Can technology do competitive intelligence for you?

Ne pas mettre la charrue avant les boeufs. Le software arrive après.

ib intelligence économique logiciel de veille Analyse

My advice for insurance companies, brokers and advisors is to wait until your function is well underway so that you build or purchase a tool that supports the process and infrastructure you've established to support your intelligence needs.
It is helpful to review and leverage software that is currently utilized within your firm. Examples of software that can be tapped into for intelligence purposes can include tools that manage the sales process, trip reports to distributors and/or insurers and CRM.

- The same, however, does not hold true for the analytical part of creating competitive intelligence. I can't overemphasize that when it comes to analyzing a competitive situation, technology options are limited. This may come as no surprise, since technology is not a substitute for sound thinking and common sense. As valuable as software can be to help manage information, it cannot:
  Automatically generate findings and conclusions
  Replace judgment and common sense
  Create actionable intelligence
  Think for you
- It's what you see and perceive in the field and in meetings with insurers, customers, and industry influencers that forms the basis of sound intelligence analysis. Remember that senior executive users rarely rely on technology to acquire their intelligence; they rely on people, their networks and confidants.

Conséquemment, en mon humble opinion, telles les Marques mettant de l’avant et proposant des contenus web “authentiques, originaux et créatifs” qui créent et leur font bénéficier d’un niveau élevé d’interactions et de loyauté de leurs consommateurs; de même, les créateurs de contenus web « authentiques, originaux et créatifs » créent et bénéficient d’un niveau élevé d’interactions et de loyauté de leurs lecteurs au contraire des pointeurs.
alors que dès que vous commencez à lire/suivre un véritable « créateur » de contenus web, vous développez un lien émotionnel, vous devenez accro au point où vous n’échangeriez pas lui/elle pour un autre, et leur mouture du jour font votre caféine quotidienne.

Rethinking messy BI

Le traitement sémantique de l'information en appui à l'informatique décisionnelle (BI) pour tester des hypothèses et explorer des scénarios

