Explore Minerva ↗Research & analysis
Find the connection. Check the source. Build the account.
Develop findings from public records, online sources and conflicting accounts. Work through a realistic investigation, assess conflicting sources and explain what the material actually supports.
Professional practice
Plan the enquiry. Work with people. Establish what happened.
Learn how a discreet investigation is planned, coordinated and assessed. Bring research, observation and human understanding together through supervised scenarios.
Field practice
Observe accurately. Coordinate quietly. Record what matters.
Field observation is useful when it answers a clear question. Develop disciplined observation, team coordination and accurate reporting through practical exercises.
Emerging threats
Investigate the incident behind the convincing explanation.
A convincing call. An unexpected payment. Information outside the business. Work through an ambiguous incident and decide what to verify, preserve and investigate first.
Women in intelligence & investigations
Women in intelligence. Practical skills for unfamiliar situations.
Practical intelligence and investigation training for women. Learn to observe, build rapport, assess an account and make decisions in unfamiliar situations. Minerva examines how being underestimated can shape access and interaction, and develops the judgement to use those moments professionally.
For teams & emerging leaders
Private workshops and speaking engagements can focus on the issues your organisation is facing: insider risk, deceptive communications, sensitive enquiries or the changing investigation landscape.
