cy-IC
What is in a name? Well in this case a message. IC stands for Intellectual Capital. The most valuable asset a company has; Possibly also the least recognised and almost certainly the most badly managed asset.
cy? Well that is my cryptic way of saying "see why". So the name has the double entendre of "See why I see" and "See why IC".
In spite of frequent reference to terms such as the knowledge economy, core competence, emergent strategies and others, most people have not yet grasped the significance of intellectual capital and how it is the basis of organisational intelligence. Without organisational intelligence there is no way to successfully compete in the knowledge economy.

, no words, no grasp, no action and no hope.In the three sections that follow I hope to give you an appreciation of why I make these claims.
