Hi, MelanieW. Great question!. I spend a lot of time in PowerPoint and sometimes wonder why.
Across the market research and competitive intelligence teams at my company, we worked hard at communications in general. But specifically on the slide d...
My pet peeve at the moment about "intelligence" with respect to job descriptions and job searching is how often it is used with the adjective "business" to mean data mining or data warehousing. That seems to pop up a lot when you search on competi...
A global forum for women in CI to discuss particular issues they face in providing insights to intelligence users.
Hi. We put a note out on LinkedIn about an opening in our company. And got some inquiries then resumes back.
It might be a good idea and work for you, too.
For every level of expertise and/or position description.

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 have found that there are two general attitudes behind all the reasons why a company would not look at its competitors -- arrogance and ignorance. Arrogance: we're the market leader, and as long as we keep serving our customers well, there's no ...

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.

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.

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 his presentation too - great stuff!
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...
