Got it Vernon, thanks so much. I'll take a look at this as soon as I can and see what can be incorporated.

Kieran,<br />
<br />
Now that I'm back in my office, I have sent you a copy of the basic CI course content, together with the US version of the glossary. I hope they help.<br />

Thanks Woz!<br />
<br />
I did another iteration of it yesterday to include Babette's exceedingly excellent suggestions for analytic techniques.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have a paid version of mindmeister? I'd like to get it outputted as a mindjet file, but you need a paid mindmeister account for that.

That, of course, gets to the whole debate over the boundary (if any) between CI per se and competitive analysis where the entire competitive landscape is in play. I'm figuring out a way to add this and Babette's comments into the map, so thanks :)

Hi Vernon, I'm kieran DOT michael AT gmail DOT com, and I'd love to get a copy of that course. I can add some of the descriptions as notes attached to particular terms in the taxonomy, so people can click on the notes to see the definition or amplification.

Excellent suggestion, Babette. Any chance you'd care to expand a bit on this? I'd love to add these techniques to the map. One of the great things about mindmapping software is you can just collapse levels to cut down on the visual clutter - or expand single topics to create a very granular view.<br />

I have always had a great attachment to words, and to taxonomies in particular. I like your idea of a 'mind map' covering this topic. To that end I can provide you with a copy of an edited version of my complete three-day basic CI course, which may give you some ideas (simply provide me with an email address). I think Babette's classification of the Analysis branch is great and could usefully be incorporated. My glossary of terms, widely available at many Websites, may also suggest some content…

Hi Keiran<br />
<br />
Love visual displays - pictures really paint a thousand words. With your analysis side, as this is the area I have done a lot of work on with Craig Fleisher, I would like to suggest the following.<br />
<br />
As there are over 200 different types of analytical techniques that managers and analysts can use, we broke them into six groups to make the whole listing more manageable. These are:<br />
<br />
Competitive<br />
Enterprise<br />
Customer<br />
Environmental<br />
Evolutionary<br />
Financial<br />

Hi Keiran<br />

Enterprise<br />
Customer<br />
Environmental<br />

Financial<br />
<br />
Rather than listing specific techniques and the map gets too unweldy, you may want to break the analysis down into these suggested categories and then we can create another map using these six categories and break down the suggested techniques into each category. This should help manage the huge list of analytical techniques.<br />
<br />
Then under analysis on your chart, other issues can also be addressed such as assumptions, skills, recognition, etc.<br />
<br />
Babette Thanks for sharing, Kieran.…tag:competitiveintelligence.ning.com,2009-04-05:2036441:Comment:190642009-04-05T21:32:45.049ZAlan S. Michaelshttps://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/profile/AlanSMichaels
Thanks for sharing, Kieran.<br />
<br />
Would it help to add under SKILLS / Analysis: "Customer Analysis" ?<br />
<br />
"Customer Analysis" is a broad term which might need sub-topics like:<br />
. . Company Overview Analysis<br />
. . Lines-of-Business Analysis<br />
. . Management Profiles<br />
. . etc., etc.
