SCIP European Conference 2008 / International Online Conference & Exhibition

Arthur Weiss, AWARE's managing partner led his acclaimed full-day workshop on Using Online Sources for Competitive Intelligence Research at the SCIP Annual Conference in San Diego, California in April 2008.

The SCIP workshop, a fully revised and updated version, included practical exercises, a review of new developments such as Web 2.0 sites and much more. Previous AWARE workshops and masterclasses on the same topic have received high praise for their unique approach to finding competitive intelligence on the Internet and have been given at workshops and conferences across the globe! The workshop aim is to teach attendees how to find CI rather than just present a list of sources that quickly date.

For more information on the workshop and how it can help you become a more effective Internet researcher ask us about our courses on finding CI information.


WS Radio Interview

Arthur Weiss was interviewed by Paul Helm, the president of Strategic Research Network, as part of the InfoPro show on WS Radio - The worldwide leader in Internet talk.

Listen to the whole interview or in separate parts (around 10-15 minutes each)

 

Quick Tip

Quick Tip: Frog in well

We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.(Attributed to Mao Zedung).

What is your perspective on your business environment? Are you missing opportunities because you only see your immediate industry or geographic location, when there could be new opportunities slightly further away or in related industries?

Read our review of this book

If you are interested in learning about competitive intelligence with a UK / European focus then this book is for you. Most books on CI are written by US authors and take a US perspective. They fail to note the significant differences between what is available in the US and Europe and the UK. For example, in the US the US Freedom of Information Act is key for finding a lot of information. Such legislation has only recently been enacted in the UK and the type of information available is more limited. In contrast, financial information is much easier to obtain in the UK than the US. Murphy's book redresses the balance and fills a gap in guiding the CI newcomer on how to gather CI in Europe.

One of the best sections is a detailed examination of the sources and types of financial CI information that can be obtained within the UK. In fact I think this is unique. Of all the CI books I've read - none give anything like the same depth on this crucial topic.
