Woz Ahmed left a comment for Klaus Solberg Söilen"Dear Klaus
Michael Neugarten recommended your book '...Private and Public Intelligence' to me, and I received my copy this morning. On initial reading, it's excellent, distilling key topics in a very concise manner. Well done. I…"
Woz Ahmed replied to Jason J. Tong's discussion Interest in starting an online-only academic CI journal?"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…"
Woz Ahmed replied to Kieran Michael Brown's discussion SCIP / Frost & Sullivan?"Perhaps they don't know what to say, and would feel uncomfortable answering our questions with a stream of 'TBDs'"
Woz Ahmed replied to Kieran Michael Brown's discussion SCIP / Frost & Sullivan?"I have no hair (so am free this afternoon), but as a non-SCIP member, would look foolish rebelling outside locked doors."
Woz Ahmed replied to Kieran Michael Brown's discussion SCIP / Frost & Sullivan?"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…"
Woz Ahmed replied to Andreas Romppel's discussion Competitive Stupidity - Case Studies on the Art of Intelligence Failures"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."
Woz Ahmed replied to Kieran Michael Brown's discussion SCIP / Frost & Sullivan?"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…"
Woz Ahmed replied to Kieran Michael Brown's discussion SCIP / Frost & Sullivan?"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…"
Woz Ahmed replied to Andreas Romppel's discussion Competitive Stupidity - Case Studies on the Art of Intelligence Failures"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.…"
Woz Ahmed replied to Kieran Michael Brown's discussion SCIP / Frost & Sullivan?"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…"
Woz Ahmed replied to Kieran Michael Brown's discussion Taxonomy of CI / Mindmapping CI"Kieran
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"

Varsha Chitale posted a blog postWhy politics deserves greater mindshare of CI in India
Politics affects business in very real ways, and this is becoming increasingly apparent in India. In recent weeks, corporations have been screaming hoarse about the impact of poor governance on business. In India governance is related inextricably to politics...It is the job of competitive intelligence professionals to scrutinize all aspects of the business environment. If politics is a significant part of the environment, then that needs to feature in the analysis too. While CI has many tools…See More
