Böcker av David T. Moore

This National Defense Intelligence College publication defines critical thinking in the context of intelligence analysis, explains how it influences the entire intelligence process, explores how it toughens the art of intelligence analysis, suggests how it may be taught, and deduces how analysts can be persuaded to adopt this habit. "David Moore has added his powerful voice to those calling for America's intelligence analysts to be more self-conscious about their methods and more venturesome in applying more formal methods." - Gregory F. Treverton, Rand Corp. "...a valuable initiative on behalf of the Intelligence Community" - Francis J. Hughes, National Defense Intelligence College.

David T. Moore, author of "Critical Thinking and Intelligence Analysis," presents a new paradigm for intelligence analysis that he calls "Sensemaking, "a set of philosophical assumptions, substantive propositions, methodological framings, and methods." He looks at the failure of "normal intelligence" to propose a shift "from normal to revolutionary intelligence." Moore uses Churchman's concept of "wicked problems" to lay out the the challenge and he includes discussion of methodology and rigor as it applies to his system. Includes notes, bibliography, index, as well as comments from Phil Williams, Christian Westermann, Emily Matterson, Anthony Olcott, and Gregory Treverton.
