Encouraging interest in the UK Competitive Intelligence Forum's forthcoming networking event at London's oldest pub, the George Inn on 16th September from 6pm, entitled 'A Case Study into the Influence of Cultures in Strategic Games - Smart Grids an…
A group for people based in the UK (& Ireland) with an interest in competitive & marketing intelligence.
Just to make people aware of the availability of the full debrief from the online research undertaken exploring how practitioners start out, how they sustain and evolve as well as measure and explore what's next. Entitled 'Intelligent Intelligence C…
I find nings allow for better drill downs into topics and allow for community discussions beyond the typical 140 Twitter characters. I started one for a group of DoD Industry professionals because we wanted to take our discussion out of the general…
Couldn't agree more! Like most of us, I think, I've become pretty platform-agnostic these days - it's not so much the system that runs your conversations, or even the context that accompanies that system as you describe, it's what happens there with…
I really liked the following summary of today's social networking sites:
Facebook is who you used to know, LinkedIn is who you know, Twitter is who would want to know
The nice thing about all these groups, both old school and digital, is that they…
Thank you very much Vivek - indeed, dissenting opinions are the very lifeblood of our work, wouldn't you say?! It's a large measure of what we do.

Keep up the good work Arik.
I appreciate that on this forum DISSENT is not taboo.
Cheers

- About Me:
- CI Consultant.
Managing Partner of AWARE
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.
- My Interest in Competitive Intelligence is:
- 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.

- Hi Arthur,
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.
Regards
Siddharth Bawa

- Hi Arthur,
I have always been a fan of the legendary King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
I did my schooling in a British Missionary school:
Sherwood College in Nainital, India.

Our Alumni :

I guess the credit goes to the British to what I am now ie my comprehension ability.

- 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

John McGonagle said… - 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.

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…

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…
