Organisations must be able to challenge themselves on existing policies, processes, organisational structures, and cultures. Old ways, and potentially obsolete thinking must make room for novel narratives, new relationships, and a willingness to detect opportunities previously thought to be “outside the wheelhouse”.
To know your own strengths and weaknesses is key for the long-term success of any business. However, it is equally important to understand and know your competition. The ability to analyse, assess and react to what your competitors are doing is crucial when the pace of disruption and rapid technological advance is at an all-time high.
Black Hat Reviews are workshops designed to produce competitive assessments of the state of the competition. Based on accurately identified competitive intelligence, Black Hat reviews aim to capture what is known about the competition and translate this into action items and tasks. Utilising quantitative assessment methodologies will help you look at the competition objectively, allowing you to positively impact your proposal strategies and enhance your win themes. Instead of guessing what the next steps should be, a clear strategic roadmap will emerge helping you address crucial needs and requirements.
Cytec will organise and tailor-make strategic workshops and Black Hat reviews for your specific needs. We will guide and facilitate your team through the process of addressing any pivotal issue at hand. Our team has a track record of successfully conducting workshops in different settings – often the most productive outcomes emerge in environments not usually frequented by the attendees. We will help you choose the optimal setting, location and agenda customised for your company’s needs and targets.
