The Third Edition of Structured Analytic Techniques for Intelligence Analysis by Randolph H. Pherson and Richards J. Heuer Jr showcases sixty-six structured analytic techniques―nine new to this edition―that represent the most current best practices in intelligence, law enforcement, homeland security, and business analysis. With more depth, detail, and utility than existing handbooks, each technique is clearly and systematically explained. Logically organized and richly illustrated, and with spiral binding and tabs that separate techniques into categories, this book is an easy-to-use, comprehensive reference.

Treasure trove

This is like stepping into a treasure tomb with timeless tools. For someone who is not from law enforcement agencies but from a business world - skill in structured analysis techniques are equally important as learning business intelligence systems; in fact it’s more important now in the post Covid-19 world.

Excellent resource.

Enough said.

An Excellent Desk Reference Publication

The third edition of this excellent reference publication just keeps getting better and better. I used my second edition so often, that I wore out the cover. When it came time to upgrade I decided to buy the Kindle version. The only negative comment that I have is that some analytic techniques are dropped in favour of adding others in subsequent editions. This occurred with the first and second editions, and now with the second and third editions.

It's not a book you curl up by the fire with. But it's a fantastic reference.

This is a great reference book for the techniques presented. It puts them in context, how to use them, and how to get the most value for your analysis requirements. Some of them are a bit harder to grok like the way they explain Quadrant Crunching, but the examples bring it together nicely. You might want to practice the techniques and to do that you might consider the companion case study book so you can try the techniques out.
