- Description
- Sources Sought Instructions Sources Sought SOW (Cultural Topography Training) FSI seeks the leading expert in this field of Cultural Topography (CTops) to work with FSI to develop a curriculum that adapts this new CTops methodology that blends rigorous strategic analysis with cultural factors to fashion a systematic approach to isolating and assessing the complexity, weight and relevance of culture as it relates to foreign policy. This CTops methodology was developed as a way to help address shortcomings in analysis and decision-making at the Central Intelligence Agency. We anticipate that this methodology will be usefully adapted to fits within a range FSI courses so that participants will be able to: • Identify entry points, themes, messages or groups that can help advance or derail U.S. foreign policy goals; • Develop more nimble and creative policy process; and • By engaging the process of cultural mapping (the creation of a cultural topography of a group or nation), foster greater awareness of one's own or one' institution's biases.
