Competitive Intelligence and Risk Management

Dr. Benjamin Gilad, Co-Founder, and President of the Academy for Competitive Intelligence, and the author of Business War Games participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Competitive Intelligence and Risk Management. Competitive Intelligence and Risk Management The digital global age is re-writing the rules of competition. As the technology transformation gains momentum, entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) are undergoing rapid changes in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). When these rapid changes in CGS are intensifying “competition” for entities across NGIOA, it forces us to understand and evaluate what is fundamental to compete today and in the coming tomorrow. Developing a competitive edge has become a survival necessity for everyone. When the very structure of competition and performance is taking a center stage, it is important to understand that no one element remains more fundamental to competing in a digital global age than “competitive intelligence”. What does this mean? It means that irrespective of NGIOA, decision-makers today need to learn as much as possible, and as soon as possible, about the changing fundamentals of cyberspace, geospace, and space in general, about their competitors within and across NGIOA, and about any new idea and innovations that could be on its way to disrupting the very products, services, initiatives that they may have or are working on. It is important to evaluate this further- Competing in a Digital Global AgeApproach to intelligenceEstablishing a competitive intelligence programCompetitive intelligence and risk management Conclusion – Competitive Intelligence and Risk Management Amidst the changing global fundamentals of cyberspace, geospace, and space; gathering information, converting it into actionable intelligence, and then using it in decision making to compete is a much-needed practice for individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) today. While there is a growing understanding and acknowledgment of the importance of competitive intelligence, competitive intelligence practice is still in its infancy. It is important to understand that competitive intelligence activities are not only a safeguard to protect against security threats and changes, but also a method for finding new opportunities across CGS. Time is now to understand competitive intelligence!
