I find websites like www.wikiinvest.com as good starting points for CI projects. But again these are more websites than tools. I have not come across any comprehensive tools than can do the analysis for you and most CI tools I have seen here and els…
I've compiled a list of on-line CI resources here: http://augustjackson.net/competitive-intelligence-resources/
P.S. Elen thanks for the shout-out for the CI Podcast.
Hi Richard,
Seena's book is a great way to start your CI library. Here is the link to a prior Ning discussion on this topic which I think you'll find helpful. http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/forum/topics/the-essential-ci-library. I also use…
I am reading Seena Sharp's Competitive Intelligence Advantage and it is quickly becoming a favorite. I have read other books and found them too academic to be practical. I am compiling a list of recommended reading (books, websites, blogs, magazines…
I am reading Seena Sharp's Competitive Intelligence Advantageand it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I have read other books, but got little practical use out of them--they were much to academic. I am trying to compile a recommended bibliogr…
I am enjoying the book, still working through it with all my other reading, but I like the practicality of it. Practitioners of the art need more than academic treaties on the subject. And thanks for making it a Kindle selection--when you travel aro…
Well getting a clean feed takes a combination of good web-sources and appropriate taxonomy-based semantic filters. It seems your friend's RSS is clean and thus it may be worth to look at his/her taxonomy. Any insight?
Indeed Richard you seem pretty well covered as far as information retrieval is concerned.
What about analysis, sharing, collaboration with others? What about aggregating those feeds together?
Any insights would be helpful.
I use e-sobi. It is a rss and podcast feed reader. I can add the feeds I want, I can store pages for later use, I can set alerts. Seems to be more powerful than the free readers. SInce you can organize it the way you want, it provides a way to quick…

Do check out the profile of new member David Conly, an expert in applying TRIZ approach to innovation to business as well as technical processes. I wonder if you a) know about TRIZ and b) if you have ever considered applying it as you improve the performance of your company and your industry.

Did you receive my email asking for comment on some slides? No need to be polite, I need to know if the comments are on track or totally incorrect...
Also, can we arrange a call?
Maftha Matteo
Perhaps email would be a good start, if that is convenient for you. We can then follow up by phone. If you are willing to put down a few bullet points, we can structure a call around that.
Do you use SKYPE? I am a total neophyte with that technology, but when it works, it seems to be OK. Otherwise, phone. Unless you will be in the US, I will not be traveling to Hungary any time soon (though it would be a delightful to do so!!)
Thank you so much for your response. How did you meeting go in October? It was the meeting of the Hungarian chemical society, as I recall (Mavesz, I believe).

I am the person who invited you to the Euro Summit on CI in rome, 2008. Unfortunately, dur to a prior commitment, you were unable to attend.
As you may recall, my interest in your company, your industry and your Society was stimulated by the C&E News article by Ms. Pat Short (Jan. 2008). I am now trying to develop a short "example" of successful and innovative strategies of emergin economies, especially where technology is a factor.
I wonder if you would be wiling to have a short exchange on the "follow-up" to Ms. Short's report. Surely new challenges have emrged, including a) rise in petroleum feedstock without concommitant rise in product sales returns, b) new EC regulations affecting your industry (REACH), c) emergence of a new bio-plastics industry, claiming renewable and biodegradable raw materials (eg Novamont, in Italy). While the latter will still have to deal with rising raw material costs (corn demand is increasing for biofuels, animal feed and other uses), they are betting that the "environmental impact" is on their side. How do you see these changes ipacting your industry and whwat, if anything, can you do about it???
Thank you for considering...
