ICI-04 Workshop: Advanced Web Intelligence (OSINT - Open Source Intelligence)
Finding competitive/market intelligence using advanced search techniques beyond Google
As a CI/MI professional, you need to know how to find the right pieces of information through online research.
During this workshop, you’ll learn the underlying fundamental OSINT (open source intelligence) principles and search techniques that are not simply based on standard Google searches. Get up-to-date with all the latest developments in online research, including using AI to search and report results, instead of relying on outdated and inefficient search practices.
Our complementary research workshop ICI-5 covers primary intelligence research (with a focus on human intelligence). The competences learned in both the ICI-4 and ICI-5 workshops are prerequisites for ICI’s advanced Certificate in Competitive Intelligence Research (CCIR).
Workshop Focus
- Four steps to effective web intelligence research: key intelligence topics (KITs), collection plan, research, and evaluation.
- Overview of the most important search tools, like search engines, AI tools, deep web, and online databases.
- How to implement expert search strategies combining different information sources.
- Using AI for competitive intelligence research
- Exploitation of social media to obtain valuable insights.
- Secondary research sources and their use for competitive intelligence, e.g. finding people, images, company information, patents, statistics, local Information, …and much more.
- Source validation, information reliability and detecting false information (such as disinformation and fake news).
- Hands-on research exercises for all source types.
