MasterCraft Series – From Data to Decisions: Intelligence 101 – Demystifying intelligence
This session introduces the foundations of intelligence - what it is, why it matters, and how it supports Australia’s national security and decision-making. We’ll begin by defining intelligence as more than just information – it’s a product, process, activity and contextualised data that is processed, evaluated, and analysed to reduce uncertainty. We’ll examine who produces intelligence and why, the range of customers, how intelligence is produced and processed, the range of activities, intelligence pathways, challenges - and what is the intelligence cycle.
