This course, based on the analytical model developed and popularized in Dr. Gilad’s best selling book, Business Blindspots (Irwin, 1994, Infonortics, 1996), will equip you to analyze competitors as well as industries that
will significantly affect your company’s future and bring value to the top management team. Using a Harvard Business School case study, you will learn how to:

  • Predict your industry’s evolution paths
  • Understand competitors’ behaviors and predict significant competitive moves
  • Pinpoint competitors’ soft spots, blindspots, and strategic vulnerabilities
  • Assess the importance of information and the right questions to ask your collection network
  • Evaluate your own company’s strategy and its blindspots, as well as pinpoint its vulnerabilities
  • Identify sources of critical change in the market
  • Create proactive intelligence to preempt competitors’ strategic moves
With this course, attendees will receive Dr. Gilad’s book, Early Warning (Amacom, 2003).
