The 14th edition of PUZZLE is dedicated to the pick up and use of the knowledge for Competitive Intelligence on the part of the human resources. The human capital, and therefore the intellectual, is one of the main sources for the creation and development of Intelligence in the company or organization.

"Intelligence", within our context, is synonymous of capacities and abilities to interpret the facts and events, as much external as internal, and to be able to offer a solution to the problems created before, during and after taking strategic decisions. For this reason, human resources represent an essential capital for the center of Intelligence and all the organizations.

For example, the first article of this number makes a proposal of management of intangible resources or intellectual capital to face the present competitive conditions.

To develop an I+D+I department also implies organizational changes and an improvement of the potential of the intellectual capital of a company. The case exposed in the second article demonstrates the effort that a company must make to happen of an isolated activity of CI to a center totally integrated in the strategy of the organization.

Finally the case presented in the last article is an interesting example of the use of the CI in a small organization formed by multifunctional equipment defending collective interests by means of a civic platform. Again the CI activity is an instrument that improves its knowledge of the surroundings and its capacity of action.

Organizational Intelligence as a dynamic creator of Intellectual Capital, Carlos Merino
La Inteligencia Organizativa como Dinamizador del Capital Intelectual, Carlos Merino
November-December 2004, Vol. 3, No. 14, pp.4-10
- Currently, intangible assets management is an increasingly relevant issue for the improvement of the organizational competitiveness, above all, from the point of view related to the resources and capacities. Thus, the creation, development and management of organizational knowledge, along with its set of tools, are fronting the challenge to complete traditional management schemes. This reality needs new proposals that will allow it to dynamize this approach, the frame of the subject called Intellectual Capital.

From Documentation to Competitive Intelligence Departament: ZAMBON Group case, Carla Vassori
De la Documentación a la Inteligencia Competitiva: El Caso del Grupo ZAMBON, Carla Vassori
November-December 2004, Vol. 3, No. 14, pp.11-17
- This article offers a detailed view of the development of the CI capability in Zambon Group, a multinational pharmaceutical and chemical company. It describes an organizational change process that emphasizes the role of CI as a strategic decision support and stresses the role of CI as a company-wide activity. Changing the role of CI from a pure documentation function to a support for the organizational decision-making really represents a challenge because there are a lot of barriers that the CI professional must face within the company. Top management should drive and facilitate the process, but it’s not enough. An important additional task is to integrate CI in the business planning process.

Este artículo ofrece una visión detallada de la función de la Inteligencia Competitiva (IC) en el Grupo Zambon, una empresa multinacional farmacéutica y química. Se describe un proceso de cambio organizativo que culmina con el énfasis en la misión que tiene la IC como apoyo a la decisión estratégica y subraya el papel del la IC como una actividad que abarca toda la empresa. El cambio desde una función puramente de documentación al apoyo a las decisiones organizativas representa un desafío ya que son muchas las barreras que el profesional de la IC debe afrontar dentro de la empresa. La alta dirección debería impulsar y facilitar el proceso, pero eso no es suficiente. Una importante tarea adicional es integrar la IC en el proceso de planificación de la empresa.