ib business intelligence WebSemantique intelligence économique

The reason for this state of affairs is not that BI and related systems are bad, but that they were designed for only a small part of the information needs businesses have today. The data structures in typical enterprise tools, such as those from IBM Cognos, Informatica, Oracle, SAP, and SAP BusinessObjects, are very good for what they do. But they weren't intended to meet an increasingly common need: to reuse the data in combination with other internal and external information.
the rise of the Internet and local intranets has made information available from so many sources that the exploration now possible is of a new order of richness and complexity.
18 more annotations...
- Call it the Google effect; people expect to be able to find rich stores of information to help test ideas, do what-if analyses, and get a sense of where their markets may be moving.
- There's no way traditional information systems can handle all the sources, many of which are structured differently or not structured at all.
- the emerging concept of Linked Data points to how CIOs can extend their information architecture to support the ever-shifting mass of information sources not tidily available in enterprise information systems.
- The Linked Data concept understands that this is not the case; it focuses instead on helping people to identify relevant information and to analyze it better. Humans excel at this kind of relevance processing, so why not take better advantage of their ability?
- Instead, CIOs need to create what PwC calls an information mediation layer that lets business staff explore what-if scenarios, assess strategies and risks, and gain insight from the messy reality of the world inside and outside a company's four walls.
- As outlined in the a previous paper, an information mediation layer orchestrates information from disparate sources for exploratory analysis rather than discovering an immutable "single source of truth" for archival and reporting purposes.
- The CIO needs to create the framework for exploration, one that helps the analysis fit meaningfully with the enterprise's existing information sources and their often unstated assumptions-without limiting that exploration or imposing a closed worldview on it. The goal of this framework and its associated tools is to allow mapping and filtering on the fly, so you don't have to conduct expensive, time-consuming normalisation activities for one-off or low-volume analyses-assuming those were even possible.
- Unlike corporate data warehouses and other standard information systems, the Linked Data concept accepts that information has different structures depending on the purpose and context in which it was created. Linked Data tries to bridge those differences using semantics (the meaning of the information in context) and ontologies (the relationships among information sources).
- Think of Linked Data as a type of database join that relies on contextual rules and pattern matching, not strict preset matches. As a user looks to mash up information from varied sources, Linked Data tools identify the semantics and ontologies to help the user fit the pieces together in the context of the exploration. The tools do not decide the connections, although the use of RDF and OWL tags can help automate the initial state for the user to review before applying human intelligence.
- We recommend that CIOs begin to rethink their information strategy with the Linked Data approach in mind. We do not recommend you embark on a big-bang initiative; that's unrealistic for an emerging technology whose best practices have yet to be learned. But we do recommend you test some of the principles of this approach as part of your larger information and data efforts. Here are some specific suggestions for ways to do this.
- The second path would be to empower your business users with exploration tools that they could use with existing internal data and with external data of their choosing. These tools would let them find the best business cases and make immediate use of the Linked Data technologies at a low cost to IT, since most of these tools are reasonably priced.
- Both approaches start from a common base: establishing a basic business ontology that expresses the relationships among the business's key processes and entities.
- The CIO must be prepared for the discovery that, despite their promise, the Linked Data technologies don't deliver as hoped. The exploration of this approach should - at a minimum - create a better understanding of the organisation's "messy BI" problem and how it can be lessened.
- "With properly linked data, people can piece together the puzzle themselves," notes Uche Ogbuji, a partner at Zepheira, which provides semantics-oriented analysis tools and training. In the past, he adds, assembling the puzzle pieces was viewed as an engineering challenge, leading to a resource-intensive effort to structure data for traditional analysis techniques.
- The CIO needs to loosen controls over the information and tools used in this exploration. You're not building a system but testing an approach.
- But the non-destructive nature of the Linked Data approach means you can expose that data more freely. In other words, users should be able to explore and transform data on the fly (since they're not changing the source data and its metadata-just the copy, at most-in their virtual explorations).

La révolution numérique considérée comme une quatrième révolution

Traduction du texte d'un texte du philosophe Luciano Floridi. Rapports réels-virtuels sont en train de se modifiera. L'infosphère absorbe progressivement les autres sphères. Cela implique de considérer et intégrer différement toutes formes d'existence, mêmes celles basés sur des artefacts issus de l'ingénierie.

