2018 Conference Theme:
 
Next Generation Intelligence

The rapid pace of change will continue into 2018, with a heightened sense of uncertainty, ambiguity, and complexity in industry and business landscapes.  Geopolitical; economic; digital consumer and technology disruption; industry consolidation ; broader competitor constellations and other such forces are creating an intelligence environment that demands closer monitoring; greater anticipatory and predictive skill;  faster analysis and speed to action; a higher standard of evidence; a greater degree of credibility; and an agile organization.

Intelligence professionals are challenged with developing tool kits for strategic planning in uncertain times, and with achieving a much tighter integration of intelligence into core strategic planning and decision making processes. They must develop the skills to impactfully communicate the intelligence and insight, and the confidence to take risk and stand their ground.  

CI organizations must determine an optimal structure and allocation of resources aligned to strategic initiatives while meeting the expectations of tactical day to day demands.  CI organizations are striving to innovate, automate and collaborate enterprise- wide on the collection of competitive and market intelligence in order to achieve greater efficiency and increase speed and effectiveness.  

 

For 2018, we’re inviting submissions for 4 different streams: A)  Strategic Analysis and Supporting Frameworks , B) Analytics: Decision Toolkits and Visualizations, C) CI Organization and Maturity Model Build and D) Executive Leadership and Professional Skills. Although you are welcome to submit your original ideas as well.

Thank you and we look forward to your submissions!
