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...
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.)

Hi All,
I actually like Competitive Intelligence a lot. It is provocative, descriptive and makes people ask questions, rather than move onto the next guest at the cocktail party. I think the term can be morphed through subtitles for each person's...
Hi Seena,
Competitive Intelligence means Intelligence which is Competitive.
Competitive Intelligence is a "Tool" for Corporate Warfare.
Competitive Intelligence is a Tool for Risk Management.

I am not convinced that we need to rethink intelligence. Just as with many things, the basics provide more value than the latest thing. But they're not as exciting.
From the presentations at SCIP to the articles in CI magazine, there are far far ...
