(English) In today’s less predictable business environment it is more important than ever for companies to remain vigilant of market changes.

Don’t forget to add into the mix fluid geopolitics, evolving regulatory regimes and new customer preferences. It’s clear that today’s senior management teams need their research departments to dig through mountains of information to produce the type of insight needed to craft winning business strategies.
