A CMS system like Joomla (www.joomla.org) appears to be quite reliable and is relatively low cost. PDFs could be downloaded, transferring print costs from the publication to the reader, and the journal could charge by subscription and/or article a...
Perhaps they don't know what to say, and would feel uncomfortable answering our questions with a stream of 'TBDs'
I have no hair (so am free this afternoon), but as a non-SCIP member, would look foolish rebelling outside locked doors.
Hi Michael,
I am not sure how this helps SCIP with its financial issues. Did the SCIP board check that what was agreed with F&S I was in the written agreement as something that will actually happen rather than wishy-washy-maybe?
Has anyone asked...
So you never heard about the genital shortage in Sweden? A real humanitarian tragedy. For chainsaws.
I note the warning did not advise against using one's head to stop the chaainsaw.
Thinking about it, if the amount of funding that F&S gives to SCIP to keep it going is relatively small (by F&S standards), then perhaps F&S hasn't thought this whole thing through either. This has happened in many M&A scenarios.
When I read abou...
I agree with Bryan. I am reminded of the story about the bird, cow and the cat. One of the morals of that story was that not everyone who digs you out of the smelly brown stuff is your friend.
Can anyone on the SCIP board explain why F&S are doin...
Here's a story from the high-tech space, during the dot com bubble era of 1999-2000.
The company was pre-IPO, and like many others at such a stage, was interested in acquiring companies for their revenue streams to help pump up the valuation. One...
While I don't fear for the future of and need for CI, I am not sure that having a market research/consulting organisation (albeit its not-for-profit institute/arm) acquire a professional society is in the best interests of either in the medium to ...

This is a great resource - keep up the work, you're onto something.
Not sure about the Chaka Khan remix though.
Try 'Theme De Yoyo' by the Art Ensemble of Chicago.
Thanks, Woz

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...
I've started a mind map for this. Hope this helps. Mind Map
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.
As CI professionals we focus on competitors - perhaps to too great an extent if we igno...
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.
Just a point of interest, Military Intelligence uses "strategy maps" and network diagrams to determine strengths, formations and who communicates with who (called Network diagrams).
These strategy maps really do help you see the big picture and p...
Dear Sheila, Arik and Mislav, thank you for your answers. They are very helpful.
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...
