How to convert Information into Intelligence

EMP Intelligence Service invites you to a workshop on:

"More analysis - less information"
Most CI operations face this challenge eventually. But how do you produce "more analysis"? And which methods of analysis are best?
This workshop answers these questions. It shows you how to raise the performance of your CI operation from information production to competitive analysis. 

This workshop will:

  • Help you increase the value of your CI operation 
  • Give you new techniques and show you how and when to use them
  • Take the jargon out of competitive analysis and make some commonly used methods of analysis much more useful
  • Show you how to make your analysis practical and relevant to the business
  • Improve your thinking abilities and generate greater acceptance of your analysis among senior managers
  • Give you practical opportunities to use particular methods of analysis
  • Learn from case examples of successful use of competitive analysis

detailed workshop programme

Methods of analysis are vital for adding value to competitor information. But in many cases most so-called 'analysis' is wasted. Either it is too abstract or generalised to be of any practical use or the analysis is so technical and full of jargon that senior managers don't know what you're talking about. It does not pass the 'so-what?' test. In this workshop you will:
  • Understand how to use analysis to identify opportunities and threats
  • Learn how to analyse potential competition
    • New Competitors; New entrants; Niche players
  • Learn how to analyse current competitors
    • Head-to-Heads; New entrants; Niche players
  • Know how to use various analytical techniques and tools in a practical and jargon-free way, and know when to use what tool and why
