The analyst's job however is much more profound than that. The analyst must answer the question, "So what?" and deliver that message clearly, concisely, and coherently to decision makers. This course is designed sharpen the analytical writer's edge and key them in on the evidence, its meaning, and how to tailor their assessments to what matters the most to their intended customer.
