Intelligence
AGI | New York | USA
Knowledge has the potential to be equated to power. The concept of collecting and utilizing information to support decision-making in a formal, structured way is nothing new. In order to obtain an advantage over adversaries and competitors, it is imperative to possess the most up-to-date, accurate, and reliable information regarding their plans, intentions, and capabilities.
This rule applies to every field, be it politics, business, social settings, or military strategy. Knowledge and its acquisition has always been, and still is, continually developing and evolving.
ADRIDEN Global has been CONNECTING THE DOTS for 35+ years
At ADRIDEN Global, our 35 years of experience gathering knowledge and connecting the dots sets us apart from the competition. Our client-centric use of tailored information platforms, social media feeds, dedicated in-country publications, and other knowledge sources furthers our clients’ ability to navigate changing times.
Our trusted global affiliates help steer clients through business, political, and socio-economic matters of a particular region or country on a daily basis. Collecting and analyzing “ground-truth” intelligence in an ethical and legal manner has enabled our clients to replace guesswork and assumptions with timely, actionable, and reality-based facts that connect the dots.
Successful organizations utilize integrated all-source intelligence to inform and shape future strategies for continued intelligence collection to see and anticipate their competition. Without continued diligence, it is not possible to “connect the dots.”
While the successful collection of intelligence cannot ensure a quality analytical product, failure to collect any intelligence turns analysis into guesswork. Our intelligence capabilities improve our clients’ situational awareness and enable them to make proactive decisions based on “ground-truth” intelligence.
COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE (CI)
Competitive Intelligence (CI), sometimes referred to as corporate intelligence, refers to the ability to gather, analyze, and use information collected on competitors, customers, and other market factors that contribute to a business’s competitive advantage. CI is vital, as it helps businesses understand their competitive environment and the opportunities and challenges it presents. Businesses analyze CI to create effective and efficient business practices, including proper utilization of human capital.
ADRIDEN Global’s CI efforts are based on assembling actionable intelligence from diverse published and unpublished sources collected efficiently and ethically. We help cultivate a detailed portrait of the marketplace and region so that you can anticipate, prepare, and respond to challenges before they arise. Based on a partnership with you, our tailored CI will include a deep dive exercise, where we unearth the finer points of a marketplace, competitors’ intentions, plans, and affiliations.
A true CI posture may be viewed through “tactical” or “strategic” viewpoints. Tactical CI can be seen as a short-term need that seeks to clarify immediate issues. Strategic CI can be viewed as long-term goals such as key risks for business expansion. A strategic CI approach allowed one of our clients to make sense of a complex and unstable operating environment they faced in the Middle East to secure their market position.
DUE DILIGENCE (DD)
Our Due Diligence (DD) efforts help you make informed transactional decisions and confident human capital choices. As there is risk in every opportunity, whether in the U.S. or internationally, our DD efforts identify potential risks and the resources that can help mitigate those risks. We provide valuable insight into individuals who will be directly responsible for the future of your business. Such DD efforts have focused on in-country factors, political stability, currency convertibility, economic and legal stability, intellectual property, and trademark protections, as well as other issues of concern when entering a new market.
