Last January Eric Garland of Competitive Futures and I put on a joint event for the local chapters of the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals and World Futures Society. We pulled together a set of lead panelists, including some of the guys from Intellipedia, the US government intelligence community’s innovative collaboration platform. We abandoned some of the standard structures of a presentation to take the event in an almost unconference direction. The discussions revolved around application of Web 2.0 tools to facilitate collaboration for the production of intelligence. We called the event “New Ways of Knowing.” The session was a great success with a very interactive exchange and registrations at above room capacity (whoops!).
On January 28, 2009 we will be holding “New Ways of Knowing 2.0″ and highlighting application of Web 2.0 and social media to primary research, secondary research, analysis and communications of competitive intelligence. Keep your eyes on the SCIP Greater Washington Chapter blog for updates on the event as they become available.
Thanks August. Sounds interesting. Sorry I missed it. Do you know of any companies using the Intellipedia model wiki? I’d be interested in some of the details such as who posts and the types of postings, management perceptions of ‘value’, etc.
