Real Insights 📊

Every strategic business decision should be based on solid market and competitor intelligence. The most successful companies gather intelligence as part of an ongoing team based process. We were delighted to develop this programme iin colloboration with our colleague Roisin Bell of Knowledgework which equips participants with the tools and skills to gain critical information to make those strategic decisions. At the end of the programme, participants will have gained the skills to: – Gather critical market information on competitors, prospects, choice of market to inform decision making – Base their decisions on valid market intelligence – Implement a repeatable team based process promoting team based decision making.
