A crucial factor determining the success of intelligence analysis is how analytical units are managed. This chapter highlights the importance of everyday bureaucratic practices to the intelligence policy dynamic, including hiring, training, offering exchanges and secondments, and available career paths. Given the decentralized nature of the Canadian intelligence and national security community and the importance of personalities, we find that the management practices of analytical units lack standards in terms of hiring, training, and career paths. This makes beneficial practices, such as exchanges and secondments and/or community interactions and transfers, more difficult. The chapter ends with a case study of the Intelligence Assessment Branch of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. |
