The WILLIAMS INFERENCE service is a respected name in inferential business intelligence. Based in Longmeadow MA, they have been reporting to clients for more than thirty years. Clients use their unique insights about change to inform decision-making and achieve superior performance - year after year.
The Williams approach to environmental scanning focuses attention on those areas of the outside world where change impacts the business environment - be it economic, political, social, technological or demographic. The starting point is the search for clues: anomalies, surprises and the unusual. These early indications of change may easily go unnoticed in today’s morass of information overload.
The service maintains an extended network of skilled readers who monitor a broad spectrum of global information. Our sources include over 200 publications, financial markets, books, film, TV and the Internet. After careful selection, observations are grouped thematically to highlight change as it emerges. Early insight into these new and unfamiliar patterns is the key to anticipating and profiting from a volatile world.
