It's no secret that the geopolitical landscape is becoming increasingly volatile. And simultaneously, never has there been more data that could enable companies, governments, and the intelligence services with situational understanding. So how are the intelligence services faring, and specifically the CIA?
Host Anjuli Bedi and resident Behavioural Scientist Meike Wolf are joined in this episode by a very special guest: Carmen Medina, former Deputy Director of the CIA, author of the book Rebels At Work: A Handbook for Leading Change from Within, and focus of Wharton School professor Adam Grant’s bestseller Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World. Over her 30-year career, Carmen built multiple analytics and innovation functions within the CIA. Carmen’s story doesn't just demystify how the intelligence services use data; it highlights that thinking differently about everything from apartheid to astrology can truly change the world.
