About the Course

Digital technologies are changing business, government and society worldwide. Clearly, they’re opening up new risks and opportunities for every sector of the world economy.

This course provides you an answer to these questions, and it does so from a unique perspective: by introducing you to the world of intelligence analysis. First, this course explains some of the skills that will command a premium in the digital age, and why. Then, it offers you mental models and practical frameworks developed by the US intelligence community to give you a cognitive edge understanding the digital world. This edge is not about spying or secrets. It’s about better thinking. This analytic toolkit has nothing to do with tired, static MBA-style strategy frameworks. Instead, these tools to help you come to grips with the volatility, uncertainty, ambiguity and deception of the digital age. Ultimately, this course makes the case that as the world becomes more digital, your future success depends most of all on asking better questions of both yourself and others. Therefore, it teaches you how to adopt an intelligence analyst’s question-asking mindset. In short, take this course to acquire a sustainable business advantage through clearer, more structured thinking....

Good, informative course. However, it is more designed around analytical thinking and applied to business scenarios rather than what the title implies. I would prefer to see a few administrative adjustments with the course: some type-o's existed in the lecture context; hyperlinks to a few of the readings required subscriptions (NY Times and Stratfor online) and couldn't be directly accessed; upon completion and when accessing the certificate there is an option to upload to various online platforms, Facebook, Linked-In etc...however, when the user attempts to upload the certificate directly to Linked-In it doesn't populate in the users "Licenses and Certifications" profile section. The only option was to make a comment about Coursera. Other online academic instruction platforms have direct links to add the cert in the appropriate Linked-In profile section with all data auto-populated. I would like to see Coursera adapt this technique.

The course is great overall: the Professor is engaging and brilliant, the contents well presented and relevant, the modules logically connected and flowing. The quizzes at the right level of difficulties. A bit disappointed about the readings: most of the papers are available only under subscription at first, and a few needed a lot of google search to get them. Many are suggested books. A more comprehensive, easily available and detailed bibliography would have been of the highest importance.

A good course that is easy to follow, if you are interested in intelligence analysis and actor modeling.

My main problem is that the course title is somewhat misleading. While Week 1 addresses AI as it relates to human capabilities, the core course material is classical intelligence analysis, which has no significant tie to the "digital age". The same tools can be (and probably were) used before computers became ubiquitous.

A good backgrounder for the concepts. It's particularly good at explaining the use of strategic empathy and "placing" people and organizations which is so important. It's a little annoying that some of the readings are either not to be found at the links or require a subscription to read. You can pass the exams without them, but it makes the course feel less complete if you can't read them.

Very intriguing and interesting. Great lecture style and relatable mannger of getting the concepts across. I can't give it 5 stars though, becuase of some issues with accessing mandatory readings, and the fact I would liked more consistent application to real world business or personal scenrarios in addition to the current scenarios shown. Great frameworks and strategies introduced.

O conteúdo foi interessante, contudo havia materiais publicados a muito tempo, podendo estar desatualizados. Também algumas sugestões de leitura não estavam disponíveis com acesso gratuito.

The course is interesting, but some reading recommendations are published long time ago ( possible out of date) and i couldn't access some articles because needed payment.

Just started this course and thought it will be about more of AI and ML but to my surprise , it was a foundation course to have these skills and their application in real world.

There are plenty of reading material suggestions in these course. Good for readers....

A very interesting course that allows you to understand the basic concepts and frameworks of Intelligence Tools. I would recommend to use another type of examples and not only focus on USA Army examples.

Here are few suggestions about the script of the course :

1) In few videos Centaur is written as Center.

2) one video topic - Start with an 0utside view then work inside. Here outside is misspelled.

Very good course, I found it quite interesting, only half of it I felt a bit confused since it is theoretical, all the rest is quite interesting data.

The content was good, nonetheless, some of the readings were behind pay walls that I could not afford.
