  4. Need for Intelligence Management EducationGrowing Threats – Tighter Resources PAST 9-11 PRESENT & FUTURE SOVIET UNION “NEAR PEER,” “ROGUE STATES,” GLOBAL ISSUES & ASYMMETRICAL THREATS • Rational Nation-State Actor • Deterrence / Influence Models Understood • Single Adversary • Permitted Focus • Many Subject Matter Experts • Lots Of Data Collection & Analytical Experience • Strategy, Doctrine, Tactics Known • Major Attack Potentially Devastating, But Unlikely • Numerous Actors, Including Non-State Groups & Individuals • Rationality Not Assured • Deterrence / Influence Models Uncertain • Diffused Focus • Diverse Collection & Analysis Demands • Fewer Subject Matter Experts • Strategy, Doctrine, Tactics Largely Unknown • Expectations Higher-- US Has Been Attacked • Capabilities To Inflict Mass Casualties / Effects Available & Affordable • High Impact Attack(s) Much More Likely IAFIE 2011 Symposium

  5. Need for Intelligence Management EducationMaintaining our Intelligence Advantage • Collection: Requirements -- What to collect, how frequently, what fidelity • What collection system(s) -- SIGINT, GEOINT, HUMINT, MASINT, OSINT • Decision-making -- Cost-Benefit Analyses, modeling & simulation, ops research • Infrastructure needs – Communications (What bandwidths, what frequencies, what loads, what reliability, what security), Training & Education, Security, and Info technology • Analysis – What SMEs, how many, what languages, what kinds of physical scientists IAFIE 2011 Symposium “Directing, guiding, or controlling actions that reduce risk and/or uncertainty for decision-makers”

  8. Need for Intelligence Management EducationMetrics: Qualitative Factors • TIMELY – On Time Or Not? • ACCURATE – Complete & Correct? • ACTIONABLE – Use Immediately, Future Planning, Data Base? • SIGNIFICANCE – How Important? • NEW – Info Not Previously Known • UNIQUE – Sole-Source of Intel? • CLASSIFICATION – SCI, SECRET, Releasable, UNCLAS IAFIE 2011 Symposium

  9. Need for Intelligence Management EducationAttributes of Good Metrics • Specific – Focused on and Tailored for Objective You Are Measuring • Measurable – Data Collected Is Accurate and Complete for Both Objective and Subjective Information • Actionable – Easy to Understand and Clear As to What Is “Good” and What Is “Bad” • Relevant –Measure Things That Are Important • Timely – You Can Get Data When You Need It • Unbiased – Independently Validated • Repeatable – “Scientific” Process Is Well-Defined & May Be Repeated & Modified IAFIE 2011 Symposium
