Strategic Intelligence

Turning complexity into confident decisions.

Iwa Analytica advises boards and executive teams on strategy, data and AI. We establish what matters to the decision, how reliable the available intelligence is, and what further work is worth undertaking.

Insight. Judgement. Action.

01 Strategic Intelligence

Start with the decision.

We define the decision, identify the questions capable of changing the choice and set the level of confidence required to act.

  1. Define the decision

    Clarify the choice, its significance and the point at which a decision is required.

  2. Frame the questions

    Focus attention on the questions capable of changing the choice.

  3. Locate material uncertainty

    Assess where confidence is limited and how that uncertainty affects the decision.

  4. Set the evidential threshold

    Determine how reliable the intelligence must be for the decision at hand.

  5. Choose a proportionate route

    Establish the most practical and economic way to obtain the intelligence required.

Data, analytics and AI support the decision where they add practical value.
