EXECUTIVE / SENIOR MANAGEMENT EDUCATION
The Fuld-Gilad-Herring Academy of Competitive Intelligence offers
a number of programs aimed at introducing top management to the
power of CI, and getting their buy-in for an organization-wide transformation
from internal to external focus. Some examples include:
NEW! Industry Risk Management. Executives
need a powerful method to identify, forecast and manage strategic
risks faced by their organization. These risks, called industry
or structural risks, emanate from changes to strategic industry
drivers. The art of identifying the drivers and effectively monitoring
them is the subject of Early Warning systems. Failing to manage
these risks can result in partial or complete disintegration of
the company's strategy. In recent years, top management at Citigroup,
GE Capital, Visa, Shell, Astra-Zeneca, Pergo and others, have been
using very sophisticated early warning programs to create a superior
risk management capability. This is not a financial tool, nor an
insurance policy. It is the most advanced use of intelligence in
the strategy formation process to position companies in a defensible
posture against a continually changing industry environment. For
more on the theory of industry risk management, refer to Ben Gilad's
article Industry Risk Management: CI's Next Step at www.academyci.com/ResourceCenter.

to the management of an organization under competitive pressure.

as well as proactive use of intelligence to identify competitors’
blinders.
Intelligence for Senior Management. Takes
senior management through a comprehensive tour of what intelligence
can do for their operations. Emphasis is threefold: 1) intelligence

as a discipline, to examine long-held beliefs about the industry,
customers, competitors’ capabilities and intentions and the
company’s “conventional wisdom.”

System. Uses the biblical story of Moses and his 12 scouts to
draw implications for the optimal CI organization today. Demonstrates
