Before revealing one (however, widely known) secret about maximizing the effectiveness of intelligence, it is necessary to take a closer look at those who actually do or will do commercial intelligence in a company?
It is about the basic skills and knowledge that your future employees
and specialists should have. You will have to create and organize the work of
an almost complete intelligence unit. Moreover, your team will eventually
master the knowledge of the intelligence specialty, except for those methods and
techniques that are not used in commercial intelligence, based on its
specifics.
From our practical guide, you already know that reasonable care and
caution should be exercised when selecting a commercial intelligence team. (The
principles of selecting and building an exploration team are covered in Part Two of our guide.)
