About Intelligence 101

I’m Ben Stark – Intelligence Warrior.

I’m an Intelligence Analyst, Writer come Author (recently completed a book on intelligence), teacher /instructor and critical thinker. I also know what it’s like to feel completely overwhelmed by information overload and ‘analysis paralysis.’ From a young age, I’ve always been fascinated by the world of intelligence. Perhaps it was too many Bond films growing up, or the desire to actually be a part of something bigger…

Passionate About Intelligence

I’m here because I am passionate about teaching students the skills needed to become successful intelligence analysts and start a career working in intelligence. See, I know what it is like to be unsure where to start, or feel like there’s too much information to learn and know all at once.

I get asked all the time:

• How do you get into Intelligence?
• What degree or qualifications are needed to become an Intelligence Officer? &
• (My Fav) How do I learn the skills needed to be an Intelligence Analyst?

That is why I am here to help you to understand what Intelligence is all about, and teach you the skills needed to become successful intelligence professionals.

My Experience

Actually, it wasn’t long ago that I had the dream of working in Intelligence myself. Perhaps I watched too many action movies as a kid, but I’ve always seen Intelligence as an interesting field to work in, and a way of being part of something bigger. Perhaps I’m nosey, but I like knowing what’s going on, and getting the inside scoop on issues.   During my military service (Army), I discovered a way to apply the skills, processes and techniques I had learnt to various environments. I found the Intelligence skills I had learnt could be applied to business, military, government, law enforcement to cut through the noise and provide intelligence that matters. It hasn’t always been easy. I’ve chased my share of rabbits down holes and typically browse with 12+ tabs open in chrome. But it’s all a learning process.

Learn Intelligence

Now I am able to apply Intelligence tradecraft and analytical methods to better understand issues, deliver information and make sense of problems. Since starting the Intelligene101 blog, we’ve helped hundreds of students to develop an understanding of the intelligence cycle, apply different techniques for problem-solving and assisted people in the processes to become intelligence officers and analysts in the intelligence community. So, I’m excited to share the skills, and knowledge with you. And, I want to help you to get the same results.
