"A big thanks for a wonderful workshop. It was great to get new insights/approaches into the world of competitive intelligence and certainly will reinvigorate me to ensure that the outcomes from analysis are incorporated into our strategy.

Thanks for a great couple of days ..... the best workshop I have been on for years".

"MindShifts assisted us in the design and research of a five country study in South East Asia. Prior to commencing the project they conducted a Competitive Intelligence (CI) workshop for a group of 40 people from the region. This was an excellent learning exercise and the team demonstrated a greater understanding of CI following the workshop. The five country study was completed in record time and contacts on the ground in the different countries proved to be invaluable. In particular, China and India, which are growing at such a rapid rate, proved to be very interesting in their results and have led us to reconsider our strategy going forward.

A worthwhile experience and all organisations should be much more savvy and aware of the value of CI in the future, particularly when you work with an organisation such as MindShifts who are reliable and punctual in their commitment to deadlines."

"In Caterpillar's experience, MindShifts bring to the table a complete arsenal of skills in competitive intelligence, strategic analysis and strategy impact assessment. These 'hard skills' are complemented by the professionalism, resourcefulness and client empathy demonstrated by their consultants.

MindShifts are instrumental in identifying inherent weaknesses brought about over time through corporate complacency, myths and straight out sacred cows. They pull no punches in highlighting the potential effect of these weaknesses, and in so doing, challenge the status quo in strategy formulation."
