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.
Keywords: crisis decision making, small groups’ dynamics, prospective studies,
intelligence briefers.
