If you checked out last week’s episode, you know that Barry Eisler is a bestselling author with a lot to say about the publishing industry. What you might not know is that he also used to work for the CIA, and he’s got a lot to say about that world as well. This week, Barry is back to talk about the culture and inner workings of the intelligence community.
Roughly paraphrasing Barry Eisler:
[the lack of discussion of cost/benefit analysis is a] tell that fear is turned on and brain is turned off
The cost/benefit analysis discussion alone is worth listening to the podcast.
Question: When was the last time you heard cost/benefit analysis in the context of a cybersecurity or terrorism discussion?
Ask about cost/benefit analysis early and often.
PS: If you go searching for resources on “cost-benefit analysis,” it is also known as “benefit-cost analysis.”
