Spiral Dynamics is a conceptual framework that can help you understand how people make decisions, according the the Mind Tools website. Since analysts need to influence decision-makers, this could be important! Spiral Dynamics is a theory of human development, according to Wikipedia.
I propose that analysts could adapt this framework to improve their analytical skills - as well as to better understand their own value processes as well as those of policy-makers, commanders, officers, criminals, criminal groups, countries, cultures....

A Search for Cohesion in the Age of Fragmentation
Stages of Social Development
This all may sound a bit New Age but I am suggesting that you use your imagination and look past that element and focus on the conceptual framework to understand culture and behavior - it could well enhance analytical work and its value
