Greater DC Chapter Meeting: Win Strategy Opposition ResearchJuly 28, 2009 Greater Washington DC Chapter Meeting Tuesday, July 28, 2009 – 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM Working in the rough-and-tumble world of politics, political professionals are very savvy and well-rounded intelligence gatherers. Accusations fly. Candidates make mistakes. Natural catastrophes happen. When your boss lives in the public spotlight, lightning quick research and response (with zero room for error) are part of the daily routine. No one wants their professional obituary written by the Washington Post. In the wake of the economic crisis and subsequent recession, government is taking a more active role in a number of industries. Recent rumblings from the Department of Justice suggest a more activist interpretation of its anti-trust role. CI professionals need to add the ability to read the weak signals and interpret the early warnings to advise executives on how this active government role in the private sector is going to impact their industry and their company. Come join the Greater DC Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals on July 28, 2009 for an interactive panel discussion with two of the best political minds in the business, John Feehery and Jim Barnett. We'll be talking political war room tactics and the lessons CI professionals can learn from them. Political Opposition Research 101.
