We are living through an era of great uncertainty and geo-political upheaval with growing conflicts, pandemics and environmental crises looming.

At the centre of this uncertainty, national intelligence analysts are monitoring the situation, to predict and answer questions about the capability of global powers, criminal organisations, deception and even the world of counterespionage and double-crossing. Added to this are the biological risks. This may sound like the plot of a Hollywood movie, but there’s actually a lot of ‘intelligence’ that goes into a profession in Intelligence.

In this session, hear about how intelligence analysts use mathematics and big data to monitor global and local populations, improve cybersecurity and biosecurity risks, and use structured analytic reasoning techniques for evaluating arguments, making forecasts, comparing alternative explanations and detecting deception.

Importantly, these techniques are not just of use to intelligence analysts. Our experts will talk through their own experiences and techniques, and you can walk away knowing how to think like a spy and systemically understand the world around you.
