What irony Richard,
One of my Mentors is your namesake - Richard Silva
Richard Silva was with Spectre in Vietnam.
Please read my posts regarding OODA,mentioned previously in this thread.
I fully agree with you Richard.

Thank You Sheila!
I appreciate that you took the time to respond. I'll check it out.
Again, Sincere Thanks.

Totally agree. You need someone that likes to dig to the root cause of things. I think Monk would be an excellent CI/CA professional. You need to be a tad bit OCD to do this work. You have to be able to see the trends where others miss. Take 2+2 a...
Your posted comment will come up on a box but it is a delayed posting. Click anywhere in the box and the background will go yellow. For some strange reason I find it easier to see the typos like that. If you spot any errors, change them and when y...
In reviewing the thread I see a binary opposition emergent between a desire for sophisticated professionalization, and a faith in personality type/ cognitive style. This is to be expected inasmuch as Bill Fiora's prompt appeals directly to respons...
I have submitted my earlier post only to realize that it needed editing due to word omission or mistyping, which luckily does not alter the original meaning. I am not aware how to take advantage of the 15 minutes editing time that displayed.

Tom,
You hit the nerve of the keys to success in any enterprise or position or for that matter, life. "Social Intelligence" has been coined to encompass all those attitudes or behaviours that make the individual thrive in his micro or global socie...
I agree with your observation Chris and I have even started to wonder about the coherence of some of the comments here, not with the objective to discredit any particular member or deny them their universal right to express themselves, but just th...

Andrew Beurschgens said… - Bill, fantastic to see you here and great to be working together on the Amsterdam SCIP European Summit Commitee (that has to be reduced, a bit of a mouthful). Invited Josef Rodenberg to this forum to bring the whole committee online. Some of us are here already - Gabriel, Alessandro, Andreas and Eduardo. Brings another dimension to the planning conference calls, don't you think! Take care

Eliana Benjumeda said… - Thank you Bill for your answer. I still agree with you, but I also have found some clients that if they do not see some fancy or sophisticated techniques in our projects, they give less value to our work, thinking than anybody could do it.
Eliana.

- Hi Bill,
Please let me tell you that I have a quotation of your publication "The Seven Deadly Sins of CI" in the presentation that I give as "Introduction to CI for SMEs". ' ... some of the best analysis I have seen was done without using any of the most commonly taught analysis techniques. In most cases, all you need is a whiteboard, a marker, and a few good brains.' I agree about how important is to count on good common sense and creative thinking in most CI proyects.
Nice to meet you here.

Aptly worded Arik,

I don't have a profile in courage to share off the top of my head but I will suggest that the ability to put courage to work communicating skeptical insights depends highly on the self-esteem - or inversely proportioned narcissism - of your client...

This has been an interesting discussion. I have done some thinking about it and wonder if the differentiation between PI and CI methods is about the end result.
CI methods lead to analysis and deliverables that provide a company with actionable r...
Now, it seems that as if all CI practitioners were the "good ones", and PI practitioners "the evil ones". Then, (if we suppose that people in general have mostly good intentions and moral) why would "the World" (i.e. businesses or citizens) still ...
Yeah. We've already discussed it extensively ( http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/forum/topics/ci-in-economy-and-politics ). Therefore, let me add only the following argument.
