    <title>Nov 23, 2009: Advanced Partitioning with Arup Nanda at Oracle University Centre Munchen</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Sie wissen zwar, worum es bei der Partitionierung geht, nicht aber, wo Sie anfangen sollen. Oder Sie möchten sich vergewissern, dass Ihr Partitionierungsmodell Hand und Fuß hat. Dann sind Sie in diesem Seminar richtig. Hier erfahren Sie, wann die Partitionierung von Tabellen und Indizes angebracht ist, wie Sie anhand des Ziels - Bereinigen, Leistungssteigerung, Archivierung, Sicherung usw. - die geeignete Partitionierungsart auswählen, auf welche Probleme Sie dabei stoßen können und vieles mehr. Es geht also nicht um Syntax und Befehle, sondern um die Auswahl des optimalen Partitionierungsmodells. Dabei kommen auch die Besonderheiten von Oracle 11g zur Sprache.<br />

    <title>Sep 22, 2010: ICI-2 Competitive Intelligence Projects at Dolce-Conference-Hotel (at the spa gardens)</title>
    <description><![CDATA[For the real world application of CI fundamentals you will work on a complete CI case study<br /><br />
CI basics are taught in this workshop using a case study. The CI process steps are practiced and CI tools and techniques absorbed. With the training from this course, typical process mistakes are less likely, because participants gain practical aptitude in applying CI methods and techniques. Through team work, interpersonal work techniques are encouraged and communication experiences established.<br /><br />
In this workshop you will learn how to use CI in practice. Independent preparation on the case study and the familiarizing with the applied analysis techniques is necessary before the day of the workshop.<br /><br />
The case study approach is an established method, especially in well known and respected business schools. General questions should be clarified in advance, so that the day of the workshop can be used intensively.<br />
Workshop foci<br />
Definition of the CI requirements<br /><br />
    * The context of the decision<br />
    * Customer needs<br /><br />
Planning of the CI cycle<br /><br />
    * Determining KITs and KIQs - Key Intelli­gence Topics and Questions<br />
    * Defining Intelligence goals, definition of a sur­vey strategy, mapping of sources<br /><br />
Execution of the CI cycle<br /><br />
    * Data collection (raw information from different sources and in different formats is provided, but has to be processed and analyzed)<br />
    * Data processing (amongst others considering as an example a full text researchable data­base)<br />
    * Qualitative CI analyses (competitor profiles, timeline analysis, SWOT, 5 forces industrial structure analysis, value chain analysis, competitive strategy analysis)<br />
    * Reporting (presentation of the results to the attendees)<br /><br />
Development of a continuous competitive information system<br /><br />
    * CI-software and its use in support of the CI cycle<br /><br />
Articles<br /><br />

    <title>Oct  1, 2010: ICI-3 CI Reporting at Dolce-Conference-Hotel (at the spa gardens)</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Content, style, presentation<br />
Competitive Intelligence reporting includes compilation of reports that contain raw and analyzed data for the Intelligence user. Consequently, the form, content and medium of the report has to be adjusted based on the needs of these users. In this workshop, the essential reports or products of a CI department are defined, as well as their form and structure explained. The focus is on the content composition of the Intelligence reports.<br /><br />
Besides written reports, the importance and specifics of Intelligence presentations (briefing, fixed date) are looked at in detail.<br /><br />
An outlook on CI reporting systems and their reporting generators rounds off the workshop.<br />
With the help of case studies, the independent compilation of Intelligence reports for different user types is practiced.<br />
Workshop foci<br />
Demand analysis of the Intelligence recipient<br /><br />
    * Who needs what news and how should it be formatted?<br />
    * Content of Intelligence reports: structure and style elements<br />
    * Layout of reports: rules of design and soft­ware tools<br />
    * CI portals with dynamic reports<br /><br />
Development of CI reporting<br /><br />
    * Reporting pyramid<br />
    * Escalation procedures<br />
    * Prioritization<br />
    * Dissemination of reports (push versus pull)<br /><br />
Closer examination<br />
(examples)<br /><br />
    * Competitor profiles (strategic profiles)<br />
    * Situational analyses<br />
    * Research results<br />
    * Strategic analyses<br />

