May 2011 - Chris West lectures on the History of Competitive Intelligence

In May 2011, Chris West, Founder of CIS, will give a series of lectures on the history and evolution of Competitive Intelligence: 'Every significant step forward in technology or industrial development has been followed by a period of intelligence collection designed to understand how it worked, how it could be copied and how any patents in force could be circumvented. Products and production processes have always been the main target but over time the objectives have expanded to include raw material sourcing and softer issues such as management techniques, worker organisation and remuneration.'

The lecture will take place on May, 6th. For a webcast please contact CIS.
