IHEDN BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE – 30 November 2005

A one-day conference on “business intelligence” on Wednesday 30 November 2005, in Tours. The event came about following the Prime Minister´s request that IHEDN (the Institute of Higher Learning in National Defence) hold regional training sessions on this topic.
The event is jointly hosted by the Touraine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, IHEDN and ESCEM´s Economic Intelligence Workshop. It will be held in the Tours Ecole Supérieure de Commerce et de Management de Tours, from 9 AM to 6 PM. Starting at 6 PM, Mr Jean-Pierre Raffarin, former Prime Minister and Senator for the Vienne Department, will be present to summarise the information shared during the day. He will put particular emphasis on the competitiveness hubs which he initiated.

Lastly, once the event has been completed, partnership agreements will be signed between ATELIS (ESCEM), the Assembly of French Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ACFCI), IHEDN and STMicroelectronics.

The purpose of the conference is to raise awareness and educate about the issues at stake and methods used in business intelligence. It targets IHEDN audiences (Army, security services) as well as business players, whether institutional or corporate.

IIt has become urgent to alert companies to this topic and enable France to develop the means for entering this arena. The United States, Japan and the United Kingdom have already developed a very effective information security culture. With the creation of a € 200 million investment fund to support SME/SMIs operating in at-risk sectors, France and Europe have set the foundations for a true global security policy.

Agenda

The agenda for the day is designed around defensive and offensive aspects of business intelligence:

defensive aspects: current threats (issues at stake, realities of economic warfare, risk of corruption in companies)
offensive aspects: economic intelligence as a foresight-enabling factor and strategy tools

Lastly, the national competitiveness hubs policy initiated by Mr Jean-Pierre Raffarin requires the development of Territorial Intelligence to find new niche markets and attract new skills and talent. Collaborative tools for running the hubs will be presented prior to the round table summary delivered by Mr Raffarin.
