As a business, it is vitally important to develop an intelligence capability either internally or through outsourcing, and to ensure that it is focused on answering the most important pieces of information that are needed by senior leaders in order to make decisions. When done correctly, integrated and layered intelligence provides situational awareness that supports and unifies every aspect of a business toward a common operational picture and situational understanding of the business environment in which the company seeks to thrive. It provides not only advanced warning of threats, but advanced warning of opportunity as well. The application of intelligence and analytical principles to provide the necessary information and intelligence is as much an art as it is a science. It helps to develop sound and feasible strategic and operational plans that are feasible and suitable, with risks mitigated as much as possible.
