In this video, Prof Teboho Lebakeng, Professor and Lead of Security and Intelligence Studies at the Thabo Mbeki School, UNISA, introduces the School’s Advanced Course in Intelligence Management.
Prof Lebakeng reflects on Africa’s complex intelligence history, shaped by colonisation and the Cold War, and argues that intelligence services on the continent must be repositioned as a force for good in governance and development.
The Advanced Course in Intelligence Management is a focused six-month programme designed for current and future leaders. It seeks to popularise intelligence, strengthen ethical and developmental approaches to intelligence practice, and equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to provide insight, foresight and, where necessary, hindsight to leaders and policymakers.
Taught by highly experienced former intelligence practitioners, the course focuses on three critical areas: the nature and purpose of intelligence management; the intelligence cycle; and the application of intelligence across spheres such as human intelligence, humanitarian intelligence, economic intelligence and intelligence diplomacy.
If you are ready to take the next step in your leadership journey and contribute to intelligence as a force for good in Africa, this programme is for you.
Key themes:
• Security and intelligence studies
• Intelligence management
• Intelligence as a force for good
• Governance and development in Africa
• The intelligence cycle
• Human intelligence
• Humanitarian intelligence
• Economic intelligence
• Intelligence diplomacy
• Leadership for policymakers and practitioners
