Summary:
This is an article discussing a book about the convergence of knowledge management (KM), business intelligence (BI), and competitive intelligence (CI) into what the author defines as strategic intelligence. The text is divided into two sections: the first describes and defines these terms and the second part of the volume describes case studies written by recognized experts in the fields of KM, BI, and CI. The case studies include strategic scenarios at Motorola, AARP, Northrop Grumman, and other market leaders.
Article Quote:
“Strategic intelligence (SI) has mostly been used in military settings, but its worth goes well beyond that limited role. It has become invaluable for improving any organization’s strategic decision making process. The author of Strategic Intelligence: Business Intelligence, Competitive Intelligence, and Knowledge Management recognizes synergies among component pieces of strategic intelligence and demonstrates how executives can best use this internal and external information toward making better decisions.”

As described, this book sounds like a good source for information on key business terms and functions, with practical examples to follow. It appears that the advantage this book provides is the strategic scenarios of market leaders where one can learn by example.
One topic not described in the article is the use of performance technology and its benefits. WIthout strategic planning technology to assist in implementing goals, the result is wasted time, energy, and resources.
