3P derives from the three very important categories / areas in defining a reform process of
the national security intelligence analysis, namely:
– Process (the analysis activity, with his entire set of methods or means, internal procedures and standards, but also, with its various types of organization);
– Product (the results of the analysis activity, the products which are sent to beneficiaries
/ users and the feedback or the requests for information from the intelligence consumers);
– Personnel (the intelligence analyst, as well as the process of its selection and training).
Why these three P? I must confess that the idea of trying to define the analysis activity, and implicitly, the main parts of a reform in this important area for the activity of each intelligence service came following some discussions I had with colleagues, experts and
intelligence analysts. I worked, as co-author, to a paper (presented within an international forum)
concerning the evolution of intelligence analysis on these three categories: process, product and
personnel. Afterward, I found there is a whole literature that defines the management processes
(especially in corporations) or the performance in an organization / company in the 3P logic.
So, I will briefly approach, from a theoretical point of view, the subject of intelligence analysis
reform, and I will talk about practical component, starting from those three identified essential factors.