ib philosophie internet

Trois révolutions
scientifiques ont eu un grand impact, à la fois selon les deux points de vue
extroverti et introverti. En changeant notre compréhension du monde extérieur,
elles ont également modifié notre conception interne de ce que nous sommes.
Depuis les années
cinquante, l'informatique et les TIC ont exercé une influence à la fois
extravertie et introvertie, modifiant fondamentalement non seulement nos
interactions avec le monde, mais également les conceptions essentielles sur ce
que nous sommes. Nous ne nous interprétons plus comme des entités autonomes,
mais plutôt comme des organismes informationnels interconnectés, ou des
inforgs, qui partageons avec les agents biologiques, artificiels, ou
hybrides, et avec les artefacts issus de l'ingénierie, un environnement global
qui est au final constitué d'information - l'infosphère.
11 more annotations...
- Les objets et les processus sont de plus en plus considérés
  comme "dé-physicalisés", dans le sens où ils ont tendance à être traités comme
  indépendants de leurs supports (considérez par exemple un fichier de musique).
  Ils sont "typifiés", catégorisés comme des types dans le sens où une instance
  d'un objet - ma copie d'un fichier de musique - est aussi valable que son type
  - le fichier de musique dont ma copie constitue une instance. Et ils sont
  supposés être parfaitement clonables par défaut, dans le sens où ma copie et
  votre original deviennent interchangeables. Et moins de contrainte sur la
  nature physique des objets et des processus signifie que le droit d'usage est
  perçu comme étant au moins aussi important que le droit de posséder.
- le critère d'existence - ce que cela signifie pour une chose d'exister - n'est
  plus effectivement immuable (les Grecs pensaient que seul ce qui ne change pas
  peut pleinement exister), ni potentiellement soumis à la perception (la
  philosophie moderne a insisté sur le fait qu'une chose devait être perceptible
  par les cinq sens pour exister), mais il est potentiellement soumis à
  l'interaction, même si celle-ci est impalpable. Être, c'est être sujet à
  interaction, même si l'interaction est seulement virtuelle.
- Au lieu d'être perçus comme des individus, des entités uniques
  et irremplaçables, nous devenons des produits de masse, des entités anonymes
  parmi d'autres entités anonymes, exposées à des milliards d'autres
  inforgs similaires également en ligne. Nous pratiquons donc
  l'auto-promotion et nous nous réapproprions nous-mêmes dans l'infosphère en
  utilisant les blogs, les albums Flickr, les pages web et les vidéos sur
  YouTube.
- Nous utilisons et
  exposons des informations sur nous-mêmes de façon à devenir moins anonymes du
  point de vue informationnel. Nous tenons donc à maintenir un niveau élevé de
  protection des renseignements personnels parce que nous souhaitons sauvegarder
  un capital précieux qui peut être ensuite publiquement investi par nous-mêmes
  afin de nous construire en tant qu'individus uniques, perceptibles comme tels
  par les autres.
- La vérité pourtant est que la révolution numérique constitue autant
  un changement de notre monde que la création de nouvelles réalités. Le seuil
  entre le ici (l'analogique, ce qui est basé sur le carbone, le
  off-line) et le là-bas (le numérique, ce qui basé sur le
  silicium, le on-line) s'estompe rapidement, mais ceci est autant à
  l'avantage du dernier terme que du premier. Le digital se répand sur
  l'analogique et fusionne avec lui. Cette informatisation croissante des
  artefacts, des identités et de l'ensemble des environnements sociaux et
  activités de la vie donne à penser que bientôt il sera difficile de comprendre
  ce qu'était la vie dans les temps pré-numériques, et que, dans un proche
  avenir, la distinction même entre on-line et off-line va
  disparaître.
- l'infosphère absorbe progressivement tout autre espace. Nous
  vivons "onlife" et vos Nike et votre iPod vont se parler d'ici
  peu.
- nous vivrons dans
  une infosphère que deviendra de plus en plus synchronisée (relativement au
  temps), délocalisée (relativement à l'espace) et corrélée (relativement aux
  interactions). Cela nous invite d'abord progressivement à comprendre le monde
  comme quelque chose de "a-live" (artificiellement vivant).
- La meilleure manière
  d'aborder les nouveaux défis éthiques posés par la révolution numérique
  consiste sans doute à le faire à partir d'une approche environnementale ; pas
  celle qui privilégierait le naturel ou l'intégrité, mais plutôt celle qui
  traite comme authentiques et véritables toutes les formes d'existence et de
  comportement, même celles qui sont basées sur des artefacts synthétiques et
  issus de l'ingénierie
- Une chose que les technophiles et les fondamentalistes verts doivent
  comprendre, c'est que l'échec d'une négociation de la relation féconde et
  symbiotique entre la technologie et la nature n'est pas une option.
- Le défi consiste à réconcilier nos
  deux rôles, comme organismes informationnels et agents au sein de la nature
  d'une part, et en tant que régisseurs de cette nature d'autre part. La bonne
  nouvelle c'est qu'il s'agit d'un défi que nous pouvons relever.
- La chose
  bizarre c'est que nous comprenons lentement que nous possédons une telle nature
  hybride. Le point crucial dans ce processus d'auto-compréhension est ce que
  j'ai défini ci-dessus comme la quatrième révolution.

