What type of resources do you rely on?

When you are planning and developing strategies for your business, what types of resources do you use to scan the industry, competion and new trends - rather for you or your clients?

Re: What type of resources do you rely on?

I use a lot of the governments resources. It is amazing how many different resources that are out there but they are often difficult to find. Sometimes it takes years to develop a good list of relevant sites.

Re: What type of resources do you rely on?

We like to look at analyst reports and company presentations of public companies although we are a lot smaller we can look at some of the movements of the larger companies and the industry as a whole. It is amazing how much information you can get on public companies the 10k report is a wealth of information

We look at 10k reports and annual reports. Also in any industry there is an association which represents it and they generally have some good resources available.

I think one of the best things you can do besides scanning your industry is look at some of the details of the winners of the Malcolm Baldridge award they provide you insight into some of the best companies
