Battle: Smart Tools for Effective CI/MI


Many CI/MI professionals struggle to get their job done – given the high complexity and a heavy workload! The good news is that there are many smart tools for sup­porting indivi­duals to auto­mate MI/CI rou­tine jobs or for ex­ten­ding the en­ve­lope of tasks that in­di­vi­duals can handle. The bad news is how­ever that the tool mar­ket is highly dyna­mic and un­trans­parent. So, peer recom­men­da­tions are key to our com­mu­nity.
 

In this session CI/MI practitioners will introduce their favorite tools - while the other participants will ask questions!

  • Each practitioner will present a 5-minute showcase of their most recommended tool.
  • After these pitches, we’ll open breakout rooms for each presenter!
  • You can join any of these sessions to learn more about these tools and their practical applications.
  • At the end of the session, we’ll ask you to vote for the most useful and relevant CI/MI tools.

Impressions from prior conferences



Tools can be software, services, databases, or communities either solving or simplifying a typical CI/MI task, e.g. organization of research projects, data visualization and analysis, website monitoring, social media analysis/monitoring, project management, creativity tools, document management, knowledge management, text mining/analysis, patent analysis, reporting/dissemination tools, network analysis, geospatial intelligence tools, databases, and resource indices.