"Les réseaux sociaux créent des relations en pointillé"

Interview de Dominique Cardon sur les réseaux sociaux.

ib Social software Dominique Cardon Etudes

Je ne crois pas vraiment à une concurrence entre les deux outils. Ils correspondent à deux régimes de communication différents. L'un, l'e-mail, est traditionnel, c'est la communication interpersonnelle privée, dont la croissance continue. L'autre, la communication à travers les réseaux sociaux, est nouveau, et connaît, pour certain publics et dans certains contextes, une très forte croissance.
La nouveauté qu'introduit la dynamique des réseaux sociaux, c'est l'apparition d'une communication privée en public, une sorte de parler à la cantonade. Les utilisateurs adressent des messages qui sont parfois explicitement destinés à telle ou telle personne, mais au lieu de leur envoyer un e-mail, ils rendent public un échange personnalisé. C'est une manière particulière de socialiser la communication personnelle en la montrant au réseau de contacts. On renoue ainsi avec des fonctions de communication de groupe que l'on pouvait connaître avec la liste de discussion ou le mail adressé à plusieurs personnes.
6 more annotations...
- On a ouvert les portes étanches de la communication personnelle à un public plus large.
- Il y a l'idée que ce fil d'information continue donne une conscience de l'environnement, "une ambiant awareness", qui crée une attention continue. Le téléphone mobile, qui permet de porter avec soi les informations du réseau, se glisse parfaitement dans cette perspective.
- Twitter, par exemple, peut servir d'outil à la petite conversation. Mais dès que le nombre de "suiveurs" (followers) augmente, on passe à une énonciation distanciée et sous contrôle et à une production d'informations d'intérêt très général.
- Pour l'instant, on a toujours séparé le canal privé et le canal public. On est désormais en train d'inventer une zone intermédiaire, un clair-obscur. Cela passe par une phase d'apprentissage. Au début, l'utilisateur met tout le monde dans son réseau, puis il va commencer à comprendre les effets de ses interventions. Il va donc souvent y avoir une reconstruction du réseau, plutôt orientée vers la famille, ou vers les collègues, et les messages vont s'adapter au public.
- C'est typique de Facebook de créer des liens faibles entre les personnes, de maintenir une forme de relation en pointillé. Cela désinhibe la capacité d'entrer en contact avec des personnes qui n'appartiennent pas au réseau des proches.
- Google Wave s'attaque à un autre partage entre communication synchrone et asynchrone. Les usages des réseaux sociaux se déploient tous dans une zone d'échange asynchrone ; Google Wave, entre autres choses, essaie de raccourcir et d'accélérer les échanges vers le quasi-synchrone.

But Wave is not a geek/hacker tool, or a social media tool, it’s a corporate tool that solves work problems (more on that later). On the other hand, they never claimed it would be a Facebook replacement or a Twitter killer. Google calls wave an “online tool for real-time communication and collaboration”. The way Google should have advertised Wave is: “it solves the problems with email”
Wave is not a social tool. It’s not Twitter, it’s not GTalk, it’s not Facebook. It was never designed to appeal to the crowds of geeks who are currently trying it out.

Wave is built for the corporate environment. It’s a tool for getting work done. And as far as those go, it’s an excellent tool, even at this very early stage.

The reserach found that older Americans - including both Seniors (also referred to as “Matures”) and the younger Baby Boomer cohort - have overwhelmingly made the internet an integral part of their everyday lives and often rival younger generations in online activities.
Online seniors regularly use email (94%), go to the internet to look up health and medical information (71%), read news (70%), and manage their finances and banking (59%). They also turn online for gaming: Approximately half (47%) of online Matures regularly play free online games.

- Boomers (ages 45-64) are heavy online users as well, with 93% using email and 71% shopping online, the study found. Other regular activities for online Boomers include reading news (73%), gathering information (67%) and paying bills (66%).
  
