Insight. Foresight. Clarity.
Knowledge inForm helps professionals and organizations enhance their intelligence and foresight capabilities, decision-making, and competitiveness. We help managers and companies develop their competitive and decision intelligence, critical foresight, and strategic capabilities by improving ethical intelligence practices, intelligence knowledge management, and developing robust and effective intelligence programs and teams.
We understand that the most important aspect of generating sound intelligence, developing situational awareness, and exercising foresight is people. From researchers who gather information to analysts who generate intelligence to managers who rely on intelligence for planning and decision-making, each role is vital to sound intelligence. Helping people perform their best in these roles is what we do.
We also understand that generating intelligence and exercising foresight are dynamic and that staying on top of novel developments and innovations in intelligence, knowledge management, technology, and business & industry practices is vital towards generating robust and sound intelligence. We help our clients stay ahead and get the most out of their efforts. We draw on current research, early warning, and understanding in critical fields like intelligence psychology, technology, and areas that are often overlooked. We guide our clients in understand what new developments mean for them, and how and when to utilize new tools and techniques. We practice what we teach.
