'The Art of Intelligence' from Johannes pulls together a 30,000 foot compendium of the why, what, how and what now of market intelligence for those starting out. It represents an authority on leveraging IT as well as outsourcing and lays crumbs to source additional reading from other leading authorities. Johannes brings to life each of the steps in the intelligence process by using examples from leading companies from a variety of dynamic industries as well as entire chapter dedicated to how they have positioned intelligence to survive in the most turbulent of industries.
