From the supplier: An effective competitive intelligence strategy requires three essential activities. The first of these is the collection of competitive information. Possible sources include current competitors, public records, the media, community organizations, referrals, prospects, customer-advisory councils and customers. People who may be involved in the collection are sales and business development staff, sales managers, directors, officers, new account personnel, tellers, customer services representatives and the marketing department. The second activity is the dissemination of the gathered information. Channels that may be used for sharing are bank departments, bank branches, bank regions, sales meetings and briefings/debriefings. The last activity is the application of competitive intelligence. Information may be used to generate action, guide product development, determine market focus and plan long-term strategies.
