ArchIntel: How do you establish an advantage, integrate competitive intelligence and discover new insights about the market, competitors and customers?

“Well competitive intelligence (CI) isn’t just about competitors. It’s about the overall market, knowing how solutions are being provided and finding where the gaps are and what the trends will be. Those answers need to be based on customer input, as well as what you’ve learned from research and intelligence sources.”

ArchIntel: What are some of the things that people will tend to overlook in competitive intelligence?

“I think that the biggest thing I see is that companies can overlook or devalue how competitors will attempt to exploit our own weaknesses. Much like we look at competition, our competitors around the beltway are sitting in boardrooms analyzing Perspecta’s strengths and attempting to exploit our weaknesses.”
