The Design Capability

Abstract

Chapter Summary

This chapter focuses on design capability. The authors draw from the work of design models to define design for intelligence work. Design is presented as both a way of thinking and a way of working. This chapter breaks the design capability down to several critical activities, including environmental scanning, problem detection, discovery, problem decomposition and recomposition, brainstorming, critical thinking, problem definition, factor identification, hypothesis development, model building, and source identification blueprinting.
