When is intelligence the answer?
When information is scattered and contradictory, there are many uncertainties, and a business decision with high stakes lies ahead.
In intelligence assignments, the need almost always comes down to one question: “How could we sell more?” or “Why aren’t we winning tenders?”
Our intelligence services include
- Competitive intelligence
- Intelligence support for market entry and sales
- Strategic foresight and scenario assessments
When is research the answer?
When people are the key sources and can be reached fairly easily through surveys or interviews.
When you need comparable data, or views from customers or decision-makers — for example as a basis for development work.
Our research services include
- Customer and stakeholder research
- Brand and communications research
- Product development support
- Population-level panel surveys
Cases

Supply chains in a new market
How are the supply chains of a target industry built, and how can a company integrate into them? We analysed the key players, supply chains and market potential across 15 European countries.

Six international industrial competitors: financials, order books and capacity of their production plants, and strategies — plus an assessment of where the industry is heading in the near future.

For a manufacturer of construction products, we identified some 1,500 suitable construction projects and around 2,000 relevant prospect organisations in 17 countries — along with around 2,000 named contacts and their contact details.
Preliminary background check for an acquisition
On behalf of a listed company, we investigated the background of a planned acquisition target before the first contact was made. Our findings laid the groundwork for the actual due diligence process.
