Understand Your Competitors' Strategies

Identify What Differentiates You

Having clarity on the competitive landscape allows you to spot white spaces that your business can own. You can build a rational view of how you can differentiate in a crowded market.

Understand Threats and Areas of Weakness

Risks and blind spots are missed when we fail to look at the competitive landscape. The best strategies can be doomed to fail without building an external view.
