About the masterclass
Intelligence Tools for the Business Professional: Everyone – including your competition – leaves business school understanding the basics of company accounts, financial markets, and economic indicators. That's a dangerously naive career tool kit. Working in business or finance, you'll need to judge the most likely moves of M&A rivals, and to probe the incentives of politicians, regulators and central bankers. You'll also need to keep the geopolitical "big picture" in mind, and have an appreciation for your own and others’ psychological biases. This master class introduces a set of methods drawn from the intelligence community to help you analyze the flood of qualitative information – what I call non-spreadsheet or non-market risks and opportunities – that impact business and financial markets. It is designed so that after this class, you’ll ask better questions, and you’ll use economic, political, social, and personal information to make better decisions.
