Executive Insight Presentation<br />
Limited Seating<br />
Why are you not taking advantage of the potential primary source collectors working in your<br />
organization? As CI professionals we are constantly looking at ways to better analyze data and align<br />
ourselves with decision makers. In that pursuit, we typically overlook the need to develop our own<br />
internal collectors within our organizations. Internal collectors are an invaluable force multiplier to<br />
the CI professional and using the right approach can unlock this data goldmine. This presentation<br />
provides practical steps on how to develop a primary source collector program to fuel your<br />
competitive intelligence engine.<br />

Research has shown that many organizations recognize deficiencies in their competitive analysis<br />
practices. Numerous common prescriptions for stemming this analytical/intelligence deficit have<br />
been offered to address it, like acquiring better analysts and information systems or investing more<br />
in the analytical process. This session takes a different approach to the problem. It offers a recently<br />
developed model called "analytical fitness" that describes how elite intelligence analysts in business<br />
can be trained similarly to the way world-class athletes are developed to perform in top-tier global<br />
competition. Application of the model is intended to boost analysts' ability to generate better<br />
insights.<br />
Key Take-Aways:<br />
g Identification of a training and development-based means for improving competitive and<br />
strategic analysis<br />
g A solid understanding of the components and process steps to support achieving analytical fitness<br />
g Several demonstrated practices that improve analysts' capabilities to support their<br />
organization's intelligence efforts over time<br />

“The executives don't listen to me.”<br />
“I can't scale with current resources.”<br />
“Does anyone care about CI in my organization anyway?”<br />
Have you heard these statements before – more importantly, have you said them? Far too often we<br />
complain about our budgets being slashed, resources being taken away, and the overall dire nature of<br />
our CI functions especially with the current economic situation. While it is easy to fall into this line<br />
of thinking, this CI practitioner is all about taking those proverbial lemons and making lemonade!<br />
CI is a journey filled with plenty of “lemons.” This is one team’s story…<br />
Key Take-Aways:<br />
g Lessons learned from a real-life example<br />
g Methods to maintain momentum, positivity, and motivation<br />
g Insight into how maintaining a “never say die” attitude can elevate your visibility and influence<br />
