INTELLICON EURO 2023

13-15 November 2023 | Prague, Czech Republic

I am pleased to announce that I have been invited by the Strategic Consortium of Intelligence Professionals (SCIP) to conduct a workshop at Intellicon Euro 2023. SCIP is a great professional organization to which I have belonged for many years. Focused on strategy and competitive intelligence (CI), SCIP advocates the transformative power of intelligence-driven strategy.

The Euro 2023 conference theme is “CI and the Future of the Intelligence Ecosystem.” The programming is about the “wider Intelligence Ecosystem and how different organizations utilize and apply Competitive, Market, Economic, Human and Open Intelligence within various markets and industries.”

As both a strategic foresight and competitive intelligence professional, of course I’m excited to participate. I am also excited to visit Prague!

Here is the synopsis of the workshop I am conducting:

Strategic Foresight and Modelling Change in the Competitive Landscape

Understanding the shape and dynamics of the competitive landscape is critical to the strategic value of the competitive intelligence function. Attention to the structure of the competitive space and the underlying drivers of change will help an organization anticipate threats and opportunities such as emerging competitors, new technologies, potential investment moves and consolidation. By applying strategic foresight methods such as weak signal scanning, scenario planning, wargaming and ecosystem modeling, CI professionals can generate actionable insights to inform competitive responses, product roadmaps, and potential pathways to growth. This 75-minute workshop session will illustrate these methods/concepts through an interactive exercise in which participants will develop future scenarios for a technology competitive landscape given a set of underlying industry drivers and weak signals.

If interested in attending, or just interested in info, visit the SCIP website for details.

I will post a readout and likely some of the tools from the workshop after the conference.
