Words of Wisdom
"I
can't imagine a time in history when competencies, skills and knowledge of
the men and women in competitive intelligence are more needed and more
relevant to a company being able to design a winning strategy and act on
it. I can't imagine a company not realizing the fundamental need for this
today." - John E. Pepper, Chairman of Proctor and Gamble
