About AWARE
Competitive & Marketing Intelligence Training
Mentoring


MentoringAWARE offers in-house training in all aspects of Competitive and Marketing Intelligence - ranging from the basics to advanced analysis.

Many CI professionals work as “one-person” departments and do not have a large budget or a team of people to work with. At the same time, they need to improve their skills or seek out help and advice.

Our mentoring service aims to provide this – by providing the benefits of an in-house training course customised to the company circumstances, but on a one-on-one basis. With AWARE mentoring you can gain the training and support you need, when you need it, tailored to your particular organisation's products and services.

The mentoring service is designed around you – and can be a mixture of one-on-one tutoring, telephone support or e-mail correspondence. We will help you get started on projects, showing you how you can collect the information required, and then analyse it to get the insights needed for strategy. At each step we can be there for you, so that your “one-person” department is not alone.

Our costs for mentoring depend on the level of service agreed. Generally we would expect to spend an initial day with you – providing practical support for your current projects while teaching you the basics of CI. Following this, we would provide on-going telephone / e-mail support, with additional visits as required. At the same time, we recognise that your budget may be limited and so we aim to keep costs to no more than those charged for our basic training services.

Quick Tip

Quick Tip: Consumers

Consumers are statistics. Customers are people. (Stanley Marcus)

How do you view your customers?

Do you see them as simply profit-streams, or customer reference numbers or do you genuinely care about them. If the former, how do you ensure that your customers stay happy with your services, when you don't recognise their individuality and humanity.

Just think how you would feel if you were treated like a number, especially if you could switch to a competitor who made you feel special!

Read our review of this book

Michael Porter described this book as "the most important single contribution" in taking his original ideas on ways of achieving competitive advantage forward. The book is easy to read, inexpensive and contains numerous ideas to help reshape and challenge thought processes. The writers develop Porter's 5 forces model, and introduce a sixth force. They emphasise the strategic advantages of co-operation and look at game theory as a way of approaching business strategy.
