Mislav Jurisic Sharepoint as CI tool - comment

Recently we've seen two articles about sharepoint as a CI tool. As well there were some discussions on this issue during recent workshop run by Aurora WDC (Intelligence 2.0 Clinic ) at annual SCIP conference in Chicago.

Craig S. Fleisher The Next Gen, Business and CI

Lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking as well as presenting to a variety of community, interest and professional groups about workforce and career development issues. The research I'm doing in this sphere is both interesting and potentially important, not the least of which because we are in a recessionary context, but also because the workplace of future decades (2010+) is likely to have different characteristics than the ones I became so familiar with over the last 20-30 years. Think about… Continue

Craig S. Fleisher Can MBA students learn to effectively do competitive analysis?

I just finished my most recent MBA course teaching Business and Competitive Analysis to our newest crop of students here at the University of Windsor's Odette School of Business. I actually did this version of the course over two straight weeks, with only a weekend in between to allow people a chance to absorb the material. It was a fast and wild ride, but the students and I seem to have come through it okay. It was nice seeing them rise to the challenge, as I've always been known as a demanding… Continue

Craig S. Fleisher CI technology changes not only practice but post-secondary teaching as well

I've been finishing the development of two courses I'm about to be teaching and have been working overtime to try and integrate some of the better technological facets available into my teaching approach. I have long been pleased to see the CI practitioners I frequently research being early adopters of technology in support of their day-to-day activities. Some CI practitioners (and a few of you are on or reading about it on the Ning site -- you know who you are ;) have become leading proponents… Continue

Alessandro Comai Benchmarking with the World-Class Competitive Intelligence Model!

Do the managers that fund your competitive intelligence (CI) function ask how your company’s CI function stacks up against world class standards? Providing fact-based evidence of how your CI function compares to world-class standards has several benefits. First, you can evaluate your CI function across nine (9) dimensions that define world class standards. Second, you can isolate aspects within each dimension that can be targeted for improvement. Finally, you can develop an action plan to enhanc… Continue

Dan McHugh Machines of the future. Kill Sarah Conner or kill your job?

Some scary reading from NYU interactive telecommunications Professor, Clay Shirky, who was interviewed on io9 a couple of weeks ago on the subject of his new book, “Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations”. The premise (and I’ll preface that I am no scholar of social web evolution) is that there is a gro… Continue

Dan McHugh Josh Bernoff on "Should you talk about your competitors?"

Josh Bernoff, a VP at Analyst firm Forrester, recently covered the topic of “Should you talk about your competitors”? You can read his post here at Forrester’s Groundswell site. The comments covered range from the fully endorsing to the firmly against. Obviously, you never want to give your competitors a free run. This is even more the case when you’re in… Continue
