0:00 37:24

In this episode of The World of Intelligence, I engage with Ellen E. McCarthy, former Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, as we explore vital lessons from Wild Bill Donovan, the founder of the U.S. intelligence community. Ellen shares insights from her extensive experience, emphasizing the need for the intelligence sector to adopt innovative, agile approaches akin to Donovan's era. We discuss the importance of integrating open-source intelligence, fostering collaboration, and establishing a new, smaller intelligence entity that can operate effectively alongside existing structures. Join us as we delve into how these strategies can enhance decision-making and address contemporary challenges in national security.
