Joseph di Candeloro Intelligences' Future

Business is new to me, but epistemology and data-gathering are not. This site is fun for me because I get to see people who are brilliant in business try their luck at "ways of knowing" as Arik Johnson says, which in many cases may amount to little more than having the right connections to reduce unknowns within a given context (still a tall order most of the time, but nevertheless fairly simple). No one commented on my Panopticon post. Which is interesting. If you are reading this now, please t… Continue

Tom Hawes Competitive Intelligence: Check Your Sparkplugs (or 10 signs of impending failure)

I was eighteen years old, fiercely independent and ready to go to college. We were living in Wyoming at the time and the college was in Florida. The long road trip ahead of me was the first one that I had ever undertaken by myself. I would have to make all the preparations beforehand, all of the decisions along the way and, of course, I was responsible for how I performed in school.

Richard Competitive Intelligence from a Capture Manager's viewpoint

After leading a major capture for 4 years I think I picked up a few pointers on the value of Competitive Intelligence and Competitive Analysis. Obviously, the links between developing win themes, ghosting strategies and a PTW approach are the major areas, but later when working a major proposal, I found that having good CI/CA on hand is extremely important. There is a NORAD/NORTHCOM saying "The time to exchange business cards is not at the start of a crisis". Well I would say the time to look up… Continue

Joseph di Candeloro The Commercial Intelligence Panopticon

The CI community seems to have mixed feelings about its future given the fact that technology threatens to make access to "intelligence" an un-exclusive virtual free for all. I shall explore some possibilities here, and attempt to locate my own place with the winning team of the future in the bargain as well. Here is the issue: Technology and the "Intelligence 2.0" phenomenon are poised to present to industry a kind of Commercial Intelligence Panopticon (hereafter CIP). First of all--and this… Continue

Bonnie Hohhof CI news section now contains over 1,000 entries

On June 2, I entered in the 1000th entry of the “News” column on the main page of the SCIP.org website. This milestone presents an opportunity to review the purpose of this section – it brings discussions and comments covering all aspects of CI to the attention of as many individuals as possible. Also note that this section is open to everyone. As the publishing world is diminishing, and people receive their news and information from internet sources, most of the entries for this section will c… Continue

Eric Garland Competitive Intelligence, Government Acquisitions, and a Hallucinogenic Future

With the bankruptcy of General Motors, our economy has finally hopped over the plane’s wing into the Twilight Zone. Not that this event was surprising to anybody with a cursory interest in money or cars - GM bet its future on the world’s endless thirst for bloated Hummers and Yukons and left quality and disruptive innovation to Asian rivals, all while locked into being America’s largest private provider of healthcare and pensions. You can get six Jack Welches, ten Peter Druckers and those guys w… Continue

Ari Korpinen Intelligence in Procurement?

Procurement professionals are expected to select suppliers that provide best value-for-money for the company they work for. Implementing some solid business intelligence methods in the supplier selection process is one way of securing best value-for-money and reducing the risk of supplier failure. Does any of you members on this Forum have experience from using BI in Procurement? I'm not sure whether there are full-time Procurement professionals on this forum besides me, but maybe there are so… Continue
