Specific Learning Outcomes:
- Conduct more effective international literature research to support intelligence efforts.
- Distinguish different types of intellectual properly research, how each type supports intelligence, how particular factors can affect intelligence outcomes, as well as how to address these.
- Design and conduct research that supports specific and common analytical models that are used in intelligence, as well as the questions that surround these frameworks.
- Design and manage more robust and effective monitoring efforts for various types of intelligence projects and requirements.
- Evaluate and compare intelligence research software tools, their applications, strengths, and weaknesses.
Participants will develop skills and abilities according to professional competencies outlined by Knowledge inForm.
Performance Measure
Course assessment, exercises and discussions will measure and evaluate the degree of understanding that participants achieve over the learning process.
