Applied field experience, in print.

Books written from the field — not from the seminar room. Each traces how classical intelligence discipline can be taken out of its military context and made useful inside a civilian organization. Available in English and Spanish.

Intelligence as a Tool

The Art of Anticipation from the Battlefield

A true analyst is not easy to find. 90% will explain the past, 8% will understand the present — but only 2% will dare to tell you what is most likely to happen next. This book is about becoming that 2%.

Obtaining Information from Human Sources

Classical Intelligence: From the Battlefield to Your Field

Human encounters exchange far more information than either party intends. Classical intelligence is the art of absorbing as much as possible in service of your interests — while surrendering as little as possible of your own.

Obtener Información a través de la Interacción Humana

Inteligencia Clásica: del campo de batalla a la empresa

Augusto Boal decía que las relaciones humanas se estructuran de forma teatral. En cada interacción, consciente o inconscientemente, se intercambia más información de la que se pretende dar — y ahí es donde opera la inteligencia clásica: absorber cuanto más mejor y entregar cuanto menos mejor.

Navegar sin Niebla

Inteligencia y decisión en la empresa real

Casi nunca es verdad que “no lo vimos venir”. La información estaba ahí; faltaba el sistema para conectarla con quien tenía que decidir, cuando todavía servía de algo. Dieciséis capítulos y cuatro empresas ficticias que se parecen demasiado a las reales.
