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.

Monika has recently resigned from her role as the Head of Global Competitive Intelligence at Novartis Pharma AG to pursue a career as a consultant and advisor, mainly supporting and coaching organisations to build effective internal CI organizations .
A scientist with an interdisciplinary background, Monika holds a BS degree from the University of Bochum , Germany in Neurophysiology, Immunology, and Biochemical Pharmacology.

In her presentation Monika provided exciting insights in her decades-long experience as a leading Competitive Intelligence executive in the pharmaceutical industry at Solvay, Roche and Novartis among others.
Sharing some best practice tips in terms of exposure within the own organization Monika introduced various models she recommended to develop and run Competitive Intelligence departments or functions within large corporate settings.
With friendly permission of Jan Herring of ACI and world renowned business school professor and Competitive Intelligence scholar John Prescott of Katz Graduate School of Business Swiss Competitive Intelligence Association (SCIA) members learned about their models to evaluate internal Competitive Intelligence capabilities, identify gaps and generate solutions for sustainable Competitive Intelligence operations.
