Primary Intelligence: Sources of Competitive Knowledge (SCIP Chapter Meeting)

This session focuses on primary intelligence and describes the model that many corporations follow when determining when and how to use primary intelligence to gain strategic and tactical knowledge about their competition.  Roger Phelps provides an overview of best practices, realistic expectations, and new emerging processes, based on his highly-ranked workshop at last month’s SCIP conference. 

 

Among the issues discussed will be:

 

• How to effectively map KITs to primary sources?
• How to identify and locate difficult primary sources?
• How to reconcile effective competitive intelligence via primary intelligence with SCIP’s and the company’s ethical and legal standards?
