Synergies between competitive intelligence and foresight: Towards a joint research agenda
For several years, foresight and competitive intelligence (CI) professionals have worked together, learning from each other and adopting each other's approaches. For example, in 2024 an affiliation agreement was signed between a CI and a foresight association. This article examines this professional development and looks at the extent to which academia has done the same. A SCOPUS search for articles that included both "competitive intelligence" and "foresight" in the keywords yielded very little: only 10 articles were found, and only two had both foresight and CI team members. Research ideas and approaches are suggested that can help each field individually and also collectively that could fill this void and potentially provide guidance to practitioners.
