I like the concept of "innovative new ways of knowing." While there is a wide range of possible intelligence actions, many are based on environmental scanning or targeted data gathering which is often responded to with defensive and reactive plannin…
Rethinking the standard / classic model of intelligence to develop innovative new ways of knowing.
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Systematic innovation expert working at Intel Corporation and through my own firm, Innomation, LLC. Executive Committee Member for the Altshuller Institute for TRIZ Studies.
The methods I use are based on a Russian process called The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). I have been studying and applying these processes to technical and business problems within Intel and for my clients including a hospital chain, a restaurant chain, and manufacturing firms to name a few. I see the real value of TRIZ to the CI community as its contribution to product advancements, patent circumvention (legal), and the ability to understand and apply the Trends of Engineering and the Trends of Business Evolution to an organization and speed the advancement of that organization towards its ideal natural evolutionary state. Further, I have used the Trends to predict how systems, processes, organizations and products will evolve and use that insight to develop systems that leap frog the competitor’s.
I hold a BS in Nuclear Engineering from Texas A&M University and a MBA in Finance from the University of New Mexico. Further, I hold a L3 certificate from the St Petersburg International TRIZ Association and will be applying for my L4 certificate within a few weeks. My wife Carole and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico with our three sons: Dante, Roan, and Shane.

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…
