Course overview.
Participants will gain hands-on exposure to modern geospatial OSINT tools and methodologies, from automated change detection and demographic mapping to supply chain visibility and infrastructure analysis. Using real-world business scenarios, the course demonstrates how geospatial data can be applied to assess competitor sites, map target markets, monitor resource availability, and guide high-stakes procurement decisions. The practical emphasis ensures that delegates leave with both conceptual understanding and operational tradecraft they can implement immediately in their organisation.
Who it's for.
This programme is ideal for business leaders, procurement specialists, intelligence analysts, risk managers, and strategic planners who need to evaluate markets, assess potential sites, or monitor competitor activity with greater precision. It is also suitable for professionals in real estate, logistics, finance, and consulting who want to enrich their decision-making with location-based insights. No prior experience in GIS or satellite analysis is required, although familiarity with basic business intelligence concepts is beneficial.
What you'll learn.
Module 1: Remote Sensing & Imagery for Market Analysis
This module introduces participants to the fundamentals of satellite imagery, aerial photography, and crowd-sourced geospatial data. Delegates learn how to interpret visual and spectral signatures in imagery to detect infrastructure expansion, economic activity, and land-use patterns. Practical exercises cover change detection, monitoring construction projects, and tracking logistical networks, providing the technical foundation for imagery-based business intelligence.
Module 2: Geospatial Correlation & Competitor Intelligence
Here, the focus shifts to integrating multiple geospatial layers to uncover relationships between assets, competitors, and markets. Participants will use mapping platforms, demographic datasets, and location intelligence APIs to identify customer clusters, competitor facilities, and supply chain dependencies. The module demonstrates how geospatial correlation can support site selection, market entry, and competitive risk assessments.
Module 3: Applied Geospatial Risk & Opportunity Assessment
The final module applies geospatial OSINT to practical business challenges. Participants explore how to evaluate infrastructure accessibility, environmental constraints, and geopolitical risks using open-source mapping and data feeds. Case studies include assessing the viability of new retail sites, identifying high-growth urban zones, and evaluating risks in emerging markets. By the end, delegates will be able to transform raw geospatial data into structured intelligence for decision-making.