    <title>Sep 27, 2010: ICI-6 Fundamental CI Analysis Methods at Dolce-Conference-Hotel (at the spa gardens)</title>
    <description><![CDATA[SWOT, industry structure analysis, profiling, portfolio analysis and analysis of competing hypothesis (ACH)<br />
In this workshop, the fundamental methods of Competitivce Intelligence analysis are taught and practiced with examples. Command of these analysis techniques is a prerequisite for all subsequent &quot;higher-order&quot; analytical processes. To plan efficient CI projects, it is necessary to provide the data required for each analytical tool, and is only possible if one has acquired at least working knowledge of CI analysis techniques.<br />
Workshop foci<br />
SWOT (Strengths/Weaknesses/ Opportunities/Threats)<br /><br />
Determining one&#39;s own strengths and weak­nesses as well as the opportunities and threats from the competitive environment is by nature one of the principal tasks of CI. A great amount of competitive information is to be considered in this respect. One&#39;s own strategies can be derived from a SWOT analysis.<br />
5 forces industrial structure analysis/strategic groups, according to Michael Porter<br /><br />
The &quot;classic&quot; industrial structure analysis ac­cording to Michael Porter is the foundation for identi­fying the forces that act upon an industry and that influence its future development. The forces to be considered are: bargaining power of the suppli­ers, bargaining power of the buyers, rivalry among competitors, threats of new entrants and threats of substitutes. Competitors, with their activities, can then be classified with a resultant improved ability to anticipate future actions.<br />
Competitor profiling<br /><br />
Competitor profiles are the foundation for the evaluation of competitor potentials and inten­tions in the competitive arena.<br /><br />
Different options of demonstration (tables, data­bases, charts) are highlighted. Lastly, the result­ing analyses (e.g. reaction profiles, threat poten­tial, competitor strategies) are explained and practiced.<br />
Portfolio Analysis<br /><br />
Portfolio Analysis is a concept frequently used to visualize complex data. Usefulness and limits of several techniques are discussed based on examples.<br />
Analysis of competing hypothesis (ACH)<br /><br />
How to proceed, when at the end of your analysis several (competing) hypothesis emerge? The methodology of “analysis of competing hypothesis (ACH) is a structured, rational way for selecting winning decisions.<br />

    <title>Dec 12, 2009: Michaela von Aichberger - &quot;Notizbuchzeichnungen 2.0&quot; - Vernissage at Kulturbunker Mülheim</title>
    <description><![CDATA[12.12.2009 19.00h<br />
Michaela von Aichberger - &quot;Notizbuchzeichnungen 2.0&quot; - Vernissage<br />
Die Grafik-Designerin und Künstlerin Michaela von Aichberger ist Zeit Ihres Lebens Notizbuch-Fan. Sie malt und schreibt alles, was sie erlebt, in ihr Notizbuch. Reiseerinnerungen, Städteansichten, Portraits, Annekdoten. Seit sie im Internet die Plattform Twitter entdeckt hat, malt sie Menschen, die sie nie zuvor gesehen hat. Sie lässt sich durch Erzählungen, Tweets und Profilgestaltung inspirieren und heraus kommt Kunst in Zeiten des Web2.0! Schnell gezeichnete, kleine Psychogramme von Bloggern, Schriftstellern, Musikern, Schülern. Mit ihren Kunstwerken ist sie in der Twitter-Szene zu einer Berühmtheit geworden. Die Werke gehen nun auf große Wanderschaft quer durch Deutschland. Begleitet von Lesungen und Lifemusik, werden die dargestellten Personen vor Ort die Ähnlichkeit mit ihren Portraits unter Beweis stellen können! Weitere Infos und Termine unter:  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ich-male-meine-follower.de/img/twitterkunst.zip">http://www.ich-male-meine-follower.de/img/twitterkunst.zip</a><br />
Ausstellungsdauer: bis 02. Januar 2010<br />
Die Künstlerin bietet folgende Specials an:<br />
19.12.2009, 14.30h - Notizbuch-Zeichenwokshop &quot;Schnelle Kritzeleien&quot;<br />
20.12.2009, 14.30h - Notizbuch-Kinderbilder &quot;Wir malen eine Geschichte&quot; Maltag für Kinder ab 5 Jahren<br />
Zitat aus der Süddeutschen Zeitung vom 25.09.2009: &quot;140 Zeichen sind nicht viel. Wer seine Mitmenschen über den Kurznachrichten-Dienst Twitter an seinem Leben teilhaben lassen möchte, muss sich deshalb kurzfassen. Für Michaela von Aichberger reichen 140 Zeichen aus, um sich ein Bild von wildfremdem Menschen zu machen - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes: Die selbstständige Grafik-Designerin aus Erlangen malt Twitterer, die sie noch nie gesehen hat und mit denen sie noch nie gesprochen hat. Mit ihren Kunstwerken ist von Aichberger in der Twitter-Szene zu einer Berühmtheit geworden. Für ihr Geschäft lohnt es sich auch. Hunderte hat sie schon gezeichnet, und immer mehr Twitterer wollen auch dazugehören. Aus dem, was die Nutzer in SMS-Länge über ihren Beruf, ihre Hobbys oder ihre Erlebnisse preisgeben, komponiert die 42-Jährige in ihrem kleinen Notizbuch kleine bunte Psychogramme, die sie dann im Internet veröffentlicht. &quot;Die Ideen kommen von allein&quot;, sagt sie.&quot;<br />

