Growth is an On-going Team Effort
 It
takes a dedicated team of informed professionals working
together to realize your company’s growth objectives. Knowing
when and which opportunities to pursue; creating a global sense
of community; and understanding the challenges via business
information gathered through market research and competitive
intelligence are a few key components to your success.
Knowledge and information can help you realize growth, foster
innovation and develop your competitive edge.
And, we are just weeks away from the
SCIP 2011 International
Annual Conference & Exhibition held in Orlando, FL on May 9.
This is where leading thought leaders, high-level executives and
CI practitioners gather for the largest competitive intelligence
event of the year to share information and discuss the
challenges we all face. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore
some of the fundamental techniques of building a solid
competitive strategy while working with other business
disciplines and members of your CEOs Growth Team.
Sincerely,
David Frigstad

If 25 percent of the world speaks English, then
choosing English as
your primary business
language means you're excluding 75 percent of
humanity
from the dialog. Beckmann questions the
motive behind the language you use
to communicate
with your audience, and why it's used.
