About The Global Intel Forum

As one of the U.S.’ thought leaders on intelligence analysis, and an innovative research institution on intelligence analysis best practices, Mercyhurst University has embarked on a number of outreach initiatives to capture best practices in the intelligence community. Toward that end, Mercyhurst hosts an annual forum in Dungarvan, Ireland, focusing on key intelligence issues from a global perspective.

Preparing Intelligence Analysts for the 21st Century

The Global Intelligence Forum intends to continue down the  path of intelligence  innovation and discovery we embarked on in July 2010. Then, we began by exploring the nature of analysis and its application in various intelligence professions. Later, in 2011,  we discussed the interaction between the intelligence analyst/practitioner and the decision-maker. In July 2013 we hope to continue to build bridges between practitioners and scholars within intelligence related professions, and discuss emerging 21st century intelligence best practices.  

This year’s forum will center on the greater shift the intelligence analysis field must make to account for a changing world. Panelists and contributors from the national security, law enforcement, business and academic communities will discuss the emerging trends and the necessary steps intelligence practitioners must take to address 21st century problems.
