SUMMARY:How Can I Embrace IT to Deliver Unique Intelligence?
DESCRIPTION:One of the most popular networking events to date has been
  the Forum’s ‘Speed Dating with the Software Vendors’.  Given t
 he growing sheer abundance of information out there, there is an assum
 ption that if IT can collect all the data for me, then I have the inte
 lligence.  This networking event focuses dispelling that myth by focu
 sing on how the promise of what IT promises can be harnessed to delive
 r actionable CI deliverables, what does it mean and ‘what now’ for
  your organisation.  We shall be joined by Dr. Sheila Wright, a forme
 r SCIP Board Member and former Reader in Competitive Intelligence & Ma
 rketing Strategy at De Montfort University who embraced a well-known C
 I tool to deliver active competitor profiles into decision making scen
 arios.\n \nKey take outs will enable you to:\n \n\nAppreciate the ro
 le of CI in producing precise competitor analysis\nUnderstand the role
  which competitor profiles have in streamlining intelligence\nArgue th
 e case for less, not more, intelligence\nDetermine whether this type o
 f technology based assistance could aid your CI practice\n\n \nAs eve
 r, there will be the opportunity for questions which Sheila will do he
 r best to answer, light refreshments and also the chance to engage wit
 h peers and practitioners alike.\n \nPresenter\n \nDr. Sheila Wright
