I ...I see that until now nobody commented anything. I read this blog once or twice a week for a year and this is the best input. <br /><br />My suggestion is to continue the series with a link of this model (the "software") to the intell organization structure model (the "hardware"). I believe intell organization greatly evolved structurally in the last ten years. The classic pyramidal structure, fit for the classic Intell Cycle, is obsolete.<br /><br />Although the second picture is great (it's strongest point is the time frame) and I liked a lot, I see it as complementary to Clark's picture of Target Centric Model (Myself I am a big fan of Target Centric Model).<br />As mr. KW pointed in part 9, TCM lacks a clear time frame (where it begins) but emphasizes the relation with beneficiary and (if I may add), if you overlay an operational cycle F3AE in the middle you get the most complete (so far) and accurate representation of the intelligence process.<br />You can imply the time-frame in a dynamic (moving) representation of the TCM, but it is hard to represent it in a static picture.<br /><br />Picture one seems to me to have mostly an explanatory role and cannot stand alone as a model.<br /><br />Johnnie, ROUAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
