In design phase for a year and development for another year, this program has attracted more interest, more participants and more feedback than anything else Intelligence Dynamics’ co-founder Steve Longford has developed. Unique in the training landscape ‘Dealing with Uncertainty’ helps participants to do exactly what the title says. Using just two simple models, one for the cognitive and psychological effects of uncertainty and the other a framework for decision making, the participant examines how they function in the modern world from both their own perspective and that of others.

Most organisations are judged on their reputation and consistently, one of the most significant contributors to this reputation, are the decisions made by the people within those organisations.  With ever-increasing demands for accountability and transparency for both private and public-sector organisations, the need for effective, quality decision making is growing. This program is designed to address this need and is a strongly customisable  as a 1 or 2 day program that seeks to challenge participants on how and why they make the decisions they make.  It presents a clear, simple framework that supports lawful and ethical decisions, both in the workplace and at home.

As the only program of its kind in the world, Navigating Culture provides a unique insight into the 4 drivers of the psychological engine of Cultural Adjustment. The result of over 19 years global research and development, it is now tested at Executive levels of domestic and international law enforcement agencies, national security agencies, the Commonwealth Public Service and the private sector.

The program draws on a body of research from diverse cultures across the world to understand the barriers to effective inter-cultural operation. Whereas most cultural training focusses on building awareness of cultural rules and knowledge of language, Navigating Culture focusses on the 4 Psychological ingredients that require mastery in order to successfully navigate culture and operate effectively in your role.

This program was designed as a response to the Structured Analytical Techniques (SAT) training that has become so popular in the past 5 years, primarily in the Intelligence field. Put simply, we couldn’t find any analytical technique that was un-structured. This program brings validity, reliability and consistency to your judgements and assessments.

The third of our fundamental level programs, this provides participants with the essential concepts, models, processes and language to engage in professional Intelligence activities and actions. More than an exploration of the Intelligence Cycle Intelligence Doctrine and Fundamentals provides the rationale for Intelligence practice and equips the participant with everything they need to begin building a career in Intelligence.

The most advanced and difficult program offered in any of our streams, this program requires commitment from both the individual and the organisation. Run over five days, the majority of which is exercise based, participants are challenged in terms of knowledge, attitude and thinking. Widely acknowledged by the Australian Intelligence Community as the benchmark for pure analytical training the Art and Science of Analysis has been experienced by hundreds of analysts throughout the country.

First developed over a decade ago this program is still the only one of its kind in the world.  Reading People has been updated over 35 times with new research. It was recently assessed by our partner, Dr David Matsumoto from Humintell in the United States, to ensure it was true to the current science.  This program transcends outdated concepts such as body language, hemispheric preferences and gender brain typologies to bring participants an understanding of the motivations and attributes of others and how to best read for them.  Reading People introduces the latest research and application for concepts such as psychological gender, emotional literacy and cognitive styles and provides a simple yet effective framework for practitioners to apply in the workplace and at home.

This course is set upon three assumptions.

1. The better you are at reading people the more influential you will become.

2. The more influential you become the easier you will be to influence.

3. Most ways we influence others are unethical and unfair and usually unsustainable.

Building on the base provided in Reading People this course has been designed to provide an understanding of the broad range of influence tactics and techniques using one simple continuum. It reveals why there is no one way to influence others and how the pursuit of easy influence has led to the increased use of unethical and unsustainable approaches. Drawing on the latest research in psychology, social influence and behavioural economics, Influencing People will challenge participants attitudes to power and control and show how decision making lies at the heart of every influence problem.

This program is unique in terms of its exploration of the forerunner to the use of “Cyber”as an prefix for many things. It will provide an understanding of how the human-machine relationship began and how it has manifested itself today through information technology and emerging technology. This is not a technical program but rather one that will help anyone understand how people, mahcines and information interact and will do so in the future.
