Traditional CI is premised on a reactive, two-part relationship—that is, a CI professional responding to what you identify as a need, usually the result of seeing another new threat. But, by doing some of this yourself, you can turn CI from being reactive to being proactive. Competitive intelligence professionals play a vital role in developing a successful customer relationship management (CRM) strategy in the organizations.

Why not just always use an internal CI team or an outside CI consultant? There is nothing wrong with those options, and this webinar will discuss them. This session will emphasize on when and how to plan your own research and how to create a CI tool box. It will provide attendees a comprehensive knowledge on the research techniques and what are the best sources of raw data.
