Benchmarking Pharma Competitive Intelligence (CI) Data Collection Strategies

This benchmarking study was conducted to understand how U.S. pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations can optimize their CI operations while working within defined guidelines. The research examined a number of areas, including CI information sources and what is being collected. In addition, the study looked at how CI groups work with legal groups to develop standard operating procedures for data collection that are in the best interests of the organization as a whole and to maximize the CI department’s ability to deliver results. Managers and executives in CI and CI-related groups can use this report to compare critical elements of their operations with those of leading firms.
