Testimonials (2)
  • In the 20-plus years that I worked with Jay at CIA I knew him as both a highly regarded analyst and trainer of analysts. In this book, Jay combines that expertise with Steve’s to give senior executives in the private sector a new and powerful approach to identifying and managing risks that can undermine corporate outcomes. At the same time, the book offers private-sector analysts a step-by-step approach to producing assessments that support near- and longer term strategic goals.

  • “For over a decade at the Central Intelligence Agency, Jay Grusin and I worked on some of the toughest analytic challenges the Nation faced in Latin American and Asia. The techniques we used to manage risk, test assumptions, and deal with conflicting, incomplete, and sometimes inaccurate data—all presented in this readable book—are directly applicable to the business world. There is theory and then there is practice. Theory is cheap; the “how-to” is priceless. This is the “how to.
