Course Description

Credit Validation for ISR University/Global Space University Participants Only

An analyst, in any industry, must gather evidence and conduct analysis. For some this is the easiest part of the job and often the most satisfying. 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. Fighter pilots do not require the same information or analysis as financial analysts, but like James S. Major states in Communicating with Intelligence, " ... the basic principles remain the same." This course builds upon those basic principles.
