intel analysis education & training: partnership between stellenbosch university and 4knowledge
DESCRIPTION
A presentation I gave during the IAFIE conference in Monterrey, US in April 2008 on the partnership between 4Knowledge and Stellenbosch University. Unfortunately I had to give up this wonderful opportunity in December 2009 after the university changed their costing structure, making the fees for the training unrealistically expensive. It was a big eye-opener for me to realize that universities are actually in the world to make money, not to create and share knowledge...TRANSCRIPT

The Harsh Reality
✖ Lack of political leadership✖ No uptake @ gov schools (lack of
capacity, disinterest)✔ 1st time all agreed on what intel
analysis is✔ The process has been more important
than the outcome

Approach to Intelligence Analysis
• Broader, integrative Decision-supportfunction rather than secret state function
• Applicable to all spheres where sense has to be made of myriad of conflicting, sometimes deceptive information to enable decision-making
