Competitive intelligence (CI) is about being mindful of the dynamics in your industry and anticipating change before they occur. Our CI practice is designed not to help our clients undercut competition, but to help them mitigate the possibility of being disrupted by competition, discover risks before they become apparent, and capitalize on opportunities before they are taken away.
C ompetitive Intelligence involves gathering and analyzing actionable information about industry rivals and changes that are imminent in the marketplace. It requires thinking ahead and planning for the unexpected, so you are not blindsided by disruptive forces. As part of our competitive intelligence practice, we help companies synthesize information from public and non-public sources to assess the moves being made in their industries and how they can best prepare for those moves.
“To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. ”
