How did CI influence MR business? Central focus of MR used to be: • metric characteristics (reliability, validity,..) • statistical testing • high professionalism for all cost Central focus of MR today is: • critical approach to the data • placement in a holistic market information system • congruent with other available data within the company • implementation
Our guiding star:“Data into Knowledge, Information into Intelligence and Intelligence into Action” forejudgement what we were seen as goals what we are aiming for gatheringinformation analysisand evaluation; information intelligence MR and CI MR and CI are part of Marketing Intelligence reactive proactive

Internal Network • Formal part • Informal part Employees are one of the best source of information! Promote/advocate the MI function: • There is no unimportant information! • Knowledge is power! • Every piece of information creates a part of knowledge puzzle. • The whole is more then the total sum of parts! 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 > 4

How does an effective, ready to be implemented MI program look like?
Depends upon the company’s: • intelligence needs, wishes • strategy • business objectives • company organizational structure and culture • management style
Answering questions… • What are company's information needs and wants? • Who are we delivering intelligence for? • What is our focus? • What is our time line? • How will we present and disseminate our findings? • How will we implement intelligence finding? • “How to become an important part of business strategy?"
But always do… • develop and apply analytical processes and critical approach to data – see beyond your organisation • imply your activities in the context of the entire market • gather info from different sources – be well informed and foresee the activities of the other market players • promote MI within the company and increase the use and the awareness of your actions - be visible, create your our own "MI" brand and processes …MI always is a work in progress, process that never ends, a situation in development…
MI – the holistic approach • the amount of info and different sources is rapidly rising - every 3 years the quantity of data and info in the world doubles • the data are not complete and quite often contradictory • the level of uncertainty need for holistic understanding of the market need to understand what the data truly mean holistic information system
