ICI-24 Workshop: Design and Operation of In-house CI Centers
How to set up and manage an in-house CI center to increase efficiency and "return on intelligence"
An in-house competitive/market intelligence center operates as a company-wide hub for managing all CI/MI activities. As a think tank, it drives future-oriented issues and provides support for projects in business development, R&D, sales and product management.
By operating an efficient CI center, you’ll enhance the competitiveness of your company. You’ll be able to anticipate new market developments and competitor moves in time. The CI center will help your company to avoid making poor and costly decisions. What’s more, your “return on intelligence” will increase by professionalizing the processes and structures within your CI center.
