Intelligence Systems And Threat Assessment - Miah Hammond-Errey On The Confluence of Chaos, Calamity And Conflict

Something I’ve been mulling over a lot the past couple months is this last point - what do we do if we can’t relate to each other? What if our information systems are fundamentally different on a person to person basis? What do we do without a shared set of facts and sense of reality by which to agree upon and then work to address any issue or challenge of concern? To help me better explore this is today’s guest, Miah Hammond-Errey. Miah is an expert in national security, emerging technology and leadership and has built a career to date in the investigation of how intelligence is collected, made sense of and used in decision making in high stakes environments.I wanted to chat with Miah to understand how the best in business do this and how that applies to me and the Finding Nature community to help us all chart a course through mis and disinformation, an overwhelming information and data system, and what do we all need to do more of to focus on the signal and shut out the noise. Miah’s work is not only vital but accessible for the lay person like me, and her podcast, the Technology and Security Podcast is a fantastic examination of how a world that most of relate to through pop culture like movies and books operates on a day to day basis. Bringing fact to dispel the myths helped me appreciate again the necessity for how we can all do a better job of taking the time to remember that all of us are essentially allies on the same team, that being in right relationship is a fundamental necessity to maintain a stable society, and the consequences of what happens when we don’t invest in taking the time and putting in the effort to be curious, open and non-judgemental in trying to appreciate and understand the views and opinions of others - especially those we don’t agree with.We cover plenty in this chat, so settle in and prepare to be further educated on how intelligence agencies and systems apply age-old principles of sense making, how new technology is changing the intelligence game, the already present and future threats to nation states and individuals in this new digital age, and what we can and probably must do to play an active role in shaping the information, privacy and digital landscapes we are all participants in.Support for the show comes from:Reposit Power - get $500 off your installationAltiorem - get 25% off your annual subscription with code findingnature25Jamberoo Mountain Farm Tiny Home - get Hot Tub Sunset Package for free when you add Finding Nature to booking comments.For everything Finding Nature, head to our website. Get in contact via [email protected] me a messageThanks for listening.
