Regardless of the industry where you compete, data-driven insights will help you drive customer loyalty, win new business and gain market share. However, to really understand the competitive landscape, you’ll need competitive intelligence to gain a holistic view of what’s happening in the marketplace. Your strategic plan is your roadmap to sustainable growth. Without one, your competitors will uncover and capitalize on opportunities faster. But with one, you can effectively model scenarios, solve customer pain points and find the angle that will separate your business from the pack.

Proactive Worldwide helps established businesses evaluate the competitive marketplace to uncover hidden opportunities and plan a path forward. Our customer-centric strategic planning services will help you determine how, who and where to compete. With Proactive Worldwide, you can transform and energize your organization sooner — and that means you can look forward to a stronger return on investment later.

Effective Strategic Planning

Proactive Worldwide puts the voice of your customer at the heart of your strategic plan. We believe effective strategic planning requires three key inputs:

1. Customer needs and wants. Our research can help you validate suspected customer trends and unearth new ones, providing a clear answer to the question, what does your customer need that they can’t currently get?
2. Competitor strategy. Proactive Worldwide will thoughtfully analyze your competition. What are they doing that’s working — and what isn’t? How can your business capitalize?
3. Market intelligence. Identify areas of opportunity and right-size your market with Proactive Worldwide. What areas of opportunity exist? Are those opportunities changing?

The Strategic Planning Process and Deliverables

Proactive Worldwide will deliver a detailed report to your business that succinctly summarizes the project scope and its conclusions in a format suitable for presentation to senior management. At a top level, the process incorporates:

• Analytic expertise. We don’t just gather data — we unearth findings and analyze them carefully to highlight trends.
• Small-batch research. Instead of relying on call centers staffed by underqualified employees, Proactive Worldwide employs highly-educated researchers with years of relevant experience.
