Global Intelligence Alliance Launches New Offering Highlighting the Linkage Between Market Intelligence and Strategic Planning

Global Intelligence Alliance announces a new commercial offering whereby it will support corporate strategic planning through systematic Market Intelligence. The offering builds on the newly released GIA White Paper, titled “Market Intelligence for the Strategy & Planning Process”.

Linking Market Intelligence with business processes is key in ensuring a good ROI
Many companies today already have a systematic Market Intelligence operation in place. The users of business information have been defined, and the intelligence process has been adequately resourced with people, information sources, and technology tools.

Resourcing for Market Intelligence is an investment, and it logically raises the question of how to best leverage the MI operation for tangible business benefits. Linking intelligence activities with business processes such as strategic planning is the answer: It ensures that the processed business information always responds to concrete needs, and that it will be utilized in decision-making.
