Nope, wasn't a great movie, yep, it dragged in spots, but you know what? I had a great time. It was just fun, and it kept me guessing, I'd call it worthy of light summer fare. Me, I wanted to cast the audience I watched this with with all of you g...
Dear Marcy,
it looks like our new tracking applications could work for you. Our company Qitera (www.qitera.com) has built a search and collaboration platform that lets people and teams capture, share and search critical information within the org...
Marcy,
I am writing a series on starting Competitive Intelligence on my blog. One of the steps is about accumulating the tools. It contains a list (not exhaustive) of tools that I think are important when starting. Of course there are many other ...
Marcy,
I liked that the tool was very fast. It can check hundreds of pages in a couple of minutes. It did everything that I wanted it to do. In some ways it was too powerful for me since it had so many options for tracking changes. (I haven't use...
The Shariah Competitive Intelligence Best Practice(SCI) though prohibits destructive and unethical Competitive Intelligence activities encompassing all aspects of Corporate Espionage.
One major principle espoused under the SCI is the universal pr...
Reminds me of a funny story.
Some years ago I was interviewed for a business magazine's cover story about CI. My picture was to appear on the magazine cover. After the photo shoot, I idly asked the magazine folk what title they would give the sto...

I'm going to play devils advocate here.
It's possible that this company has its feet firmly on the ground - and is actually thinking more than many of us do.
As CI professionals we focus on competitors - perhaps to too great an extent if we igno...
This is an excellent book by a friend of mine. He is an excellent presenter www.dan-terry.co.uk
I have learned so much from him in terms of engaging with the audience.
Just a point of interest, Military Intelligence uses "strategy maps" and network diagrams to determine strengths, formations and who communicates with who (called Network diagrams).
These strategy maps really do help you see the big picture and p...
Dear Sheila, Arik and Mislav, thank you for your answers. They are very helpful.
Sheila, count me in for support if you ever plan on doing a "CI meets strategy map" presentation.
I have looked for Mr. Carnevale-Maffe on this network, but he's not ...
Now that's pretty interesting - what does Sharia say about competition in general and CI practices specifically - even "ethical" ones which might not have the best interests of the counter-party at heart?
I remember there was one presentation relevant to this topic in my opinion on SCIP 06 in London. It was presented by Mr. Carlo Alberto Carnevale-Maffe, from Bocconi University. I remember this since it was one of the best presentations in my opini...
