The Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP) and the Competitive Intelligence Foundation (CIF) are requesting your help to validate a set of competitive intelligence (CI) core competencies.  Core CI competencies are the skills competitive intelligence practitioners must have to perform their jobs in an effective and professional manner.   The survey is part of an effort to develop a body of knowledge for the CI profession. 

SCIP has invited all of its members and related CI Professions to participate in this study.

The results will be used to identify critical areas for future professional development, certification, research and other SCIP and CIF-related services.
