Build Capability. Define Your Project.
The journey begins with two structured, self-paced remote Intensives:
- OSINT – Advanced Open-Source Intelligence
- Setting Up & Implementing a Competitive Intelligence Unit
These are applied capability builders — not theoretical overviews. Participants receive
- Structured frameworks and methodologies
- Practical templates and tools
- Access to a dedicated learning platform
- Faculty interaction
- Peer exchange forums
Your Individual Project Starts Here
During the Intensive phase, participants can define and structure their own practical implementation project.
This project:
- Is based on a real challenge from your organization
- Applies methods and tools from the Intensive(s)
- Serves as the foundation for the Activation phase
By the end of the Intensives, you will not only have upgraded your knowledge — you will have a clearly defined project ready for implementation.
