How can cognitive biases and groupthink in decision-making be systematically mitigated? Red Teaming provides a proven methodological approach to challenge assumptions, optimize strategic planning, and enhance decision resilience. At the Wargaming and Information Systems Research Program at the Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS), we had the opportunity to discuss the method and its core principles with two of its original developers. Our exchange focused on how Red Teaming is applied in both research and practice.

Leading experts from academia and practice gathered at the Universität der Bundeswehr to discuss the role of wargaming in research and strategic decision-making.

In their article, former CISS Director Uwe Borghoff and colleagues describe how the Intelligence College in Europe (ICE) strengthens European intelligence cooperation.
