Page 8 of 10 Competitive Intelligence Officer
The Competitive Intelligence Officer's task is to see the market, and especially their company, through the eyes of the competitor. They answer these questions for their company:
- How does this competitor measure success?
- What segments matter most to them?
- What are they doing to achieve competitive advantage?
- What will they do with their product line next year? In two years?
- Is our company a threat to the competition?
- What could the competition do that is not in "our" company's interest?
- How can "our" company influence the competition to do what "we" want?
Each round, Competitive Intelligence Officers present a Competitive strategy in the form of, "If I were them, I would...." They should then recommend tactics designed to counter or neutralize their moves.
