Ken hi
I have a small request - if the article doesn't directly link the CI discipline to ..... then why are you? It's you who raise the perception ... the associations you so wish to dispel are in your head.
It seems to me that this is one of t...
Here's a small challenge: for all those who seem to think that any process rooted in organizations can exist, flourish, and attract good people WITHOUT at least, having some related academic activity, I'd be curious to hear about such a sub-area. ...
An academic journal is only one part of the map. If we want CI to be taught academically (do we?) and to figure in the management, organizational psychology, international business and other types of (etc etc) discourse, as well as moving beyond a...
Competitive Intelligence: Competing, Consuming
and Collaborating in a Flat World
The European Competitive Intelligence Symposium (ECIS) is now in its third year, and is the premier scholarly venue for topics related to Competitive Intelligence. I...
I'm originally from the UK, with a background is in physics and optical engineering, and recently completed a management doctorate (at the Swiss University of St Gallen), on "Noticing noticing: the role of noticing in the praxis of Competitive Intelligence", which draws on many disciplines to help us understand better vision-related and other parallels between how we do and don't see, and how organizations do and don't notice their external environments.
I work at a large aerospace company in Israel, and teach CI at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, at Henley Business School in the UK, at the College of Management, in Israel, and elsewhere.

You need to be a member of Competitive Intelligence to add comments!
Indeed so, I am in Airport City, also originally from UK. I look forward to participating in many discussions as I begin this daunting process of initiating a CI unit here at Kenes International. I will no doubt be seeking any advice that professionals such as yourself would be able to give me. In fact one such question is how to I convince my superiors that membership of SCIP would be a good start?
Hello Michael. Would you be interested in participating in a webinar on a European time zone? The UK has secured the content through the great Tim Powell and a very recession centric issue, namely Bottom Line ROI. What conditions would make it appeal to a your local conditions in Israel? Welcome your response, Michael and enjoy the day.
Dear Michael
do you have any background material / url with regard to the HSG doctorate you're mentioning? I'm very interested to find out more about CI courses on a university level in Europe.
Kind regards from Switzerland

Nice to meet you in Lisbon last week! I was very pleased to listen to your presentation. I am wondering if you would participate in my forum. I think that your "view" of Intelligence will make a significant contribution.
Welcome!
Hopefully we can all meet up in Rome in the autumn for SCIP Europe. In the meantime, there is the CI meeting this Thursday and Friday in Lisbon, organized by Atelis and CEGE - I'll be presenting there, and the program looks very promising.
Regards
Michael
Thank you Tadeusz for your answer. I understand that there are especially ethical boundaries between these two professions. CI professionals are emphasizing to any stakeholders their strict adherence to laws and CI code of ethics (esp. that of SCI...
Let me put a question to your question: Do CI Professionals rummage through underclothes like Detectives ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/peril-at-end-house )? I dare suppose CI Professionals don't. ;-)
Have we all been here? Given today's competitive climate and a series of changes in management later, we have to go in there and either 'drink from the fire hose' or 'painfully tease' the need from those colleagues who have mandates to make decisi...
Great! I recognise some familiar faces in there. Congratulations to all involved, Jens and other hard working colleagues within the Swiss Competitive Intelligence Alliance, Kurt and friends. Something to aim for in the UK
