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.

3.

Apply the nine factor world-class CI framework to diagnostically assess your position
relative to world-class CI operations.
Explore prescriptive activities and skills required for success for each of the nine factors.
Design a pathway to enhance and evolve your CI function towards world class capability.

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.

  • 2. ... as soon as you get close to the target ... you will win the game! 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. 1. 2. 3. Apply the nine factor world-class CI framework to diagnostically assess your position relative to world-class CI operations. Explore prescriptive activities and skills required for success for each of the nine factors. Design a pathway to enhance and evolve your CI function towards world class capability. 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.

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.
