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…

A Case Study focused on “Smart Grid” Development in China
‘The Battle for China’s Smart Grid’ was a public strategy game run on both sides of the Atlantic by Fuld & Company. It was fascinating to observe European and US perspectives on the Chinese…

Achieving competitive advantage through systematic competitor and market analysis
In times of increasing competition and complex, fast-moving competitive environments, it is important to be one step ahead of the competition. Businesses have to anti…
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…

It was a shame we couldn´t meet in the GIA Summit in Amsterdam. I hope we have a chance to do it in the next one or in SCIP Rome.
Thank you for adding me as your friend.
Eliana.
We do know of independent consultants in Korea and Japan but these people are a key part of our IP and we guard them closely. Sorry! You could try these small companies instead: www.comvalue.co.jp (Japan) and www.ibipartners.com (Korea). They can provide reasonable value work.
I can chase up Hans for you. What was it you wanted to ask him? We are representing GIA in China - maybe I can help.
If you send your contact details to more@fusionc.com we will keep you up to date on Fusion news. It's quite likely we could use your services for CI work in China also, if you are open to sub-contracting?
On a different note, I have been waiting for a good while (close t a year now!) to hear back from Hans Hedin at the GIA. What's your thinking on the organisation? I know you are the main partner in Asia-Pacific. Would be interested to get you thoughts. Do you organise events in the region with the GIA at all?
If there are CI things on in China, I am a very willing participant!
Good to find you on here. Are you based in Shanghai? I'd love to find time to meet and compare notes.
All the best,
Laura
