Corporate Intelligence - From Risk to Sales

We are coming to the end of a very deep recession where many long established corporations have failed, where major corporations have closed the Corporate Intelligence departments, their eyes and ears, and where sales forces have been cut to the bone.

Now is the time to look at the entire Corporate Intelligence structure, especially for sales and marketing. The old model of "Lucy Librarians" has proved useless to predict the massive collapse of the marketplace, and keep up with the rapidly changing face of global competition. Today new software tools are needed to keep track of the overwhelming volume of information and data that is flooding into the offices of key executives, and those tasked with the recovery of the enterprise.

In the field of Political Intelligence we have new software that tracks the players, and clearly indicates the "Strange Bedfellows" relationships that are developing in Washington, Beijing, Moscow and around the world as alliances are formed, modified and dismantled to meet changing political and financial objectives.

We too are changing our focus, more to consultancy and providing the software, resources and training for companies to lever their own resources, staff and knowledge base to develop first class intelligence processes, create actionable intelligence, and have a positive effect on the bottom line without reinventing the wheel.

One exciting aspect of this change is to bring more of the training and team resource management we have successfully developed for military, intelligence and aviation to the general marketplace. Areas of interest are corporate intelligence, high risk teams, and of course field sales teams.
