Taking Your MI Program to the Next Level through Best Practice Benchmarking
– Learn Best Practices from Experienced Peers and Design an MI Development Road-Map as a Result

Facilitators: Philip Britton, Senior Manager, Competitive Strategies, Best Buy, and Markko Vaarnas, CEO, Global Intelligence Alliance

As a successful intelligence program develops, building a positive “intelligence culture” becomes important. This makes the practitioner seek out real world examples for success versus standard textbook learning. Exchanging information with peers, benchmarking your own operations against best practices, and creatively exploring practices across industries together with other experienced intelligence leaders are some of the best methods for taking your own intelligence program to the next level.

 

In this workshop, participants will:
•Learn what World Class Market Intelligence means and the associated success factors
•Conduct a diagnostics survey on their own company’s MI development status, and identify and prioritize related development gaps
•Benchmark their own organization against best practices in taking the MI program to the next level
•Leverage the World Class Market Intelligence Framework for concrete intelligence development efforts
•Develop new ways to implement their intelligence toolkit

The workshop targets accomplished intelligence professionals who can bring a wealth of experience in order for all to learn from each other.
