- About Me:
- Procurement professional
- My Interest in Competitive Intelligence is:
- I'm committed to developing and applying best practice Business Intelligence (BI) and analysis methods in the strategic sourcing process. The CI / BI - disciplines have many relevant applications for Procurement, e.g. in the selection of financially and commercially viable suppliers and in the post-award monitoring of suppliers. For a more in-depth review of such applications, please read below my introductory blog post "Business Intelligence and a strong supply base".

Business Intelligence and a strong supply base
Procurement professionals are expected to select suppliers that provide best value-for-money for the company they work for. Implementing some solid Business Intelligence (BI) methods in the supplier selection process is one way of securing best value-for-money and reducing the risk of supplier failure. The realities of the ongoing financial crisis - with an increasing amount of supplier bankruptcies as one of its effects - drives home the point that Procurement departments should increase the

Hello Ari,
sorry but I cannot participate on the 23rd because I am on a business trip that day and won't make it back by the time the teleconf normally starts.

Hi Monica,
Yes, I've been following and getting involved in text analytics for a while now and have spoken at some conferences on it in the pharma area. We've been doing various analyses for pharma clients, both as CI and also as more general marke…
Hello,
In the teleconference on Crowdsourcing on the 25 June a suggestion was made that we would continue the lively discussion in another teleconference during July. Arik got back to me today and suggested either 16 July or 23 July for the next te…
Monica,
If a practitioner has experience of something that is unrelated to the field of his or her current employer, but which experience has been gained earlier on in his or her career (and which can be discussed without disclosing detail about a…
Ari,
No disrespect intended, but your comment here leads me to believe you have never been close to a Strategic CI function. There is no way that in house CI practitioners at least of the strategic sort, are ever going to be used via crowdsourcing…
Great Ari - thanks very much - I think a T&C policy analysis would be a big contribution to the topic!
Hello all,
... and thank you to all for participating into our discussion earlier today.
I would like to elaborate somewhat my comment as referenced above in Arik's summary. Two interesting concerns were raised during the discussion: (i.) concern…
Many thanks to everyone, panelists in particular, who joined us on the Intel Collab telecon this morning (25 June). Which upcoming Friday in July would you like to take the conversation up again? We're booked for July 2 to discuss an update to the C…
Brilliant Ari - I'm really looking forward to today's discussion - final promo going out in 15 minutes.
Talk to you soon,

Dear Ari,
I would like to change the last point as I was the one who asked that question.
I seem to have misunderstood an application of Crowdsourcing when I read the relevant book of Jeff Howe.
Could we discuss how to apply Crowdsourcing in CI so…
Hello all,
In anticipation for today's Teleconference on the "CI - implications of Crowdsourcing", and having discussed it with Arik, I would like to submit the following briefing to initiate the discussion.

Hi all,
I've (finally) gotten the June 25th Intel Collab teleconference scheduled into our GotoMeeting account and we're ready to take registrations. We're on for Friday 25 June at 10:30 eastern. Panelists include Ari, Monica, Ellen Seena and Annet…

Walter,
I can answer this one. Ok, first "big data" players usually means HP, Oracle, SAP, IBM. These firms are extraordinarily good at handling structured data (ie numbers) in relational databases, but they don't deal well with unstructured data,…
Oh, they are doing CI, lots of it, but they call it other things, like Data mining e.g. They solve many of the same problems but from an engineering perspective
Klaus
I've been turning this one over and can't find a satisfactory explanation.
Why don't we see more 'big data' players doing CI consulting. It seems to me that companies like Google, with absurdly comprehensive environmental data, doing more to move…
Hey Eric,
Very nice, I really like your critical dissection of the author's convoluted and ultimately flawed, thought process which you laid out very articulately. Precisely right, what exactly is the difference here? The issue of direct vs indirec…

Achieving competitive advantage through systematic competitor and market analysis
In times of increasing competition and complex, fast-moving competitive environments, it is important to be one step ahead of the competition. Businesses have to anti…
Bill, I'm having trouble imagining you being pilloried for posting jobs during a global recession. I hope we have lots of trouble of this sort coming!
So, to take this author's point:
Gathering, analyzing and disseminating information sponsored by a major media source financed directly by a combination of pharma, oil, and automotive companies: ethically honorable.
Gathering, analyzing and dissem…
