Hello Vivek,<br />
<br />
Yes sure! I totally agree! I am not eliminating the analysis process at all.<br />
<br />
When I am talking about data, clues and other kind of information I am discussing the inputs of any CI function. In other words, these inputs are the “raw material” for the analysis process.<br />

<br />
I appreciate your observation about how important is analysis in CI. This point allows me introduce to introduce a second point which is the individual perspective. Gilad discussed the blindspots in one of his book and other authors described the same topic using biases, myopia or cognitive dissonance. This point is tremendously important during when selecting which information is important for the project/topic (in a focused process) or organization (either in a focused or not focused process).<br />
<br />
Information becomes relevant for the organization when it has been accepted from the observer. Acceptance include knowledge and analytical skills.<br />

I agree with you and Sheila,<br />
<br />
But Alessandro, the reason we exist is because we can join the dots and identify Strategic Inflection points.<br />
<br />
It is our Insight for which the organisation needs us. Otherwise in this brutal world do you think they will tolerate us.I do not think so.<br />
<br />
The organisations need us because they cannot subsitute us.<br />

Implicit knowledge gives us the cutting edge otherwise Artifical Intelligence will not even blink to subsitute us.<br />

<br />
Technology / Regulations / Competitors / Consumers are Drivers.<br />
<br />
Once we identify the drivers which interest us or we think are important then of course you are right.<br />

Hallo Sandra,<br />
<br />
Sorry für die verspätete Antwort, aber ich war und bin eigentlich zu beschäftigt und arbeite bis 1:00 AM täglich, da ich nicht nur meine Konsultingtätigkeit übe, aber auch die erste SCIP-Konferenz in Lateinamerika leite.<br />
<br />
Anbei sende ich die Präsentation.<br />
<br />
Beste Grüsse,<br />

You have to reply Adrian's comment in page 1. I think this is the only way that Adrian will see your post. However, I will mail him and ask if he can attach the document.<br />

Hi Alessandro<br />
<br />
This is what I intended to do within this forum, so he can see, what I refer to. If you have the same presentation, could you add it here? Or could you give me any idea, where else I should reply him?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi Allesandro,<br />
I refer to the discussion between us from last year, compare to the reply on page 1 of this discussion from Adrian "Reply by Adrian Alvarez on March 29, 2008 at 10:31pm". It would be great, if you could provide the presentation here.<br />

Hello Sheila,<br />
<br />
I agree that you need an analysis process for interpreting and evaluate which is the possible impact of new changes, anomalies, etc. However, I believe that a company is not able to detect this signs you are no able to put them in the analytical process. .<br />
<br />
As you mentioned, scenario is a very powerful tools, as for instance role playing or war gaming. All of them are able to pinpoint new fields/areas (maybe not detected before) and which can be analyzed from CI professionals.…

As you mentioned, scenario is a very powerful tools, as for instance role playing or war gaming.

This is what I consider tools and techniques that are applied to change the prospective in a focused early warning system.<br />

Hello Vivek,<br />
<br />
The points you are describing are all fine. I understand that any organization will have their own needs based on the strategic orientation and the perception of each executive and/or decision maker. As you mentioned could these needs can have different orientations as technology, regulations, competitors, consumer, etc. Priorities will be then set accordingly.<br />

Hello Vivek,<br />

As you mentioned could these needs can have different orientations as technology, regulations, competitors, consumer, etc. Priorities will be then set accordingly.<br />
<br />
However, all of these needs are encapsulated in a focused perspective. I mean that the needs are based on an explicit knowledge (knowing what the organization is looking for). (see also Nonaka and NONAKA about the four boxes knowledge).<br />
<br />
The problem/limitation arise when the organization doesn’t know where and what is the next changes that can get source of opportunity or threat. To overcome this limitation, I think that other techniques and tools must be included into a traditional Early Warning process which aims to detect new/unpredictable/strange/singular changes.<br />
