SUMMARY:How Competitive Intelligence Helps Professional Service Firms 
 Succeed
DESCRIPTION:Has your professional services firm been blindsided by glo
 balization, disruptive innovations, or new competitors? Would your pro
 fessional services firm benefit from the insights competitive intellig
 ence can offer? Are you curious if your skill set and competitive inte
 lligence experience would be a good fit in a professional services en
 vironment?\nProfessional services firms (e.g., legal, accounting, medi
 cal, consulting, engineering, architectural) can be rewarding workplac
 es for Competitive Intelligence professionals—or not. Their work for
 ces are well-educated, licensed subject-matter experts, and many are f
 irm owners. With multiple owners and organizations highly matrixed alo
 ng lines of business, client sectors, and locations, decision-making c
 an be a slow, black-box affair. Yet these firms badly need Competitive
  Intelligence to navigate today’s market changes caused by globaliz
 ation, disruptive innovations, and new competitors. Successful Competi
 tive Intelligence pros win and keep leaders’ trust, build strong in
 tel networks, work on a wide array of issues and entities, and fend of
 f “Hey, you!” assignments.\nLearning objectives:\n\nUnderstand how
  cultures and clients in professional services firms vary significantl
 y from those of large corporations or government entities.\nRecognize 
 that Competitive Intelligence clients in these firms have high needs 
 to (a) evaluate your worthiness to advise them, (b) critique and deba
 te your intelligence as a means of understanding it, and (c) resolve c
 onflicts they often feel between being a professional and managing a b
 usiness.\nAnalyze your personal attributes and Competitive Intelligenc
 e skills to predict whether you will thrive in a professional service
 s firm.\n\nAnn Lee Gibson, Ph.D. of Ann Lee Gibson Consulting advise

 r $800 million in new business.\nDr. Gibson will present 30 minutes on
  how competitive intelligence can be a deciding factor in the success 
 of professional firms and will be joined by webinar moderator Dr. Crai
 g Fleisher, Chief Learning Officer at Aurora WDC.\nThe second half of
  the hour will continue with questions from the online audience and th
 oughts on what the future holds for helping business leaders make more
