About AWARE
Competitive & Marketing Intelligence
Public Training
AWARE's focus is on offering courses where all the content is directly relevant to particpants. This is achieved through our in-house training options.
Sometimes, however, customised training is not suitable - for instance where only one or two people need to learn about competitive intelligence. Quality training depends on group interactions, and working alongside others. In-house training won't be the best option if there is no group. Our one-to-one mentoring services is one solution. Another is public training - bringing together people from several companies.
In order to offer public training we work with both conference and training organisers and dedicated competitive intelligence training companies and industry groups. We have led courses and spoken at conferences organised by Frost & Sullivan, Marcus Evans, Kavaq and VIB Events. We also have led several workshops and conference sessions at SCIP Annual and European conferences as well as at local SCIP chapter meetings.
A more in-depth option is the Institute for Competitive Intelligence with courses covering all aspects of competitive intelligence training, leading to full certification and accreditation as a competitive intelligence professional.

Finding Competitive Intelligence using Online Sources
AWARE consultants are experts at discovering competitor information online and have developed a market-leading course on Finding Competitive Intelligence using Online Sources. This course has been given as an in-house course to numerous companies across industries (IT, publishing, telecoms, chemicals....) and countries, as well as publicly at SCIP annual and European conferences, the London International Online Information Conferences and other similar events.
The workshop has received high praise for its unique approach to finding competitive intelligence on the Internet. The workshop - available as a half-day summary, full day or 2-day in-depth training course with extensive practical online sessions - teaches attendees how to find actionable competitive intelligence rather than just present a list of sources that quickly date. Like all AWARE's in-house training, the course can be customised to focus on industry or competitive area.
For more information on this workshop and how it can help you become a more effective Internet researcher check out our Competitive Intelligence Training and ask us about our courses on finding CI information.

Quick Tip: Entrance
Quick Tip
Robert Smith was devastated.
As the owner of a small retail business selling various groceries he had always recognised the threat posed by major supermarket chains such as Tesco, Walmart, Carrefour and the like. Now a branch of Tesco had opened next door, and business was tailing off.
He told all his friends how worried he was - and that things couldn't possibly be worse. And then a branch of Walmart opened on the other side. Robert now told friends that he expected to be out of business within the year.
His friends were really surprised when they met him a few months later - getting out of a top-range Mercedes wearing an expensive suit and with a big smile on his face.
We thought business was so bad that you were about to go bankrupt. What happened?
Robert replied: Well that is what I thought. And then I remembered that one secret to effective marketing is to make sure that your potential customers know where to find you. So I changed the name of my company. Come and look!"
Robert's friends followed him to his shop, sandwiched between Tesco and Walmart. Over the front, the new name was posted in big neon letters ENTRANCE
How do you promote your business? Can potential customers find you? Do your marketing promotions send people away, or invite them to come and buy. You need to ensure that all your marketing promotions allow customers to enter.
