  1. AQUAINT Scenarios and the Analyst Perspective (Lessons Learned from the Intelligence Community’s R&D Trenches)

  2. Lessons Learned from the R&D Trenches • Researchers don’t have a clue about how analysts in the Intelligence Community do their jobs to include differences, similarities & challenges • The Intelligence Community (IC) has not done a good job of transmitting the complexity of the analysis function in a clear and structured manner to empower researchers

  3. Lessons Learned from the R&D Trenches • Analysts at all levels (junior, senior, management) do not interact sufficiently with researchers to develop the “dance of change” needed to turn basic and applied science into tools and methodologies that add value to analysts at their desktop. • Neither the IC nor the research community consider the impact of changing technologies on the business processes until “too late”. Your technologies will change the paradigm of the methods we use to do our business today.

  4. Lessons Learned from the R&D Trenches • The intelligence analysis functions won’t change but the methods will. • The technologies must deal with complexity and diversity of methods by different analysts with different missions. • Interaction between analysts and researchers is critical. Both groups must learn from each other and work together to define the future. SO …….

  5. Scenario Exercise • Small group exercise • Two groups with multiple teams of 10-12 people. Teams randomly chosen. Each team has at least one person with analytic experience on the team • Group 1: “low hanging fruit” – what can Q&A technology do for analysts within 3 years • Group 2: “Shangri-la” - what can Q&A technology do for analysts within 7-10 years • 90 minutes to work on scenario • Informal presentation using any style - no more than 5 minutes long per group.
