CI Management Models: Strategic vs. Tactical
July 23, 2019
Competitive Intelligence (CI) practitioners often pigeonhole themselves into particular roles, focusing on a specific set of responsibilities. Fueling this are preconceived notions that there is a proper formula for success in this profession. But the truth is that CI has many faces, operates at different levels within an organization, and supports the business in a variety of ways. The bottom line: there is no cookie-cutter formula for CI success. CI Fellows Tim Kindler and Alysse Nockels will demonstrate how two CI managers with deep CI backgrounds found success at different ends of the CI management spectrum. Join us as they review their management experiences, describe how they arrived at their current management roles, and discuss their approaches and unique value to their respective organizations.
ROI of Win/Loss Analysis: Reflections from Two Veterans
June 25, 2019
You will not find a competitive intelligence practice that has a greater Return on Investment than Win/Loss analysis. Win/Loss analysis is an almost real-time feedback mechanism to tell the business and decision makers what is resonating (or not) with customers. It delivers clear guidance on what the business needs to do to improve their offerings, capabilities and processes. Particularly in B2B settings, if done right, Win/Loss analysis delivers critical insight to all stakeholders and decision makers inside the business.
Ellen Naylor and August Jackson are two veteran Win/Loss practitioners. Join us for a free-form conversation and Q&A consisting of three (3) decades of Win/Loss lessons learned and advice. Ellen will share her perspective as a practitioner, consultant and author working in diverse B2B industries. August will share his experience as a practitioner in dynamic B2B markets.
