I like the concept of "innovative new ways of knowing." While there is a wide range of possible intelligence actions, many are based on environmental scanning or targeted data gathering which is often responded to with defensive and reactive plannin…
Rethinking the standard / classic model of intelligence to develop innovative new ways of knowing.
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Systematic innovation expert working at Intel Corporation and through my own firm, Innomation, LLC. Executive Committee Member for the Altshuller Institute for TRIZ Studies.
The methods I use are based on a Russian process called The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). I have been studying and applying these processes to technical and business problems within Intel and for my clients including a hospital chain, a restaurant chain, and manufacturing firms to name a few. I see the real value of TRIZ to the CI community as its contribution to product advancements, patent circumvention (legal), and the ability to understand and apply the Trends of Engineering and the Trends of Business Evolution to an organization and speed the advancement of that organization towards its ideal natural evolutionary state. Further, I have used the Trends to predict how systems, processes, organizations and products will evolve and use that insight to develop systems that leap frog the competitor’s.
I hold a BS in Nuclear Engineering from Texas A&M University and a MBA in Finance from the University of New Mexico. Further, I hold a L3 certificate from the St Petersburg International TRIZ Association and will be applying for my L4 certificate within a few weeks. My wife Carole and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico with our three sons: Dante, Roan, and Shane.

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

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…
