Interview with Arik Johnson on the future of competitive intelligence
by Eric Garland
It is more than enough work thinking about how the world is changing. Exceedingly few people think about how people think 
about the changing world. I’m proud to say I know some great folks who are on the cutting edge of understanding intelligence and decision making. Here, we’ve got a copy of the latest Competitive Intelligence Podcast, the brainchild of August Jackson. This time, he’s interviewing our friend and colleague Arik Johnson of the intelligence consulting firm Aurora WDC, on his view of the present and future of intelligence and its effect on leadership. The interview is broad ranging
- A new paradigm of intelligence: scarcity of analysis instead of scarcity of information
- The “perpetual beta” mindset, one of rapidly-changing technology and reduced barriers to entry
- The next decade of competitive intelligence: CI 2020
- CI’s evolving role as a mechanism and process to correct for cognitive bias
- The importance of a customer-centric model in delivering intelligence
It’s a great year to revisit our assumptions on how decisions are made. This is a great discussion to get you kicked off.
