Can you solve moral dilemmas encountered by you during the pursuit of Competitive Intelligence profession as exemplarily as Mr. Harrison solving that moral dilemma encountered by him during the pursuit of solicitor's profession ( http://fedcba.nin...
Hello, Graeme, are you sure that Competitive Intelligence professionals have never put themselves in such a moral dilemma as Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings cheating Jacob Radnor ( http://fedcba.ning.com/xn/detail/2516803:Comment:4821 )?

The only comment I would say is the general public at large will never have heard of Competitive Intelligence.
Those questions asked in Peril At End House ( http://fedcba.ning.com/xn/detail/2516803:Comment:4761 ) seem to be even more straight directed to Competitive Intelligence professionals, don't they? ;-)
I am not challenging "Holier Than Thou" syndrome here.
The issue is that "Intelligence" we generate has to be Competitive.
The yardstick should be that each one of us must be aware of the "Consequence of our Actions".
The tools we use in Collec...
Do you (as a particular group among the other professionals) feel better not being alone with your moral dilemmas ( http://fedcba.ning.com/xn/detail/2516803:Comment:4722 )? ;-)
My friend M. Alain Juilet, Senior Director in charge of Competitive Intelligence, French Govt very rightly said:
"Competitive Intelligence is Control and Protection of Strategic Information"......It is to the competitiveness of the economy and se...
Khalid bhai,

Even though today's companies are requiring increasing degree of the accuracy and sensitivity of information, the field of CI as a whole shouldn't become viewed as "outsourced spies."
Just as many CI practitioners are asked for "more", today we d...
To add to this stream of ethical discussion. I have been a CI consultant since 1993, and I really see little change in customer's demands for collection ever since I started my business. What's changed is how much more I can get on-line, and socia...
Yup, as you requested (with a little bit of accomodation to German orthography)... :-)

As terms of the Creative Commons license of my blog any translation of my material into German must incorporate the word "schaudenfreude" because it is my favorite word in any language. ;-)
August - just excellent. That's what I meant with being "higher positioned in the food chain towards decision making". I truly believe that ethics and effectivity promote each other in a much more profound and sustainable way than an "information-...
In a recent blog entry I touched on some of my thoughts that often drive some of these requests for certain kinds of information, including sources the acquisition of which are likely to come at the expense of established ethics and even laws rela...
Hi Nimalan,
I see the point. Maybe we all have to emphasize more that the "value" of an information always consists of two parts: the competitive advantage for the client AND his or her ability to use this information (without risking public imag...
Hi Andreas,
I do agree with you that we should abide by the SCIP code of ethics and I do stick to that. But then what I see happening now (and the point that Khalid raises) is that most of the clients are beginning to expect more "value" (for wan...

Thanks for sending me the link, Arik. Looks interesting, and I am glad to see you got Gabriel Andebjork with you. I am sure if Per Jenster had been at home in Shanghai right now he would have linked to come.
Take care,

Hi Arik,
Thanks for the update. I am interest to learn your perspective of the CI industry in China, as compared to the North America? And which industry is relatively more advanced in the CI development?
Thanks,
