Strategic Intelligence

Kristan Wheaton, Professor of Intelligence Studies at Mercyhurst University based in the United States participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Strategic Intelligence. Strategic Intelligence If we’re always thinking about the problems we face today, we have little time left to plan for tomorrow. Irrespective of cyberspace, geospace, or space (CGS), success today, or incoming tomorrow, would come because of strategic thinking about how we can individually and collectively, accomplish our goals proactively—instead of just reacting to the current conditions in a silo. This is especially essential today, when we are witnessing disruptive technological changes, re-defining and re-designing of the systems at all levels (global/ national /local), new ways of doing things, new industries, new ways of fighting wars: biowarfare, nano-warfare to cyber-warfare and space-warfare; shifting centers of economic power; global energy competition; global innovation competition, breakthroughs from synthetic biology– to nanotechnology, artificial intelligence to machine intelligence, robotics and block-chain and so much more. These ongoing changes and challenges are so profoundly complex; their impact so wide, deep, and overwhelming that they cannot be well explained or understood only in the current time frame (short-term). So, the question for each one of us to evaluate is: Are we so focused on today’s issues that we are not thinking about the coming tomorrow of cyberspace, geospace, and space? Conclusion – Strategic Intelligence Today, across nations, the approach to strategic intelligence seems to be fragmented, outdated, ineffective, and mostly about providing information that helps NGIOA decision-makers in short term, rather than bringing true insights about CGS security risks and opportunities for the long term. This is a cause of great concern. Time is now to talk about Strategic Intelligence!
