About this deal

Dit is echter geen vanzelfsprekendheid, wat Omand er in deel twee (over “checking our reasoning”) toe brengt aandacht te besteden aan mentale belemmeringen als tunnelvisie, groepsdenken en allerlei vormen van onbewuste bias, zowel op persoonlijk als op institutioneel niveau. I didn't find too much more insight than that which you could find in any intelligence text book, as this is more about Intel analysts than spies on the ground. Van westerse inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten wordt daarom niet alleen permanente alertheid gevraagd om bedreigingen te onderkennen. A subject deserving inclusion in education of younger people for their better appreciation, balanced against what they experience daily from media and social platforms, of events of the day.

Als rechtgeaard inlichtingenman met een wiskundige en academische inslag, onderstreept Omand het belang van “a systematic way of unpacking the process of arriving at judgements and establishing the appropriately level of confidence in them” (9).Wederzijds vertrouwen en aantoonbare betrouwbaarheid zijn volgens Omand overigens ook onontbeerlijk voor het smeden van succesvolle partnerschappen in internationale inlichtingenkringen. Na pewno jednym z najbardziej interesujących zagadnień jest problem misinformacji, dezinformacji i fake-newsów. The book is not about how "spies" think, it's about how "analysts" think, in particular intelligence analysts. There are some nice anecdotes from Sir David's long career and his references to intelligence methods (E. Across five decades, intelligence, its uses and pervasion in public society have been shaped and altered by a wide array of world events and technological advances.

Confirmation bias – seeking information that fits your preferred hypothesis – is well known in policing. The section on dealing with the deluge of disinformation and deception is also useful and well worth the time of anyone keen to see our democracies live up to their potential as opposed to being dragged down by demagogues. As a general rule it is the explanatory hypothesis with the least evidence against it that is most likely to be the best one for us to adopt. For me, the most memorable advice was from Omand's former boss, Jack Straw: ‘when in doubt, do the right thing’.Omand warns that cognitive bias can ruin your decision-making, discusses what makes strategic partnerships go the distance and lays out the threat of digital subversion to unprepared democracies. And perhaps it's a little odd that Professor Omand does not take the trouble to list the several failures of the JIC over the years, regardless of his beautiful formula: p(N)/E=p(N. Als directeur van GCHQ, het Britse equivalent van de Amerikaanse National Security Agency, zou hij in de jaren negentig van de vorige eeuw zijn organisatie als een van de eerste inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten het internettijdperk inleiden. Ten problem bardzo łatwo przełożyć na naszą codzienność, praktycznie spotykamy się z nim każdym kroku.
