Melanie, as you know we tend to use Word format for all of our documents. It allows for more text and more analysis. The ability to add in-depth analysis to the presentation is key.

Yes, I think you are correct. I attended an event in Toronto about four years ago. They have have sold out to SCIP which has since sold out to Frost and Sullivan. Thanks!

I think CI is a very narrow niche. CI used in conjuction with other types of research is in very high demand right now. Some companies are at capacity or over capacity. Just my two cents.

Profile Information

About Me:
10 year veteran of prime source research. Acclaro is a strategic research firm focused on the private equity market but we use primary research as part of our data collection process. Acclaro is more focused on analysis and strategic recommendations for clients but prime source research is part of our data collection process.
Website:
http://www.acclaropartners.com
My Interest in Competitive Intelligence is:
CI is used as one part of our data collection process. Acclaro is not a CI firm but many of our employees have CI experience from other firms.
Acclaro delivers fact-based research and insights to challenges that executives face on a daily basis. We often act as a sounding board for an executive’s new ideas, new direction or even when selecting from a multitude of good alternatives. Our work assists executives and their teams in evaluating, filtering and choosing the most profitable solutions to their quandaries. We work with three key client segments: Private Equity Firms and their Portfolio Companies as well as with Middle Market Corporations.

Our services are organized into functional and industry practices. Our M&A Business Due Diligence functional practice might be of immediate interest to Private Equity firms. However, Corporate M&A or Corporate Development executives might also find similar information useful as they investigate issues surrounding the buying or selling of company divisions.

Ted,

Glad to join the C I network. I have been on Acclaro's site...very impressive. I strongly recommend you and your executives seriously consider creating a presence in China.

Hmmm...good question. Colombo was always very good at getting his suspects to commit to little details, and then he'd come back and ask them a whopper. So I'd say he was using one of the influence techniques (commitment and consistency).
