In the organizational context, there are many influencers and other issues that will drive the requirement for intelligence about the issues and threats which may have adverse or positive effects and impacts. The organization that values and manages intelligence carefully will be better prepared than that which does not look at potential issues and fails to develop information into a usable and valuable basis for action.
