I really enjoyed Leonard Fuld's Secret Language of Competitive Intelligence. I thought it was a capstone work of an illustrious career and explained the discipline in serious yet accessible language. It represented the state of the industry in the 2…
As we say goodbye to the "Naughty Oughties" I'm compiling a list of the best books for competitive intelligence - which do you recommend?
Well said Lance! The irony of CI is that, strategically, it's often best to ignore your competition and concentrate on getting your own act together.

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

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.
