Episode: 00221 Released on July 15, 2024 Description: If you're interested in the intelligence analysis profession, then this is the episode for you! Frank Elizondo, a retired veteran with almost four decades of experience, shares how intelligence analysis has evolved over his career and what institutional knowledge he'd like to pass on to the next generation of analysts. Frank emphasizes the need for analysts to go beyond the quantitative data and use their critical thinking skills to develop informative leads and intelligence. He makes recommendations on how aspiring (and current) analysts can develop their critical thinking skills as well as confidence and effective communication. Jason and Frank discuss how intelligence analysis has changed from pre to post-9/11 and how it may evolve moving forward. Frank worked both as an intelligence analyst for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and instructor, something he does to this day after his retirement. Frank is currently a senior instructor for intelligence and security for Empire Protection and the head instructor, course developer, and lecturer for IAM Integrated Analytic Methodologies.
