Cathy Heath said… - Hi Babette,
Yes, I am intending to get to Aussie at some stage next year for a holiday, but could easily work that around an Art of Analysis III or Wargaming course! There's also a potential big CI project on the boil tho, and I think it may be beneficial if I pop over and have a chat with you if it goes ahead too.
Yes, I'd love to join the Women in CI group, so have signed up.
Thanks,
Cathy

- Hi Babette - Good to hear from you - I do indeed work with Glen and will definitely join up - an Australasian network sounds like a great idea

Arik Johnson said… - Hi Babette - I would be thrilled if you were to start/host a CI Australia group here - just click this link:
http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/groups/group/new
That'll generate a new group with you as the founder and you can then go ahead and get things started there - sending invitations and posting forum messages. As for an image, I'm happy to help get that up and on there - as we did before, maybe me logging in as you would be best with an image of your choice? Just send me whatever you prefer to use (I'm partial to Sydney Harbour but that might make it the CI Sydney group eh?) and I'll make sure it gets up and online.

I give up. :-)
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.

Great idea, Andrew! What about SKYPE?
A collective of professionals and passionate amateurs around the globe who analyze a world in transition and help guide leaders in their most critical decisions.
Great Andrew - looking forward to seeing what results ;-)
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…
Competitive Intelligence Knights of the Round Table:
Always to flee treason
Not to attack one another
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..
