Our students love our
approach to learning
As a senior executive and corporate director i have always been on the receiving end of geopolitical analyses. The last three days have provided significant colour and background that will help me better understand and challenge conclusions int he future. Specifically, this drove home the need to be very deliberate about the questions I ask.
Rodger Baker brings his deep knowledge and background to make this course useful, interesting and fun.

This course led by Rodger Baker and Dr. Steven Smith is a valuable investment for any professional who is looking for a new framework and techniques to analyze geopolitical risks for their business in a global context. The 7-pillar framework and scenario forecasting are valuable tools in understanding and staying ahead of the everchanging risk environment globally, giving you time to evaluate potential outcomes and implications for your business and consider mitigations or opportunities you may not have identified.
Ryan D.
The "Geopolitical Analysis" course taught by Rodger Baker and Steven Smith met all of my expectations and then some. The course provided me with practical knowledge and expertise that is directly applicable to my work and expands the breadth of services I can offer to my clients. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their toolkit for offering predictive analysis, whether internally for their business or externally to others.
