What if our competitors . . . . .
|
| |
Question: |
How
can we anticipate competitive actions and what tactics should we
consider? What should we look for? What happens if
we do nothing? Should we be doing something right now or
in the near future as a defensive move? |
| |
Methods: |
Large
group session conducted with high-level company executives |
| |
Response: |
We
conducted a day long work session with the key executives who
were considered to be the “braintrust” of a particular
business area. The process included whole group
brainstorming; small group discussions focusing on specific
potential competitive threats; and group consensus on
prioritizing potential threats and counter tactics. |
| |
Impact: |
The
discussion of potential competitive threats and associated
defensive moves resulted in a list of signs to watch for and
potential tactics to “keep on the shelf” and readily
available for reference in the event of such competitive
activity. |
