along with several practice problems – and feedback is available from seasoned professionals to ensure you know the technique.

The introductory price of this online course is $250.

Self-study lessons include exercises to be submitted and reviewed by an instructor.
