About the Book

Strategic Intelligence: A Handbook for Practitioners, Managers, and Users is a primer for analysts involved in conducting strategic intelligence research. Don McDowell begins with an overview of strategic intelligence and analysis – its functions and its outcomes. He then outlines a proven methodological approach for planning and implementing a strategic research project for any setting. Strategic Intelligence explains in detail the steps involved in strategic analysis and includes examples, guidelines, and standards to further illustrate the process. Each step corresponds with a chapter in the book, describing the appropriate doctrine and/or theory, as well as applications of the theory, and practical hints for its implementation. Additionally, holistic and creative thinking about the problem is stressed in order to avoid narrow, biased analysis.
