Intelligence Competency across National and Transnational Security Systems

C Competency frameworks, including core, functional, and technical competencies, are a key     indicator of professionalization. Defining and developing intelligence competencies is essential for promoting and describing the expected functional behaviors of different intelligence professionals.  Developing an understanding of the current state of competence-based intelligence training and education in transnational settings will allow assessment of gaps and needs for intelligence training  in higher education and support the adaptation of intelligence organizations to change in an unstable security environment.
