Experiences, Insights and Inspiration  Shared

Staying loyal to the well-received ‘hands on’ approaches, the agenda in the GIA Conference is all about sharing real life experiences and proven best practices in MI development. Specifically, the conference program has been built around the following themes:

1. Key Success Factors for High Impact Market Intelligence

  • Scope: Adding future focus to Intelligence program; Holistic market coverage of intelligence program
  • Process: Decision point intelligence; Business process integration of MI
  • Deliverables: Practical examples of high impact deliverables; Managing deliverables portfolios
  • Tools: Utilizing tools to activate internal intelligence networks and facilitating a two-way flow of information
  • Organization: How a well-established MI network can make the difference to your MI program; Developing consultative skills for your intelligence team; how to transform from information hub into a strategic advisor
  • Culture: How to build an intelligence sharing culture supporting two-way communication; Branding and role of selling and internal marketing of MI

2. Integrating MI with Key Decision Making Processes

  • MI to support strategic planning and dynamic strategy implementation
  • The strategic advisor role of MI
  • MI for revenue generation and sales enablement

3. Inspiration and Advice to Go and Implement Best Practices

  • The GIA Conference track-record regarding applicability of the presented best practices is very high but we want to aim even higher in London
  • Inspiration and advice to apply is a theme cross-referencing every case, workshop and panel in the Conference
  • Speakers, facilitators, and panelists have been specifically requested to provide inspirational sessions and advice to participants on how to best apply the presented practices in different contexts
  • Attendees may expect to walk away with pragmatic ideas/initiatives to be implemented within 6-12 months

4. Market Intelligence Around the World

  • Given the enduring challenge for companies in the Western world to find and utilize the tremendous business opportunities in the emerging markets such as Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and different parts of the Asia-Pacific region, this popular theme is once again included in the GIA Conference agenda.



The GIA Conference will focus strictly on delivering best-in-class educational program. The Conference program has been designed based on feedback from participants in past conferences and seminars organized by GIA. There will be no exhibition area or vendor/sponsor product presentations.
