This workshop provides a hands-on approach for establishing a world-class competitive intelligence
capability. In Phase 1, participants use a diagnostic tool to assess their level of CI capability in nine
areas central to world-class status. Phase 2 engages participants in a dialogue involving the activities
and skills necessary to achieve world-class status in each of the nine factors. Phase 3 utilizes the
outcomes of the previous phases as inputs into creating a pathway to enhancing and evolving
participants’ CI functions. The nine-factor framework was developed based on interactions with world
class CI functions and existing literature. The framework has been applied and enhanced through
interactions with CI functions in North America, Europe and Asia. Participants will be provided with
the diagnostic tool, prescriptive activities and skills required for success in each of the nine factors and
a pathway template.

This document discusses frameworks for understanding the hidden competitive intelligence needs of firms. It examines how both internal and external factors can compel a firm to establish a formal competitive intelligence process. Two common approaches for examining intelligence needs - direct questioning of decision-makers and studying a firm's strategy and objectives - are described. However, these may fail to detect needs early due to issues like managerial assumptions and blind spots. The document proposes examining contingency factors like a firm's environment, strategies, and manager traits to better determine when a competitive intelligence program is needed and what type is required.
Alessandro Comai (2004) Global code of Ethics and CIminiera
This document discusses ethical issues related to competitive intelligence and proposes a conceptual framework to help establish ethical boundaries for competitor information collection techniques. It identifies competitors as stakeholders and proposes four variables to evaluate techniques: culture, principles/morality, collection methods, and strategic purposes. Based on these variables, the framework provides a process to sequentially select ethically acceptable techniques based on an organization's strategic needs. It aims to define a global ethical standard for competitive intelligence practices.
Alessandro Comai (2007) Mission not Impossible - Competitive Intelligenceminiera
The six dimensions model provides a framework for developing an effective competitive intelligence mission statement. The six dimensions are:
1) Process - The degree of formalization of the CI function
2) Type - How the CI function is structured within the organization (centralized, decentralized, hybrid)
3) Scope - The organizational level(s) supported by CI (tactical, business unit, strategic)
4) Location - The department housing the CI function (marketing, technical, financial)
5) Time span - How far into the future CI information remains valuable (short, medium, long term)
6) Object - The topics or actors monitored by CI (competitors, customers, key trends)
Open source and free tools available trough the internet are becoming popular nowadays. More and more people are getting familiar about the benefit of these tools. There is a significant increase of open source tools that make information available to a large number of professionals.
Google, like other leading internet companies, is offering a very large number of free tools. However, how do information users act with Google tools? In other words…
Are Information users aware of all theses tools and sources?
How are these tools utilized by Information users?
Which are the most useful with respect to Information Users?
These 3 questions motivated us to develop a survey with the aim of understanding more about this topic.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION & FOUNDATION
Competitive Intelligence represents a “formalized, yet continuously evolving process by which the
management team assesses the evolution of its industry and the capabilities and behavior of its
current and potential competitors to assist in maintaining or developing a competitive advantage”
(Prescott and Gibbons, 1993).
The CI function can be divided into two main activities: (a) the operation, which includes working on
intelligence products and project involving the gathering, analyzing and dissemination of intelligence
based on intelligence requests from managers and (b) the administration, which focuses on the
activities, actions and resources needed to manage the operational activity. These two activities
interact; both are necessary for an effective world-class CI function.
Most of the literature has focused on various aspects of CI operations such as collection techniques
and analytical methods. Designing the administration structure of a CI function has been primarily
examined in an ad hoc manner.
The framework used in the workshop, based on a three years research project, reveals how to design a
CI administration to achieve a world-class standard.
REASONS TO PARTICIPATE
This workshop provides a hands-on approach for establishing a world-class competitive intelligence
capability. In Phase 1, participants use a diagnostic tool to assess their level of CI capability in nine
areas central to world-class status. Phase 2 engages participants in a dialogue involving the activities
and skills necessary to achieve world-class status in each of the nine factors. Phase 3 utilizes the
outcomes of the previous phases as inputs into creating a pathway to enhancing and evolving
participants’ CI functions. The nine-factor framework was developed based on interactions with world
class CI functions and existing literature. The framework has been applied and enhanced through
interactions with CI functions in North America, Europe and Asia. Participants will be provided with
the diagnostic tool, prescriptive activities and skills required for success in each of the nine factors and
a pathway template.

METHODOLOGY
This workshop will offer a hands-on approach for establishing a world-class CI capability. The
workshop has been designed to be highly interactive which comprises a mixture of short
presentations, small-group activity and plenary discussion.
Sharing imperative: participants are asked to be highly contributive during the entire workshop
session so that each company will be able to obtain new and fresh insight for their CI function.

Workshop Program
26/02/2007
1 - Introduction
(45min)
22:54:39
This part of the workshop will begin with an introduction to a World-Class
CI model, expressed in terms of outcome statements incorporating the key
choices that must be made in defining what CI capability is best suited to the
needs of an individual organization.
2 - Benchmarking In this part participants are asked to compare their companies’ current
positions against the World-Class CI model. A tool will be employed to compare
(1,5 h)
achievement against the world-class objective. Companies will therefore
identify the strengths and weaknesses of their CI function and select what
aspects need urgent improvement.
3 - Roadmapping
(1,5 h)
This part will take a longer-term perspective, addressing the issue of how to
bridge the gap between current position and medium-long term target.
Luncheon (1,5 h)
4 - Strategizing
(2,5 h)
This part of the workshop is designed to identify actions that can be taken
for achieving a better position against the World-class model. The companies
will examine the key 9 dimensions of the model and discuss how to achieve
a better position. Small groups of companies will work in several areas and
presentations will be done to the others companies as a way to share the
findings and their knowledge. Participants will discuss and compare the
difficulties they have encountered in implementing their CI function and the
ways they have overcome them.
5 - Action
Planning
(1,5 h)
This part of the workshop is designed to identify and prioritise the
developments needed, and to prepare provisional action plans.
