  • How data analysis can help answer the big strategic questions that many companies struggle with.
  • Why your marketing and sales data are the best sources for information and insight to improve a company’s overall strategy.
  • The three performance characteristics that are the most telling and indicative of strategic advantage and potential.
  • How to use analytics to identify your company's real strategic "sweet spot" within the overall marketplace.
