"Information and the New Intelligence"
Chance
and guess are two of the most common and important elements in intelligence
that have changed history. When one tries to rewrite history to conform to
their agenda, history is lost. Market intelligence is not only analytical data
or confirmed factual information; it is using those with a great deal of
intuition, experience, and flat out guesswork.
For example, when organizations make-up truths or create definitions of
propaganda, someone is hurt unnecessarily. Every time, moment, or instance when
history has changed or been turned on an event, act, spur of the moment
decision, or word spoken becomes a hinge factor.
Time
and space are one. The decision, the hesitation, or the delay results in a
pendulum swing of history. Set in motion is a new set of factors that determine
outcome with each moment, with each act. By design or accident the result is
the same.
When
revelations of secrets change outcomes, one may well ponder the historic
consequences of what might have been. There is always a bigger agenda or effect
compared to the obvious outcome. To be more precise, how often can one think of
something said or sudden act taken, which caused an entirely different outcome,
intentionally or unintentionally, but never-the-less it happened? Once put in
motion, it can never be retrieved - one incident, one outcome, explained or
unexplainable.
New
intelligence of today, accepts reluctantly set-backs and defeats, but never to
be surprised. To grasp the concept of intelligence as organized information, an
organization need only consider the difference between information and
intelligence. Indeed, when you compare the two, the difference between
information and intelligence become clear, but the realization of access to
intelligence has become so vital for effective decision-making by any
government or business organization for advantage.
The
best way to understand the difference between information and intelligence is
to have a couple of examples that are realistic, but hypothetical. Presented
next will be one government intelligence example and following second one a
business intelligence example. These will be written to provide some clarity to
better the distinction between information and intelligence.
