Abstract
Nowadays, when information is abundant, ever-present and readily available,
how does an intelligence organization adapt, in order to collect and process what is truly
relevant, as well as provide “value-added” to decision-makers?
The information revolution has greatly impacted national intelligence. Collection
has become increasingly focused on large sets of data (big data). As more of that processed
data is available outside intelligence organizations, the role of intelligence professionals
has shifted from analysing collected data to provide assessments of current events, to that
of generating knowledge,, predictions and warning that help decision-makers avoid
strategic surprises.
Keywords: data analysis, intelligence analysis, big data, analysis-driven
