Competitive Intelligence Council

This Council shares new ideas, solves problems, and builds relationships that enable us to benchmark and further both our own and our companies’ development in competitive analysis. Among other topics, we discuss:

Economic and competitive financial forecasting
Human intelligence elicitation and collection techniques
Competitive Intelligence (CI) function agility, adaptability and results achievement

We pay special attention to the ethics of competitive analysis; our emphasis on confidentiality makes for an intensive exchange of ideas on this sensitive topic.
