If SCIP weren't totally useless and corrupt it would facilitate the creation of a massive open online course (MOOC) for competitive intelligence. This would lower the barrier-of-entry to CI education and allow for the field to actually grow. By shifting the CI101 education to online they can then focus on specialized training and developing certifications that actually mean something.See More

2012 Presidential Election under the Microscope

Posted by Gregory I. Fickling on March 25, 2013 at 4:34pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Have just read the analysis of the 2012 Presidential election that highlights or recognizes that a claim that an Army of Computer Engineers, Mathematicians and Social Scientists (No Statitisticians
