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: Questions

Quick Tip: Ask the right question

Rather than look for information to answer a question, think about how you will use the answer.

If you won't be able to incorporate actions based on the answer you find into your business strategy then maybe the question you asked needs changing to something that will lead to meaningful actions.

The front cover of "Smart Services" includes a quote from Andrew Garvin, the CEO of Find/SVP saying: "Finally a book that nails down what every service business needs to know about competition and competitive intelligence. 'Smart Services' offers competitive information strategies that firms can put to immediate use." I don't think that I could have given a better summary and description of this excellent book.
