Kudos for the ICCMP

Dear Mr. Shreeve:

Allow me to again take this opportunity to express my appreciation for your participation in the "Introduction to Counterintelligence Analysis" (ICIA) course held 7-11 October. The case study methodology continues to be exceptionally well received by the students. Your professional demeanor and the content imparted were instrumental in the success of the course.

Dear Tom,

I found DIA's Senior Analytic Management Seminar incredibly valuable. The case method is a way to great generate discussion, but we wouldn't have been half as productive without your insightful guidance. This was by far the best training course I've taken.

Sincerely,

Mr Shreeve -- Tom,

I write to convey my sincere appreciation for an excellent course and worthwhile experience. Over the last year -- my first as a civilian in this business -- I've sought to improve my work through self-study. Kent, Heuer, Herman, Analysis-related publications from studies in intelligence. I write this to state that your instruction ranks up there with the best of these works and I will do my utmost to push more of our people your way to benefit as I have.

Simper Fidelis,

Dear Tom:

Thank you so much for facilitating the "Terror in Tokyo" case study in our Political-Military Affairs course last month.

The participants gained a great deal of insight from your presentation and gave us very positive feedback in subsequent discussion and on the evaluation forms. They appreciated getting a deeper understanding of the Aum Shinrikyo incident and its implications for future strategic preparations. They also valued the "spirited" discussion. Class members recognized the expertise you provided on conceptualizing how to analyze this event and its importance to national security and regional stability.

Thank you again for contributing your time and knowledge to our course. We look forward to continuing to work with you and use case study method in our programs.

Sincerely,

A senior State Dept. training manager

"Thanks very much again for a stimulating seminar. The case study approach proved to be an engrossing way to address the seminar's core issues and you emerged as a skillful practitioner of the Harvard Business School's most favored teaching technique!"

All,

I wanted to provide you with a brief evaluation of the Introduction to CI Analysis Course offered at the NACIC April 2000. As a CI analyst, I found this course to be extremely valuable, informative and interesting. I seriously believe it is one of the best classes I have ever taken, including graduate school.....

But the most valuable aspect of the course was the Case Study Method used by Mr. Tom Shreeve. We covered several cases, all true (except in minor details) and relevant to different aspects of CI/CE....

Dear Mr. Shreeve,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! What a superb job you did presenting your Case Method Training Workshop (CMTW) to my instructors last week. I already knew of your contributions to the intelligence training community, but had no idea of the depth and breadth of your experience. It was truly a pleasure to meet you in person and to collectively brainstorm such a wide variety of issues.

As you are aware, here at the Joint Intelligence Training Activity Pacific (JITAP) we are working hard to get away from traditional podium-based teaching approaches. Our goal is to make JITAP's basic training available via web-based training (WBT) and then to use WBT courses as prerequisites to our more sophisticated practical exercise and case study training. This revamping of our effort will make more efficient use of valuable instructor contact hours and your superbly-designed CMTW is key to that effort. You presented an excellent example for JITAP instructors to follow and their feedback has been uniformly positive. Indeed, they are buzzing with creative ideas about how to effectively incorporate the case study method into existing JITAP curricula.

Again, thank you for your superb support; it is a rare pleasure to work with someone of your caliber in the intelligence training community. I look forward to collaborating with you on a range of issues in the future.

Very respectfully,

A senior DoD training executive
