Specialist areas: CI in the United Kingdom & Europe. Online CI.
I've been part of the online community since the mid-1980s and I've been working in CI since 1988. I first got interested in the WWW in 1993. My company launched it's own web-site in 1995, and a couple of years later I gave the world's first seminar / workshop on using the Internet for CI (at the International Online Conference 1997). Since then, I've kept up-to-date in online CI and regularly offer training & research on this, as well as all other aspects of CI - from collection to analysis to dissemination.
Everything - from what is ethical and what isn't to techniques to analysis....
Current interests are how social networking can be used in business and especially CI, and i've presented a case study on this at the International Online Information Conference 2008. I'm also constantly trying to improve my own knowledge and understanding of online competitive intelligence i.e. finding intelligence using the web and online technologies. This is an area i've developed and led workshops in - including what i believe was the world's first workshop on using the Internet for Competitive Intelligence.

I'm also currently researching on the evolving role of social networking sites in Business Intelligence, Market intelligence and Competitive intelligence and how sematic web capabilities could further add a spearhead to it. Since you've presented a case study on the same, it would be great if you could share some of your novel insights which would be of great value for me. Looking forward to your response.
Hello Arthur, thank you for your comments and contribuition to the SCIP/F&S Institute Development...I remember that evening in the Hilton Hotel bar where you I and Arik were sat in November 2006 discussing how to get the Uk back on its feet. I believe that there is still more to do and thank you for your past contributions and future energies, Arthur, thank you
I think there might be a tenuous connection between Noel Edmonds and gnomic matters - best have a photo soon, lest people dont think you really exist! Good to see you here, Julia
I am in the same position. I have been asked to run for the BOD several times. Ignoring the fact that if I do not work, I do ot bil, and if I do not bill, I do not eat (which makes BOD very costly), I do not play well with others. While have strong opinions, I can be convinced to change my mind, but by facts, not by calls to loyalty or teamwork. Maybe we should look at making the Board a true governing board, not a collection of people all doing additional work for SCIP asd well as governing.
All,
Thanks for your comments. They stimulated me to think about when I respond affirmatively to implicit or explicit requests for help. Here are my "10 rules" for helping. As I wrote them, I realized that they generally apply whether the subject i…
Shiela,
I never endorsed unethical practices.
I did NOT advocate unethical practices.
What I did was defend a Nation whose comitted people in an agency, post Sept 11, go out of their way to defend Democracy.
I did NOT advocate any clandestine op…

There are some who can't detect my sarcasm over the Internet, which is fine. For the record, I'm not a fan of any "intelligence" programs that have a now documented, practically-official policy of war crimes. That's not intelligence. For a review of…
Fantastic - that's the point of this umbrella concept, to connect more people in more places with a variety of events in the concept of intelligence. I can't wait to see what you've come up with.
Thinking of placing the outcome from our UK panel event on 9/3 into this group and on Ning to get people to add their comments after the event and add to the anticipated rich tapestry of comment being generated given the calibre of audience, panel c…
I shall explore how others could aprticipate by bringing that age old media, namely conference call, or more one dimensional, we place the outcomes on Ning and get others to comment as they see fit with the PowerPoint used and everything? What do pe…
Vivek, I think yoou have just reinforced the point I was making and have done it much better than I. If you think that Mossad/CIA/MI6/KGB etc has any legitimate connection with CI in the commercial context of doing day to day business then I really…
A forum for those interested in issues around practicing, doing and teaching CI in this region. Get people from the region together on-line, communicate issues, promote CI in the region.
Funny enough I asked a couple of questions which I sent directly to about 25 people in CI. It was a couple of very simple questions for some research for a piece I was doing.
I got two replies
Therefore, what do you think about the following?
Competitive Intelligence Code of the U.S. Fighting Force:
6 Code of Conduct V. a. When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of b…
Anyways Sheila,
I know Eric was fooling around.
See Competitive Intelligence in the Macro perspective.
But what is there to be ashamed about CIA/RAW/KGB/MI6/BND etc.,
In Competitive Intelligence, BND is legendary for its Project RAHAB..
PPP Mod…
