Connecting Insights to Competitive Intelligence
What's it about?
The quest for information to gain a competitive advantage starts with a business question.
But what if the resources to attain the answers to business questions are either unknown, unavailable, or unattainable since they do not even exist?
This is where competitive intelligence comes in, the art and science of breaking through the dilemma of minimal resources of information, to open up a continent full of valuable insights, with profitable growth opportunities in Africa.
What's in it for me?
By attending, you will gain:
A good overview of why we need competitive intelligence, and its challenges in Africa
A road map for driving through the competitive intelligence dilemma
Optimum methods/opportunities agencies can use to support clients in different industries
Who is this for?
This Community Circle is a must-attend for businesses and agencies who face the challenges of finding reliable information to base business decisions on in Africa.
