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. Comp...
A collective of professionals and passionate amateurs around the globe who analyze a world in transition and help guide leaders in their most critical decisions.
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.)
Titles or the concepts they embody are fluid, with some working better for a fe...
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 actuall...
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 m...

It makes me think of the 1990s Saturday Night Live skit "Coffee Talk" with Mike Meyers playing Linda Richmond. "I'm getting a little verklemp... talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic: Competitive Intelligence is neither competitive nor in...
I looked Jun - Dec 2009 and don't see a SCIP event with that title posted on SCIP's website. Catchy title though!
I haven't heard of it Seena, but I love the slant of the title! Very funny ;-)
I thought I saw this title for a SCIP chapter meeting. Does anyone have more info?

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.
Competitive Intelligence is a Tool for Acquisition ...

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. ;-)

Now if that exhibit hall could be broken down and transported around, now that could be a good idea....
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...
Thanks Andrew, let's hook up across borders in areas that can add value for our troops.
Cheers, Jens
You coming into the fold a bit more Arthur, subject to diary clashes? Please advise and thanks in advance
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
Too right Melanie, too right! Great to see that Bonnie had been allowed to travel for good behaviour, no doubt! :-) Thank you again...
