Corporate Strategies for Tough Economic Times - Why Competitive Intelligence Matters: An i2live Conference Call

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Seena Sharp, a thought-leader in competitive intelligence, will share her expertise on how senior executives and corporate decision-makers can use market intelligence to seize opportunity, minimize risk, and expand their company – even in today's challenging economic climate. This is a free event sponsored by Industry Intelligence in cooperation with Strategic and Competitive Intelligence Professionals as part of its i2live series.

Ms. Sharp has designed this presentation around questions she is often asked by those responsible for strategic planning. Why has a competitor's new product offering been successful – and ours hasn't? Why did the intelligence gathered by our in-house analysts not support the results? Where do I find the market intelligence I really need to build competitive advantage for my company? How can I become aware of market changes, thereby reducing "surprises"?

In this 60-minute online presentation with slides, you will learn from Ms. Sharp how the use of market intelligence makes money or saves money. What the "right" information is. Why experience, data, common sense, and intuition are not as reliable as in the past.

As an established leader in market intelligence, Ms. Sharp works with clients to uncover current market drivers, unknown customers, emerging competitors, alternative uses, opportunities and threats, external competitive trends.

A book author and founder of Sharp Market Intelligence, Seena Sharp will demonstrate how you can put today's economic turbulence to work to make better decisions and grow your company. You will have the opportunity to interact with her directly during the Q&A session following the call.
