The course also includes tips to build ones own professional pedigree - as the inquiring mind and constant learning are core to success as an intelligence officer.

  • Investment

    Being true to the principles of the profession while being able to harness the benefits of the information age are ever more important in the leadership craft. At the same time the traditional issues plaguing intelligence management remain; such as supporting decision-systems that: have biased viewpoints, decision-makers with preferences for certain types of information/data, may be inherently risk-adverse. Together these mean considerable intelligence management hurdles that this course helps overcome.
