		<description><![CDATA[Recently I met with a team of senior research scientists from a major US corporation.  Known for its innovativeness, its products are used by most of us.
 
I thanked them for their creativity, perseverance, and hard work.  Then I told them the bad news (which was actually why I’d been invited)…that other people had figured [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’re living amidst a paradox in our relationship to information.  A recent University of California study finds that the average American consumes information for nearly 12 hours daily, sucking down about 34 GB during that time.  Yet, we are continually surprised by stock market crashes, assets bubbles…and who knows what next.
We suffer from a quantity-relevance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why doesn’t early warning work?  While it’s a good idea in theory, in practice it seldom seems to have its intended effect.  In every major intelligence failure I’ve looked at, there were clear, credible early signals—and even explicit warnings—that tragically remained unheeded.  Why is this, and what can we do about it?
For example, in the [...]]]></description>

If you had been paying attention in March, you could have made 48.2% since then on your investment in the DJIA index.  If you did, congratulations—but don’t [...]]]></description>

		<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.

		<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>

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>
