Your needs
What are your analysis and intelligence requirements?

Company analysis
I need to gain a better understanding of a company’s strategy, competitive positioning and critical issues so I can advise them better or approach them with the correct service offering.

Sector analysis
I require a solid understanding of what is happening in a sector, including the trends and developments, critical issues, growth drivers, regulatory frameworks, etc.

Market entry assessment and market development
The markets that I am currently operating in are experiencing low growth and I therefore need to look at entering new markets.

Business development support
My business development efforts need to be sharpened and augmented with insights from research and analysis so that it gives my company a competitive edge when pitching for new business.

Competitive intelligence and benchmarking
I need to gain an in-depth understanding of the competition so I can strengthen my company’s positioning, or advise my clients how they are performing versus their respective peer group.

Thought leadership
I am planning to launch a thought leadership piece and I need to research the subject.

Critical issue and thematic research
I require research to understand a critical issue or thematic issue better.

Horizon scanning and scenario planning
My company needs a better forward-looking capability so that I can see what’s on the horizon to make better corporate decisions or advice my clients about upcoming trends and developments.
