This Case Study illustrates the power of Internet-based communities.
Building an Internet-based Community Intelligence Network
The power of real-time, independently provided and unbiased intelligence information- whether used for business intelligence, investing intelligence, or philanthropic causes- is only now beginning to be understood.
Think, for example, if you could have instant access to a worldwide network of experts-segmented by area of expertise-with which you could easily and securely communicate, gather and analyze responses and ideas, and instantly convert data and information into "actable" intelligence on a daily basis.
In the past, the cost and complexity of building such intelligence networks made it impossible to realize even for large-scale organizations. Today, Euclid's community intelligence building tools are being used to create the most unique internet-based intelligence networks in the world.
The information that follows shows how a worldwide networked community has been organized to harness the power of real-time "actable" intelligence, and how top quality community building tools can be successfully coupled with advanced community mobilization strategies to guarantee maximum participation in the intelligence network.
The Power of Community Intelligence Networks: The ChangeWave Alliance
There is a huge market for real-time, independent, business intelligence information for use by consumers and organizations.
Euclid's ClearVantage community building tools have been used by ChangeWave Investment Resources to build the "ChangeWave Alliance," a unique investment intelligence network composed of 3,000 highly qualified, credentialed business executives and technology professionals representing over 20 different industry sectors worldwide.
ChangeWave surveys its Alliance members on a range of business and investment research and intelligence topics, collects feedback from them electronically, interprets and reconciles the information in a cohesive manner and converts the information into meaningful reports and investment advice.
Building the ChangeWave Alliance: A Case Study
A human-based intelligence network is only as good as its participants-and how well participants' skills and knowledge are classified.
As an example, Euclid's community intelligence building tools have been used to automate all aspects of the ChangeWave Alliance's worldwide community intelligence network, including its membership application and accreditation process.
