Intelligence Analysis in the Knowledge Age Intelligence Analysis in the Knowledge Age An Analysis of the Challenges facing the Practice of Intelligence Analysis Magdalena Adriana Duvenage Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (Information and Knowledge Management) SUPERVISOR: Prof J Kinghorn STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY MARCH 2010 DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 12 February 2010 Copyright © 2010 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Afrikaanse Opsomming Die internasionale intelligensie gemeenskap steier steeds na verskeie intelligensie terugslae die afgelope dekade. Voorstelle om intelligensie analise te verbeter het weinig impak terwyl analiste, hulle bestuurders en organisasies voortgaan om vas te hou aan uitgediende bedreigingsperspesies, analitiese metodes en organisatoriese strukture en kulture. Deur die lens van Kennis Bestuur, poog hierdie verhandeling om die verskeie uitdagings wat die Intelligensie Analise praktyk in die Kennis Era in die gesig staar, te identifiseer. Eerstens word bestaande teorieë en konsepte in Intelligensie Analise met dié in Kennis Bestuur vergelyk en die moontlikheid van ‘n nuwe woordeskat vir intelligensie word bespreek. Die tweede uitdaging vir intelligensie analiste is om by die nuwe wêreld en versnellende verandering aan te pas. Hulle word nou gekonfronteer met ‘n bedreigingsprent wat veelvlakkig, kompleks en multi-dissiplinêr is. Die derde uitdaging is om die bestaande analitiese metodologiëe, hulpmiddels en tegnieke te herwaardeer in die lig van hierdie nuwe wêreld. Die vierde uitdaging is om na ander dissiplines, insluitend dié van Kennis Bestuur, uit te reik sodat Intelligensie Analise verbeter kan word deur die toepassing van hierdie dissiplines se analitiese metodes (beide intuitief en gestruktureerd), hul kognitiewe en samewerkings modelle, sowel as organisasie struktuur konsepte. Laastens word geargumenteer dat Intelligensie Analiste dalk gereed is om hulself te vernuwe, maar dat hul intelligensie organisasies nie ‘n nuwe intelligensie paradigma kan ondersteun terwyl hulle voortgaan om bedreigingspersepsies, strukture en bestuurbeginsels toe te pas wat eerder by die Koue Oorlog tuis hoort nie. English Summary The intelligence community throughout the world is still reeling after several intelligence failures. Proposals to improve Intelligence Analysis have had little impact as analysts, their managers and their organisations continue to cling to outdated threat perceptions, methodologies and organisational structures and cultures. This thesis looks through the lens of Knowledge Management at the various challenges that the Intelligence Analysis practice is faced with in the Knowledge Age. Firstly, theories and concepts from Intelligence Analysis are challenged when compared with those in Knowledge Management and the possibility of applying new vocabularies in intelligence is discussed. The second challenge intelligence analysts face is to understand and adapt to the changed world with its connected, non-linear and rapidly enfolding events and patterns which broadens their scope to a multi-faceted, complex and multi-disciplinary threat picture. The third challenge is to re-look the existing analytical methodologies, tools and techniques, realising that these are most probably inadequate in a complex environment. The fourth challenge Intelligence Analysis faces is to reach out to other disciplines and assess how new analytical techniques, both intuitive and structured, as well as cognitive models, collaborative and organisational structure concepts from within the Knowledge Management discipline can improve Intelligence Analysis’ grasp of the Knowledge Age. In conclusion, it is argued that intelligence analysts might be ready to reinvent themselves to address Knowledge Age issues, but that intelligence organisations are not able to support a new intelligence paradigm while still clinging to threat perceptions and structures befitting the Cold War. Dedication I would like to dedicate this thesis to my husband, Awie, for his unwavering support and patience when I struggled to find balance between my studies and the demands of being a mom and entrepreneur. To my sons, Armand and Cornel, this thesis bears testimony that studies can be fun and rewarding when you love what you’re doing. I hope you fulfil all your dreams! Prof Johan Kinghorn, my study leader, allowed me enough leeway to exploit a new topic - the nexus between Knowledge Management and Intelligence Analysis. I am grateful for his enthusiasm and guidance. My friends and colleagues, both from South Africa and those overseas, have added value and insight to my arguments - giving this thesis a much broader application value than what I could have achieved on my own. Above all, the faithfulness of my Lord, Jesus Christ, has proved yet again infallible – I am truly blessed! Table of Contents 1. Introduction ……………………. 1 1.1. Focus of the thesis ……………………. 2 1.2.

It was then that consideration was given to a proposed agenda for the forthcoming European Heads of Training Conference to be held in Scotland in June that same year. Many such conferences, in all disciplines, provide useful guidance and information to those in attendance. Often however there is little or no resultant legacy in terms of actual and tangible continuous development.

  • Outsourcing Intelligence Analysis: Legal and Policy Risks
    STUDENT NOTE Outsourcing Intelligence Analysis: Legal and Policy Risks Joshua R. Storm* INTRODUCTION Intelligence reduces uncertainty in con¯ict, whether in trade negotiations between allies with similar, but individual interests, or in combat operations against a foreign state or terrorist group.1 Providing this intelligence involves col- lecting, processing, analyzing, and disseminating information to decision mak- ers.2 Key among these is analysis, de®ned by the R AND Corp. as ªthe process by which the information collected about an enemy is used to answer tactical ques- tions about current operations or to predict future behavior.º3 Beyond the tactical level, analysis is also necessary to provide the strategic and operational intelli- gence required to establish overarching policies and to develop operational plans to execute those policies. 4 In this manner, analysis is one of the most critical func- tions provided by the civilian and military entities that make up the intelligence community (IC). At the same time, analysis often is not performed by govern- ment personnel. For example, of core contract personnel within the intelligence community, 19 percent directly supported analysis and production as of 2007.5 This note explores the rise of outsourcing in the intelligence community and examines the legal and policy implications of outsourcing intelligence analysis in particular. First, it discusses the organizational and operational pressures that led to the increased use of contractors in the intelligence community after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Next, it identi®es the origins of the inherently gov- ernmental function test, used to determine when a government activity be out- sourced.
