Profile

About Me:: Arik Johnson is chief executive of the intelligence think tank and research bureau Aurora WDC, which he founded in 1995. As managing director and chief architect of Aurora’s consulting business, Arik works with organizations of all kinds to develop their intelligence apparatus to monitor, detect and interpret change in their business environment.

Arik is a frequent and popular speaker worldwide on topics that intersect his interest in subjects such as understanding emergent phenomena, anticipatory cognition and decision making in business, science, government and culture. He writes about his ideas at his company’s website, www.AuroraWDC.com.

Arik joined the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals in 1998 and has since chaired SCIP’s annual international conference in 2006, served on SCIP’s board of directors from 2004 through 2006, and won SCIP’s Catalyst award in 2005. He currently chairs the development committee for SCIP’s non-profit Competitive Intelligence Foundation, which publishes books on CI subjects, the Journal of Competitive Intelligence and Management and is coordinating the CI Body of Knowledge project which is expected to lead to a certification credential administered and accredited by SCIP.

Arik earned degrees in History, Political Science and International Relations from the University of Wisconsin Madison and today lives in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin with his family: wife Kristina and kids Liam, Grace and Zoe. He is active in his Lutheran church and national synod and enjoys volunteering with youth entrepreneurship programs such as Junior Achievement and the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire Entrepreneur Program.
