What Is Competitive Intelligence?
Competitive intelligence involves the collection and analysis of data about your industry, market trends, customer preferences, and most importantly, your competitors. The goal is to turn this information into actionable insights that inform business strategy and improve decision-making.
Key areas of competitive intelligence include:
- Competitor product and service offerings
- Marketing and messaging strategies
- Pricing models
- Sales tactics and channel strategies
- Customer satisfaction and market perception
- Emerging market entrants and disruptive trends
Unlike simple data gathering, CI is strategic, ongoing, and tailored to drive specific business goals, from new product development to go-to-market planning.
