Hi, it will be very interesting, but do you have it in french???
Hi Claudio,
I have an entire chapter (#12), What's In It For Me? which details 15 benefits of CI. It provides the language for quickly identifying and detailing the benefits to those who are unfamiliar with or don't understand CI.
Seena - I ordered it on Amazon. I'll do a review there and here once I get it. Have fun obsessing about your Amazon number getting smaller - I know it provided me hours of fantastic OCD entertainment.
If this book is half as witty and insightful as…
I'll buy soon your book, I'm very intested in determining the new several benefits of competitive intelligence process and function
Beaten to it, but have a copy and shall be drafting why I think other practitioners should be picking it up, thinking about what they are currently doing and doing something different. Namley actioning the content. Brilliant just brilliant. In the s…
Your words, Seena, "This book is [...] for [...] who think CI is something like [...] business intelligence, neither of which are true" haven't discouraged me from looking inside your book ( http://tinyurl.com/sharp-book ). ;-) But, joking apart, wo…
Hi Seena - great work - just got my copy a couple of days ago and, after a quick skim, I'm looking forward to digging in for a full review over during Christmas break!
Hear ye! Hear ye! I am proud to announce the publication of my new book, Competitive Intelligence Advantage: How to Minimize Risk, Avoid Surprises, and Grow Your Business in a Changing World (Wiley).
This book is an essential manual for the busines…
I'm delighted to finally hear the conversation moving away from competitors. The marketplace and customers are FAR more important than competitors in identifying opportunities, market changes, customer's concerns and complaints and new ideas. Compet…

Hi Alli,
The Sun Tzu quote you noted is frequently used at SCIP conferences. This quote applies to war, not business, because war is a zero sum game and business is not.
Sun Tzu had another quote that is more applicable to business and CI, which I…
Monika,
In my upcoming book on CI, I have a list of more than 20 titles used by CI people, as compiled by Jens Thieme (to indicate the enormous variation in titles.)
Titles or the concepts they embody are fluid, with some working better for a few…
Thanks Bonnie. I'll follow-up with Ben.
Found one reference to it:
"For law firms, CI involves gathering and analyzing external information to help make better decisions – and gain a competitive advantage. But while many firms are talking about competitive intelligence, very few actually…
Can't decide if I should play Mike Meyers or Linda Richmond.......
The silly season is upon both Competitive Intelligence ( http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/ ) and Multilingual Studies at a Distance ( http://fedcba.ning.com/ ), isn't it? But, joking apart, I'm afraid Christopher Caldwell's article Mixing mor…
Right on! That's where I've heard that before!

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…
