Which common misunderstandings inhibit efficient CI interaction between internal and external providers?
Almost all corporate intelligence practitioners collaborate from time to time with outside third-parties to achieve their mission, but many buyers of intelligence services hold assumptions about external agencies and solution providers that inhibit efficient and productive transactions as the two partners work together toward common goals.
Dispelling the worst 10 of these common myths and misunderstandings creates a beneficial atmosphere of mutual understanding to yield more productive encounters and ongoing collaboration.
Is there a perception that external providers employ “sleight of hand” techniques to obtain privileged information? Must all those working on projects hold advanced degrees and subject matter expert status on project topics; or might a generalist provide equally important insights?
