I don't believe you, Andrew. ;-) You surely know at least the word "amore". :-) Incidentally, what do CI professionals think about the sentence "In un mondo che sa tutto" [Dalida Ciao Amore Ciao (live) (en direct) (Italian version with lyrics) ( htt…
Milena Motta has worked in supporting companies in innovation and competitive intelligence since 1982.
Milena has led her global CI consultancy company Strategie&Innovazione (based in Milan, Italy) since 1985, when she started her own business based on her market research background. Today, Milena and her team at S&I work as CI and strategic marketing consultants for Italian and foreign companies.
For more than 20 years Milena has been teaching the use of patents as a key to competitive advantage and helped companies to turn this technical information into knowledge about technology trends and competitors’ acitivity, and to find a proper solution or partner for enhancing the company’s innovation activity.
She had recently been granted the SCIP Fellow Award (Chicago, 2009) and was a SCIP Catalyst Award Winner in 1998.
Milena chaired chaired the 2008 SCIP European Conference held in Rome in October 2008, the 2004 European SCIP Conference in Milan and has been involved in many SCIP conference programme committees.
She founded SCIP Italia in March 1996, and she's still the Coordinator, promoting and managing the international association’s local activities.
Ciao Milena, hai capito bene, abito in California das parecchi anni, il Premio che stiamo organizzando che vedi nella mia pagina si svolgera' a Milano il 18 giugno ma io purtrtoppo non saro' presente. Chissa', magari l'anno prossimo.
Se nel frattempo tu vieni in California fammi sapere, mi piacerebbe incontrarti!
I hear you and Ellen and some others took a great boat tour and ate at an Armenian restaurant - sorry I missed it, I had to return because my brother was renewing his vows after 30 years of marriage and there was a large reunion party afterward of my family. I would love to get to Amsterdam, but it depends on what kind of year we have here. So far, so good, so I'll keep my fingers crossed ... Best, Claudia
Ciào Milena: Congrats again on receiving the SCIP Fellows Award in Chicago! It was so nice to be there with you in shared celebration when you received it. I wish for you every continuing success and will look forward to many interactions with you in the years ahead as you continue to do wonderful things for the CI community in Europe and beyond. Kindest regards, Craig
Milena, brilliant to see you here. Likewise, I look forward to meeting up in Rome, 20-22nd October for the 13th European SCIP Summit. Given the content and its structure from Bad Nauheim, it looks to be an exciting event indeed.

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…