  Additionally, three in 10 (30%) regularly watch videos online, and 39% regularly go to networking websites, forums, message boards and chat rooms, according to CTAM.
- The study did find taht Matures often lag younger generations in terms of owning the newest technology. However, Boomers are tech-savvy and nearly as likely as younger generations to own a digital camera, DVD player and cell phone. And while younger generations are more likely to send and receive text messages - 92% of Millennials ages 18 -29 and 76% of Gen Xers ages 30-44 text - half of all Boomers (48%) and 18% of Matures also engage in this activity.
- “The technology adoption behaviors of the younger generations is studied frequently and their impact on advertising and marketing is widely known.” said CTAM President and CEO Char Beales. “But this study is unique in that it reveals opportunity among the Boomers and Matures, who have significant purchasing power, are active online and more comfortable with technology than often reported.”

The study found that as businesses invest more in these technologies, their return gets proportionally greater.
2 more annotations...
- While the study shows that companies investing in top-of-the-range telepresence and telephony systems get the most return, even organizations deploying just basic collaborative tools (like IM and web conferencing) reap a return on collaborative investment of over two times.
- The study revealed some other interesting findings:
  
  Collaboration technologies can help reduce stress. More than half of respondents say collaboration tools allow for greater balance between work and personal life and help them gain more control over their busy lives.
  Confidence in virtual meeting is growing. More than half think conferencing tools are a good alternative to visiting business contacts face-to-face.
  Telecommuting is becoming more popular. Almost half (47 percent) of respondents report having a formal telecommuting policy in place. However, less than a third (27 percent) telecommute at least once a week, and 22 percent telecommute on a daily basis. This tallies with the numbers in a Forrester study, which reported that one-third of workers telecommuted at least some of the time.
  The environment is top of mind. More than half (53 percent) say reducing an organization’s carbon footprint and other environmental concerns are important factors in determining collaborative technology requirements.

Change management.
14 more annotations...
- The more powerful and compelling view of competitive intelligence is one that is recognizably useful in strategy discussions. The usefulness metric is a function of potential improvements to strategy
- By definition, improvements imply change and change affects constituencies in the company. This involves people that are often found in prominent positions and have well developed opinions and biases.
- Therefore, the common challenge is to change the minds of powerful, well-placed people.
- So, what skills are needed to persuade others to change?
- Political awareness
- Marketing
- This is different from “presenting data” because stories are meant to convey more than information. Good stories are memorable, make an emotion connection for the listener and convey truth.
- Alliance management
- It is far more powerful to work with and through networks of people (inside and outside the company). The amplifying effect adds credibility.
- Change artistry
- III. The Customer’s Mindset
- Many competitive intelligence people stumble with these skills especially when they intentionally of inadvertently position themselves separately from their customers. Of course, a competitive intelligence person cannot unilaterally promote himself or herself to senior management.
- The value of getting an education in the customer’s area is that a competitive intelligence professional can better translate from their knowledge domain to the customer’s.
- The three tools go together. The table stakes are expected competencies. The change management skills have more meaning with effective analysis. Finally, the customer’s mindset shapes the application of table stakes skills and change management possibilities.

Competitive Intelligence and the Balanced Scorecard Methodology

ib intelligence économique balance scorecard management

Popularized in the early 1990s by Robert Kaplan and David Norton, the Balanced Scorecard methodology (BSC) is a system of interdependent, strategically derived goals, measures, and activities that summarize a corporation, its strategy and its actions.
If one of the goals of a company’s competitive intelligence function is to inject intelligence into the strategic plans of the organization, it is important to position competitive intelligence as a critical component of the company’s balanced scorecard initiative. Because the initial stage of the BSC model requires that the organization identify specific strategies, measures of success, goals and targets, and activities required to reach those targets, positioning CI as an important component of organizational success is important.

- Competitive intelligence frequently supports the development of strategy in an organization, but if management fails to realize that CI can help the organization achieve its strategic objectives, then the organization is only realizing half the potential value of competitive intelligence.
