A Forensic Investigation, it is probably safe to say, refers to the reading/consideration of all available clues to determine the origins (what or why or by whom) of any known/past fact, deed or event.

A Corporate Intelligence Initiative refers to the reading of all available clues to determine what might happen in the future.

This simple comparison proved useful recently while working with a large corporate client in overcoming group resistance to work with unproven scenarios. Illustrating that the expertise required for disaggregating a problem was exactly the same as that required to work forward to a desired goal, facilitated the deployment of an innovative strategy to navigate uncharted territory.

Working with the unknown or unproven, in our opinion, is the greatest challenge facing the corporate mind set in securing a true competitive edge. Dynamic Leadership has the courage to explore and factor in what might happen in the future. Risk Management is just that… managing, not avoidance, of mights & maybes!

 “Expression is all we want… not knowledge, but vent: We know enough; but have not leaves and lungs for a healthy perspiration and growth” – Ralph Waldo Emerson (Selected Journals 1841-1877)

“Everyone in creative work is subject to persecution by odious comparison. …Comparisons dog the footsteps of all creation wherever the poetic principle is involved, because the inferior mind learns only by comparisons; comparisons, usually unequivocal, made by selfish interests each for the other.  

But the superior mind learns by analyses: the study of nature. 

Many of our young … are eager, groping; … but they are fed prejudicial comparisons instead of the results of patient intelligent analyses or performance based upon nature… … persistent analyses based upon actual experience is so rare…”  - Frank Llloyd Wright
