Competitive Intelligence Webinar
Getting In-Depth Competitive Intelligence on Private Companies
April 30, 1:00pm EDT.
Sponsored by: Special Libraries Association (SLA)
More often than not disruptive innovations are born behind the walls of
privately held companies. Given this how do you crack the code on these
companies strategies? Additionally, how do you obtain some degree of
early warning about how successful these companies might be in the
future?
During this talk you’ll learn about a wide range of
open source intelligence (OSINT) and human intelligence techniques
(HUMINT) that you can use to answer the above questions.
OSINT Assets – what can you learn from the web that’s meaningful and
what can be aggregated to produce greater insight
HUMINT Assets – who should you talk to and how do you get a hold of them effectively.
Benchmarking – how to acquire or interact with competitor products and services in a meaningful way
We’ll
also close with a discussion of the ethical considerations companies
face when conducting private company research as well as what is
typically in and out of bounds when conducting private company oriented
research efforts.
Finally all attendees will receive a copy of
one of Cascade Insights’ Framework Fight Club Handbooks. Each handbook
provides a wealth of competitive intelligence frameworks that you can
use to synthesize the intelligence you’ve collected.
Presented by Sean Campbell, Cascade Insights

Higher Education in the Ultra-Connected Age
April 25, 2013, 1:00pm EDT.
New
forms of scholarship, new educational pathways, and new
interconnections and dependencies characterize the digitally rich
landscape of higher education today. We are living and working in an age
in which connections are blends of unique relationships and new social
mores, crisscrossing an eclectic panorama of technology solutions and
smart devices. In today’s world, planning and delivering IT services for
residential and virtual campuses entails creative reexamination of all
our premises, from partnerships and collaborations, to business models
and processes, to services and service delivery.
This session will
define and explore the new, connected landscape we all must gingerly
yet strategically navigate. It also will examine how traditional higher
education, whether large research or small liberal arts, should be
adapting to the opportunities and challenges presented by the ubiquity
and pervasiveness of connectivity.

The Fiscal Cliff, Congress, and Libraries
January 17, 4:00pm EST.
Sponsored by: ALA Washington Office
Pundits and politicians from both parties agree that while the 112th Congress may have averted an immediate plunge over the fiscal cliff through its New Years package of tax extenders and sequestration delays, this debate is nowhere near over. That's where the 113th Congress comes in. With almost 100 new members of the House and Senate, there are a lot of new faces to meet, greet and persuade on the value of libraries.
Your voice is more important now than ever before. Only you can help stop immediate and dramatic cuts to LSTA, IMLS and other critical funding programs. Wait, federal funding isn't your main concern? How about averting changes to cybersecurity, copyright, broadband and elementary and secondary act policies that will negatively impact libraries around the country?
In short, everyone in the library community should join us for an update on the fiscal cliff / sequestration situation as well as the policy issues most likely to be considered in the coming year. Perhaps most important, we'll tell you how best to speak up -- and make a difference.
