Awareness and Assessment of Strategic Intelligence: A Diagnostic Tool

Abstract

This chapter discuss the need for organizations to raise the level of awareness about strategic intelligence. It argues that improvement of awareness and scanning practices could be done by developing a diagnostic tool. The diagnostic tool is an expert system that makes the existing strategic intelligence practices and underlying processes more explicit and contributes to improved awareness of strategic intelligence practices. Furthermore, the author hopes that presenting a diagnostic tool will help increase the level of awareness and provide an assessment framework about strategic intelligence practices.
