I remember over the years whether I was doing assignments for:<br />
<br />
1. Hill & Associates<br />
2. Armor Group<br />
<br />
Their clients were never really interested in OSINT.<br />
<br />
What anybody really was looking for, was surgical extraction of information and analysis to provide cutting edge intelligence to the client.

Hi Craig,<br />
As a vendor, I have noticed during the last year a emerging shift in CI users' interest who do see in analysis tools a new way to better value their position and to share their finding with upper management in a more appealing way.<br />
I am guessing the underlying reason for this shift is the renewed offer from CI vendors that now includes real time dashboards combining text analytics and visualization tools.<br />
We do also see a similar shift in the BI field as explained in recent Seth…

A very good question indeed Craig,<br />
<br />
Further we may like to Monitor to avoid a Hostile takeover, which technically again is analysis of:<br />
<br />
1. White Knights<br />
2. Black Knights<br />
3. Moat<br />
4. Killer Bees option<br />
5. Greenmailing<br />
6. Golden Parachute<br />
7. Grey Knights<br />
8. Suicide Pill option

Dear Craig,<br />
<br />
A very complex question but to simplifyI will like to add:<br />
<br />
Ideally depending on what the Objective is we do Analysis<br />
<br />
Is our Analysis required for:<br />
<br />
1. Corporate Strategy<br />
2. Business Strategy<br />
3. Functional Strategy etc...<br />
<br />
Common management tools can be used in Phase I:<br />
<br />
1. Value Chain Analysis<br />
2. SWOT Analysis<br />
3. Strategic Option Analysis<br />
4. Benchmarking<br />
5. Five Force Analysis<br />
6. Six Force Analysis of Andy Grove<br />

Dear Craig,<br />

A very complex question but to simplifyI will like to add:<br />
<br />

<br />
Is our Analysis required for:<br />
<br />
1. Corporate Strategy<br />
2. Business Strategy<br />
3. Functional Strategy etc...<br />
<br />
Common management tools can be used in Phase I:<br />
<br />
1. Value Chain Analysis<br />
2. SWOT Analysis<br />
3. Strategic Option Analysis<br />
4. Benchmarking<br />
5. Five Force Analysis<br />
6. Six Force Analysis of Andy Grove<br />
7. Country Analysis<br />
8. PEST Analysis<br />
<br />
<br />
Phase II:<br />
<br />
1. Collate each Analysis and try to see the larger picture which is emerging<br />
2. Draw Implications to your organisation<br />
3. Draw implication to your Industry<br />
4. Check out alignment to:<br />
<br />
A. Vision of the Company<br />
B. Mission of the Company<br />
C. Goals of the Company.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Phase III:<br />
<br />
Wargaming - Role Playing<br />
1. Have we identified Strategic Inflection Points yet?<br />
2. Possibilities<br />
<br />
Phase IV:<br />
<br />
Scenario Planning using Drivers<br />
1. Have we identified Strategic Inflection Points yet?<br />
2. Probability x Impact Analysis<br />
<br />
Phase V:<br />
<br />
Generate Actionable Intelligence ie Early Warning<br />
<br />
<br />
We put all of the above Phase I to Phase V in a mixer-blender ie our mind and use INSIGHT to generate Early Warning which gives us Competitive Advantage and helps us outflank and outmaneuver our competitors in the Corporate Warfare.<br />
<br />
Again we are back to square one: Key Intelligence Topics<br />
<br />
1. Assessment of Strategies<br />
2. Consumer Perceptions<br />
3. Identification of Competitor capabilities:<br />
A. Existing Competitors<br />
B. Parallel Competitors<br />
C. Latent Competitors<br />
<br />
To simplify what is the Strategic Objective we are trying to achieve using OODA Loop<br />
<br />
Very Complex Craig, a very good question. Cheers.<br />
<br />
Are we going for Offensive Strategies in the Corporate Battlefield<br />
Are we going for Defensive Strategies in the Corporate Battlefield<br />
Are we going for Flanking Strategies in the Corporate Battlefield<br />
Are we going in for Guerilla Strategies<br />
<br />
A organisation may use multi pronged maneuver ie Offensive / Defensive / Flanking / Guerilla with Multiple Strategic Options such as Low Cost / Broad Differentiation / Best Cost / Focussed Low Cost / Focussed Differentiation<br />
<br />
OODA LOOP is the Name of the Game
