Definition

 Defensive intelligence is the art of using
competitors own intelligence collection
activities as a method of encouraging them to
draw conclusions that are either wrong or
sufficiently inaccurate to misdirect their
counter measures:
 Defensive intelligence is a tactical exercise
(the truth becomes apparent at some stage)
but can have long term consequences

Objectives

SURPRISE
Reduce competitors’
ability to retaliate against
an event until after it has
happened

marketing and

collect

Why Does Defensive Intelligence Work

► Intelligence collection and interpretation are
inexact sciences that rely on nuances as much as
facts
► Intelligence collection is rarely complete and the
“facts” obtained require analysis and interpretation
before conclusions can be drawn
► Facts can be given higher or lower credibility
ratings by simple measures such as the number of
times they are mentioned, the quality of the source
and the existence of corroborative data – all of
which can be managed
The Intelligence Collaborative
http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab

Powered by
The Defensive Intelligence Process

Analyse the situation
Decide on the tools and messages that
will be used
Decide on the specific defensive
intelligence tactic
Create a defensive intelligence plan
The Intelligence Collaborative
http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab

Powered by
Situation Analysis
► Does the initiative to be covered lend itself to a
defensive intelligence program
► Will the competitor(s) swallow the bait
► Do they collect intelligence
► Where does the CI manager sit in the company hierarchy: NB –
defensive intelligence is played into management through the CI
department
► What types of events get them excited
► What is their track record on using intelligence
► How do they behave in response to intelligence

► Are the right tools available
► Can the programme be carried out without adverse
side effects
The Intelligence Collaborative

Powered by
Key Defensive Intelligence Tools
► The ability to manage the information that exits the
company by means of:
►
►
►
►

Withholding key information (Counter Intelligence)
Spin on what is released
Concealment of product or intentions
Disguise of product or intentions

► Selecting messages that are credible and sufficiently
removed from the truth to meet the purpose
► Releasing the intelligence in a manner that
competitors feel they have obtained genuinely
confidential data
► Pressure on credible sources
► The slip-up
The Intelligence Collaborative

Powered by
Basic Defensive Intelligence Tactics
The Decoy
• Real but relatively insignificant activities that can be built up to
take the pressure off the main event

The Feint
• Getting a competitor to set up or move in a way that puts him off
balance and reduces his ability to meet an attack

The Switch
• Changing timelines and geographies so that surprise is guaranteed

The Disguise
• Changing “sizes” and “shapes” so that true intentions cannot be
interpreted
The Intelligence Collaborative
http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab

Powered by
The Defensive Intelligence Plan
► To date defensive intelligence examples have
been opportunistic
► To be fully effective there should be a
Defensive Intelligence plan that specifies
► What is being defended
► What would you prefer the competition to believe is
happening?
► The specific pieces of information that will create those
beliefs
► The channels through which those pieces can be credibly
communicated without deceiving genuine stakeholders
► Responsibility for the programme – management and
implementation
► Timeline

  • 5. Defensive Intelligence already has some pedigree Wartime International Diplomacy Mincemeat Khod’eh Business Several examples Overlord The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Taqiyya Powered by
  • 6. Definition  Defensive intelligence is the art of using competitors own intelligence collection activities as a method of encouraging them to draw conclusions that are either wrong or sufficiently inaccurate to misdirect their counter measures:  Defensive intelligence is a tactical exercise (the truth becomes apparent at some stage) but can have long term consequences The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Powered by
  • 7. Objectives SURPRISE Reduce competitors’ ability to retaliate against an event until after it has happened WEAKEN Cause misdirection (and wastage) of competitor’s marketing and promotional expenditures The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab DEMORALIZE Cause competitors to lose faith in the intelligence they collect Powered by
  • 8. Defensive intelligence works best with new initiatives ► Product launches ► Product modifications and re-launches ► New pricing strategies ► New service policies ► Launches in new territories ► Changes in personnel and organisation The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Powered by
  • 10. Why Does Defensive Intelligence Work ► Intelligence collection and interpretation are inexact sciences that rely on nuances as much as facts ► Intelligence collection is rarely complete and the “facts” obtained require analysis and interpretation before conclusions can be drawn ► Facts can be given higher or lower credibility ratings by simple measures such as the number of times they are mentioned, the quality of the source and the existence of corroborative data – all of which can be managed The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Powered by
  • 11. The Defensive Intelligence Process Analyse the situation Decide on the tools and messages that will be used Decide on the specific defensive intelligence tactic Create a defensive intelligence plan The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Powered by
  • 12. Situation Analysis ► Does the initiative to be covered lend itself to a defensive intelligence program ► Will the competitor(s) swallow the bait ► Do they collect intelligence ► Where does the CI manager sit in the company hierarchy: NB – defensive intelligence is played into management through the CI department ► What types of events get them excited ► What is their track record on using intelligence ► How do they behave in response to intelligence ► Are the right tools available ► Can the programme be carried out without adverse side effects The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Powered by
  • 13. Key Defensive Intelligence Tools ► The ability to manage the information that exits the company by means of: ► ► ► ► Withholding key information (Counter Intelligence) Spin on what is released Concealment of product or intentions Disguise of product or intentions ► Selecting messages that are credible and sufficiently removed from the truth to meet the purpose ► Releasing the intelligence in a manner that competitors feel they have obtained genuinely confidential data ► Pressure on credible sources ► The slip-up The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Powered by
  • 14. Basic Defensive Intelligence Tactics The Decoy • Real but relatively insignificant activities that can be built up to take the pressure off the main event The Feint • Getting a competitor to set up or move in a way that puts him off balance and reduces his ability to meet an attack The Switch • Changing timelines and geographies so that surprise is guaranteed The Disguise • Changing “sizes” and “shapes” so that true intentions cannot be interpreted The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Powered by
  • 15. The Defensive Intelligence Plan ► To date defensive intelligence examples have been opportunistic ► To be fully effective there should be a Defensive Intelligence plan that specifies ► What is being defended ► What would you prefer the competition to believe is happening? ► The specific pieces of information that will create those beliefs ► The channels through which those pieces can be credibly communicated without deceiving genuine stakeholders ► Responsibility for the programme – management and implementation ► Timeline The Intelligence Collaborative http://IntelCollab.com #IntelCollab Powered by
