Event Description

Establishing a Competitive Intelligence culture within an organisation is a key element to the success of any CI practice. However it’s one of the most difficult things to bring about and is often a subject that’s largely ignored in terms of existing best practice and CI models.

This session aims to confront some of the issues and challenges facing practitioners when trying to create a CI Culture as well as examples of real-life cases from two strategic CI managers working in FTSE 100 companies, with 10 years experience between them, Lloyds Banking Group and Rolls Royce. This networking event will look at:

 

  • CI Culture from both an executive and organisational level

 

  • How these two elements interact

 

  • Breakout session to compile a list of best practice and ideas for creating a CI culture

 

As ever, there will be the opportunity for light refreshment and to engage with peers and practitioners warmly.

Always a delight to hear practitioner stalking about their art; real people and real challenges inspire others better tahn a shelf full of textbooks...
