INTELLIGENCE AND CRISIS DECISION-MAKING: A BRIDGE TOO FAR?
INTELLIGENCE AND CRISIS DECISION-MAKING: A BRIDGE TOO FAR?

Summary/Abstract: Intelligence and decision making in crisis are intimately interconnected. Firstly, because of the beneficiaries of the intelligence activity (Davies, 2012), the decision makers. Secondly, because the acute need of suitable, in depth and accurate products (Hibbs—Pherson and Pherson, 2017), delivered timely is crucial in times of crisis. Therefore the interdisciplinary teaching, research and cross domains methodologies are crucial for the next generation of intelligence professionals who need to be closer to the needs of the beneficiaries, with a broader knowledge and a better capacity of communicating their analysis (Major, 2014). Our paper explores crisis decision making methodologies, prospective studies analysis, and scenario making instruments in order to provide a better focus and approach in intelligence teaching both in university and for specialization and training of the people already involved in the intelligence, when it comes the interaction between analysis and the beneficiaries.
