Differences between Private Investigation and CI
Now, it seems that as if all CI practitioners were the "good ones", and PI practitioners "the evil ones". Then, (if we suppose that people in general have mostly good intentions and moral) why would…

Now, it gets interesting. :) I will try to summarize the discussion so far: basically, the difference between CI and PI is – and should be – that CI professional, unlike PIs, always follows all ethi…

Differences between Private Investigation and CI
Thank you Tadeusz for your answer. I understand that there are especially ethical boundaries between these two professions. CI professionals are emphasizing to any stakeholders their strict adherence…

Hi, recently I was wandering where are the limits (boundaries) between Private Investigation (detective) services and CI (or BI). I am sure there is lot of overlaps between PI and CI, but could you p…

This has been an interesting discussion. I have done some thinking about it and wonder if the differentiation between PI and CI methods is about the end result.
CI methods lead to analysis and deliverables that provide a company with actionable res…
Now, it seems that as if all CI practitioners were the "good ones", and PI practitioners "the evil ones". Then, (if we suppose that people in general have mostly good intentions and moral) why would "the World" (i.e. businesses or citizens) still us…
Yeah. We've already discussed it extensively ( http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/forum/topics/ci-in-economy-and-politics ). Therefore, let me add only the following argument.
Dear Pavol,
Ethics is the basis of conduct, which is perceived through individual morality and society’s norm of what is "good or bad", "right or wrong". :- Stealing is immoral
A code of conduct is a statement of ethical practices or guidelines to…
Between MORALITY and GREED lies AMBITION.
In the Race for Economic Supremacy of Nations, Ethics serve Country's interests to be globally competitive.
The world is Grey and not Black or White!
Country's Moral & Ethical code and Individual Moral &…
How dare you accuse CI Professionals of practicing hypocrisy! ;-)
I would like to add specific question I think is related to Pavol's. It is related to question of misrepresentation and specifically using "mistery shopping" (whether on our own or using specialised agencies) for benchmarking competitors' offers (or…

Yes, Pavol, but I'm afraid you've asked too provocative question. Most of us share here the stand which so clearly appears, for example, in dissertation already quoted by me ( http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/xn/detail/2036441:Comment:24363 )…
Tad Sir,
We as CI professionals are under the wrong misconception that our CLIENT ie the Global organisation / MNC is like our girlfriend ie hopelessly devoted to us.
Global organisations / MNCs have 4 types of External Advisors ie [boyfriends]:…
Another question: Do the words "pup" and "mole" ( http://fedcba.ning.com/xn/detail/2516803:Comment:7311 ) appear also in CI jargon? :-)
Competitive Intelligence cycle is used by:
1. Credit Reporting Companies
2. Private Investigators
3. Detectives
4. Market Reasearch
5. Risk Management.
If you confine CI to OSINT then the others use Semi-Active Intelligence and Active Intelligence…
Thank you Tadeusz for your answer. I understand that there are especially ethical boundaries between these two professions. CI professionals are emphasizing to any stakeholders their strict adherence to laws and CI code of ethics (esp. that of SCIP)…
Let me put a question to your question: Do CI Professionals rummage through underclothes like Detectives ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/peril-at-end-house )? I dare suppose CI Professionals don't. ;-)

- My Interest in Competitive Intelligence is:
- I search for local CI consultants/partners based in Central and Eastern European countries for cooperation on projects in their home countries.
I also seek CI consultants/practitioners around the globe who need or might need help with projects in CEE countries.
And, finally, I want to learn more about CI, and share experience with other people involved in the global CI community.

James,
Well, first I think referring to this as a "value analysis project" or surmising that the Value Analysis methodology is appropriate for this kind of question set isn't accurate. VA and it's counterpart, FAST, tend to be frameworks for NPD re…
I think we'll have a good 20 people tonight since Martha and her gang of 5 or so are also coming! remember the reservation is under "Ellen". I thought Intelligence Collaborative would be too long especially when they didn't even want to take my last…

Hmmm...good question. Colombo was always very good at getting his suspects to commit to little details, and then he'd come back and ask them a whopper. So I'd say he was using one of the influence techniques (commitment and consistency).