    <title>Dec 16, 2009: Apache Hadoop Get Together Berlin at newthinking store</title>
    <description><![CDATA[I would like to announce the September-2009 Hadoop Get Together in newthinking store Berlin.<br /><br />
When: 16. December 2009 at 5:00pm<br /><br />
Where: newthinking store, Tucholskystr. 48, Berlin, Germany<br /><br />
As always there will be slots of 20min each for talks on your Hadoop topic. After each talk there will be a lot time to discuss. You can order drinks directly at the bar in the newthinking store. If you like, you can order pizza. We will go to Cafe Aufsturz after the event for some beer and something to eat.<br /><br />
Talks scheduled so far:<br /><br />
Richard Hutton (nugg.ad): &quot;Moving from five days to one hour.&quot; - This talk explains how we made data processing scalable at nugg.ad. The company&#39;s core business is online advertisement targeting. Our servers receive 10,000 requests per second resulting in data of 100GB per day.<br /><br />
As the classical data warehouse solution reached its limit, we moved to a framework built on top of Hadoop to make analytics speedy,data mining detailed and all of our lives easier. We will give an overview of our solution involving file system structures, scheduling, messaging and programming languages from the future.<br /><br />
Jörg Möllenkamp (Sun): &quot;Hadoop on Sun&quot;<br />
Abstract: Hadoop is a well known technology inside of Sun. This talk want to show some interesting use cases of Hadoop in conjunction with Sun technologies. The first show case wants to demonstrate how Hadoop can used to load massive multicore system with up to 256 threads in a single system to the max. The second use case shows how several mechanisms integrated in Solaris can ease the deployment and operation of Hadoop even in non-dedicated environments. The last usecase will show the combination of  the Sun Grid Engine and Hadoop. Talk may contain command-line  demonstrations ;).<br /><br />
Nikolaus Pohle (nurago): &quot;M/R for MR - Online Market Research powered by Apache Hadoop. Enable consultants to analyze online behavior for audience segmentation, advertising effects and usage patterns.&quot;<br /><br />
We would like to invite you, the visitor to also tell your Hadoop story, if you like, you can bring slides - there will be a beamer.<br /><br />
A big Thanks goes to the newthinking store for providing a room in the center of Berlin for us. Another big thanks goes to StudiVZ for sponsoring videos of the talks. Links to the videos will be posted here as well as on the StudiVZ blog.256<br />

    <title>Apr 20, 2010: ICI Conference 2010 at Dolce-Conference-Hotel (at the spa gardens)</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Sehr geehrte Competitive Intelligence Interessierte,<br />
Liebe Freunde und Alumni des ICI,<br /><br />
„Abwehr“ und „Angriff“ sind die beiden Arbeitsformen eines Competitive Intelligence Professionals. Bei der zweiten Jahreskonferenz des ICI werden wir uns auf diese  Themen konzentrieren. Unter der fachlichen Leitung von Prof. Dr. Litzcke und Prof. Dr. Wagner werden am ersten Konferenztag (20.4.2010) Wissenschaftler, Experten der Unternehmenssicherheit, der Wirtschaftspsychologie und der Nachrichtendienste die &quot;Schwachstelle Mensch&quot;  unter verschiedenen Aspekten der Abwehrmöglichkeit von Wirtschaftsspionage beleuchten. Diese Thematik wird in Deutschland häufig vernachlässigt, schließlich gilt es als unschicklich, über Schäden durch Wettbewerber oder gar staatliche Dienste zu sprechen.<br />
Am zweiten Konferenztag (21.4.2010) kommen Referenten zum Thema &quot;Competitive Intelligence zur Unternehmensstrategieentwicklung&quot; zu Wort. Gerade in Zeiten, die durch eine Wirtschaftskrise gekennzeichnet sind, kann Competitive Intelligence nachhaltige strategische Wettbewerbsvorteile generieren. Anhand von Fallstudien werden daher pragmatische Lösungsansätze zu offensiven Wettbewerbsstrategien gestützt auf Competitive Intelligence aufgezeigt.<br />
Ein Rahmenprogramm, bestehend aus Konferenzempfang und gemeinsamem Abendessen, bietet ausreichend Gelegenheit zum Networken und Vertiefen von Themen. Die Jugendstil-Stadt Bad Nauheim bietet mit ihrem Ambiente und der unmittelbar nach der Tagung beginnenden hessischen Landesgartenschau die richtige Kulisse zu dem führenden Competitive- Intelligence-Treffen in Deutschland.<br />
