Unleash Your Inner Sherlock Holmes with Our Competitive Intelligence Research Certificate
Ever wondered how Sherlock Holmes, the world-renowned detective, would perform as a professional CI/MI researcher?
His analytical skills, attention to detail, and knack for solving complex cases are not just for fictional detectives - they’re also essential for competitive and market intelligence researchers.
Information Gathering: Just as Holmes uses newspapers, books, and personal interviews to gather clues, CI researchers tap into a plethora of specific resources like trade show and event intelligence, social media, and patent information. At ICI, we teach you how to harness these tools to gain a competitive edge.
Analysis: Holmes and CI researchers share a common trait - the ability to draw logical conclusions based on facts and probabilities. Our program will equip you with the skills to analyze and understand the context of your competitors’ actions.
Knowledge Management: Unlike the solitary Holmes, CI researchers thrive on collaboration. Learn how to leverage your organization’s collective knowledge and become an expert in communication and knowledge management.
Ethics and Legal Boundaries: Unlike our detective friend who occasionally bends the rules, CI researchers must always respect ethical and legal boundaries. We’ll teach you how to conduct your research ethically, respecting the privacy and rights of your sources and competitors.
Would Sherlock Holmes be a good CI/MI researcher? Perhaps his eccentricity might not fit into today’s corporate culture, but he certainly embodies many qualities that are invaluable to a CI/MI researcher.
