What’s Next for Competitive Intelligence? SCIP New Jersey Chapter Meeting, June 23

Alexandria, VA, June 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Competitive intelligence has come a long way from its beginnings. And it has changed – a lot. So, what’s next? John McGonagle, SCIP Fellow, explores how the following events and trends (and others as well) will change competitive intelligence – possibly into something brand new, and what that means for you:

• Increasing government involvement in information gathering and access due to the war on terror, in the US and around the world.
• Challenges to the way we think about intelligence, driven by the resurgent studies on governmental intelligence and the growth of academic programs on intelligence.
• The rise (and fall?) of outsourcing secondary research and similar activities.
• The decline of print media and rise in cyber media.
• The growth of social/business networking sites.
• The shift of CI from craft to tool.
