		<description><![CDATA[When asked to name his favorite kind of music, pioneering jazz musician Louis Armstrong is said to have replied, ”There are only two kinds of music, good and bad.  I like good music.”
You could say the same about information—there are fundamentally only two kinds, good and bad.
According to one definition (“Intelligence:  An Economic Good” by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Still more ideas from the SCIP annual conference in Chicago&#8230;
When I work with internal corporate practitioners of intelligence or research, one of my first recommendations is to run their operation as if it were a stand-alone business.  That is, with clients (managerial decision-makers), suppliers (databases, contractors, etc.), and possibly even rivals of their own-both internal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More ideas from the SCIP09 conference in Chicago&#8230;
I&#8217;ve worked a lot during my career with business-to-business publishing and information services clients—and consider myself in that business as well.  There are basically two business models for this kind of information—customized and syndicated.
Customized information is that which is developed—often at great effort and expense—and which is highly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ideas from the SCIP09 Conference in Chicago&#8230;
When I was in business school, my dean (William Donaldson—who earlier in his career had founded the brokerage firm Donaldson, Lufkin, and Jenrette) had several homespun sayings that would guide those of us who knew him.  One of these was &#8220;You have two ears and one mouth—you can&#8217;t use [...]]]></description>

This much is clear:  silly season is over.  Things like having not one, but two places on your block [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last post &#8220;Our radar has failed&#8221;, I offered the view that the current financial crisis is actually more than that—it&#8217;s a crisis in the ways we use information to make business decisions.  We&#8217;ve obviously come to another &#8220;Where do we go from here?&#8221; moment.
So, where DO we go from here?
I&#8217;ve identified four guiding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, our radar has failed.
The current financial meltdown is much more than a serious financial crisis. It&#8217;s even more than a crisis of confidence. It&#8217;s no less than a fundamental abuse of information and its pivotal role in our economy.
When our economy started in pre-historic times, we bartered for goods and services. Then money [...]]]></description>
