Analytical Writing

In this training, we will concentrate on honing an essential skill in intelligence analysis: effective writing. Analysts will be tasked with revising old intelligence products, refining the Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) for clarity and brevity, and reorienting it towards a new audience. The end goal is to create a succinct one-page executive summary, distilling the essence of the original material. This exercise is designed to develop analysts' skills in concise writing and adapting content for a diverse set of audiences.
