Institutional Position

The Enterprise Intelligence Institute welcomes responsible collaboration across disciplines while maintaining rigorous standards for contribution, provenance, evidence, attribution, intellectual property and professional judgment.

EII Working Groups are contribution environments. Membership alone does not guarantee participation. Sponsorship does not create Working Group authority. Commercial relationships do not create Working Group authority. Working Group participation is based upon contribution, expertise, relevance and EII governance.
