Hi Babette,

Yes, I am intending to get to Aussie at some stage next year for a holiday, but could easily work that around an Art of Analysis III or Wargaming course! There's also a potential big CI project on the boil tho, and I think it may be beneficial if I pop over and have a chat with you if it goes ahead too.

Yes, I'd love to join the Women in CI group, so have signed up.

Thanks,

Cathy

Hi Babette - Good to hear from you - I do indeed work with Glen and will definitely join up - an Australasian network sounds like a great idea

Hi Babette - I would be thrilled if you were to start/host a CI Australia group here - just click this link:

http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/groups/group/new

That'll generate a new group with you as the founder and you can then go ahead and get things started there - sending invitations and posting forum messages. As for an image, I'm happy to help get that up and on there - as we did before, maybe me logging in as you would be best with an image of your choice? Just send me whatever you prefer to use (I'm partial to Sydney Harbour but that might make it the CI Sydney group eh?) and I'll make sure it gets up and online.

Yes, Pavol, but I'm afraid you've asked too provocative question. Most of us share here the stand which so clearly appears, for example, in dissertation already quoted by me ( http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/xn/detail/2036441:Comment:24363...
