World-class CI Organizations: Academic Model vs. Reality. Monika Giese, Basel (Switzerland)
As a seasoned CI professional I have followed the development and debates on how to best organize CI within an exsisting organisation to maximise the utilization of internally available intelligence.
Academic models provided food-for-thought and stimulated many pilot projects and activities. In this presentation I would like to share my observations , successes and failures with the SCIA community.
I intend to disclose my short-list of ‘do’s and don’ts’ and hope for a lively discussion hearing about your experiences.

Where
Restaurant Au Premier (within Zurich Main Railway Station). See SCIA events flyer 2008. And online as a SCIP Webinar.
What
Welcome drink from 6:30 PM, followed by an introduction of the event and the speaker by the SCIA president Kurt Kobel. In case you can not participate in the session at the SCIA venue in Zurich and want to use the Webinar format instead you can find registration information at the SCIP events page.
Dr. Matteo will present a practitioner's view of benchmarking as a useful tool to reveal options, for improving productivity, through targeted analysis of relevant comparator companies. Two points will be illustrated through case studies, drawn from the R&D environment but generalized for broader business value.
1) When is benchmarking appropriate? Examples will include support of decisions involving strategy, organizational re-structuring and internal process design.
2) Selection of sources appropriate to the question is critical. Sources can range from publicly available information and interviews with industry analysts all the way to formal interviews with comparator companies, based upon pre-approved and legally vetted interview questions. How do you decide?
Note: this presentation is based upon an article that appeared in Competitive Intelligence Magazine: Vol. 8, Number 3 (May-June, 2005).
How
The event in Zurich is free of charge for SCIA members. Non-members are welcome to join at a fee of CHF 50. The Webinar, for remote participants, will be offered at regular SCIP Webinar conditions to the global audience.
