I'm an independent CI consultant based in Calgary, Alberta. My company is called Strix Insights.
I do a lot of work supporting specialized B2B clients with a focus on energy, high tech manufacturing, software and professional services. I provide full cycle support to my clients from primary and secondary research to analysis.
I studied geoscience in university and first worked as a geophysicist in the oil industry before transitioning to business analysis roles in natural gas price forecasting, new country entry strategy and acquisitions and divestitures. In the course of that work I discovered competitive intelligence and SCIP and have never looked back.
Alli,
Mr.Dwevedi has given me your name. I would like to learn more about SCIP and Canada West CI. I know I can learn much from SCIP and members such as yourself as I see you have experience in new country entry strategy which is also my area of interest. These days I find it especially frustrating that so many Canadian (albertan) companies are stressed because of the downturn in the US market. I realize it's tough everywhere but when you put about 80% of your eggs in one basket and that basket tips over, things get tough. If only more companies would look into global markets armed with accurate and up to date CI.
