SLA's Click University Competitive Intelligence Certificates Program, in partnership with Knowledge inForm, is developed with consideration for the requirements of LIS professionals, effective and recognized intelligence practices, organizations practicing intelligence, and the professional development marketplace.
The development of these courses incorporates feedback and observations, and lessons learned conducting intelligence training for LIS and business professionals, best practices in intelligence training, best practices from other professional development programs, and feedback and trends from Knowledge inForm's intelligence consulting and training efforts.
In 2011, two newly-developed courses will be offered. These courses are considered electives to the full certificates program, which is on hiatus through 2011.
