Critical Analytic and Creative Thinking: Impact on Threat Intelligence
Thinking processes play a key role in threat intelligence. Understanding how these processes impact the analysis can improve the effectiveness and outcome of the process. This course analyzes different thinking methods and teaches students how to apply these methods in intelligence analysis. Each thought process has pros and cons related to differing problem types and how problems, whether tame or wicked, are approached. Analysts will benefit by understanding which thought process is most effective for their style of thinking and how to best exploit each of the three methods as part of a problem-solving process.
