Interesting presentation – but really liked the Prezi – if you have not seen one of these have a look

The discussions/handout covered many points including:

• As a discipline, intelligence seeks to remain an independent, objective advisor to the decision maker.
• The realm of intelligence is that judgment and probability, but not prescription.
• The Intelligence product does NOT tell the decision maker what to do, but rather, identifies the factors at play, and how various actions may affect outcomes.
• Intelligence analysts must actively review the accuracy of their mind-sets by applying structured analytic techniques coupled with divergent thinking
• Critical thinking clarifies goals, examines assumptions, discerns hidden values, evaluates evidence, accomplishes actions, and assesses inferences/conclusions
• Networking, coordinating, cooperating, collaboration, and multi-sector collaboration accomplish different goals and require different levels of human resources, trust, skills, time, and financial resources – but worth it to ensure coverage of issues.
• Counterintelligence and Security to protect your own position
• and more….

I liked the stages of Intelligence Driven Organizations in the Prezi.
