It gives me great pleasure to announce that my new book, "Corporate Intelligence Awareness: Securing the Competitive Edge" (ISBN 1895186420, $43.95 hardcover) was launched on 1 November 2006 and is available from most online and traditional book retailers. Updated: 03 November 2006
The book provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide to the often forgotten, yet highly cost effective, role individuals play in gathering & safeguarding critical business intelligence. I have given special attention to the business advantage of linking people intelligence to planning, strategy development and knowledge management in ever changing business environments. The Intelligence-Project concepts in the book evolved over a 4–year period from Corporate Intelligence consulting in the IT, Industrial, Financial, Broadcast/Media & Government arenas.
In the run up to publication the book has attracted considerable attention, resulting in several television interviews that have interestingly focused on internal & external corporate espionage. Safeguarding what walks out the door is becoming an increasing corporate priority. My book emphasizes people awareness as a better alternative to zero tolerance type regulations and expensive technology. Please explore the website for more information.
Special thanks go to those clients who initially engaged our services in this field. My motivation to write the book stemmed from seeing the direct relevance of the material in the operational area. Thanks also to Kevin Aguanno of Multi-Media Publications (www.mmpubs.com) for seeing the potential of this material.
