Competitive intelligence is one of the only strategic research methods that can give insight into<br />

the future by understanding where competitors currently are, where they want to be, and the<br />

steps are they are planning to take to get there. Can you envision a way to defend against those<br />

competitive plans with a method that helps recognize and counter competitive tactics?<br />

The traditional definition of a pressure point is a contact that produces a certain response<br />

when force is applied. Pressure points can be used to exploit a weakness or vulnerability to<br />

gain an advantage over an opponent, whether in martial arts or in business. Pressure applied to<br />

critical weak points can make it difficult to compete.<br />

Pressure point-focused competitive intelligence identifies a competitor’s weak points. Once these<br />

pressure points are recognized, various defensive measures – pressure point control tactics<br />

(PPCT) – can be applied to block or thwart competitive moves, providing a business time to<br />

redirect, adjust or accelerate its own efforts to regain the upper hand.<br />

This session provides a clear understanding of the use of Pressure Point-Focused CI and<br />

stimulates thinking about how to apply this method. The session will lay the ground work for high<br />

impact decision support counter-efforts.<br />

Key Take-Aways:<br />

g An approach to isolating competitive business pressure points through forensic CI<br />

mapping<br />

g Action items to prioritize areas of critical mass<br />

g Pressure point control tactics<br />

g Best practices in applying the use of pressure point focused CI<br />
