Jinfo Newsletter 443

24th March 2016

Robin NeidorfWe're transitioning from our winter Research Focus, on strategic alignment between information services and IT, to our spring Research Focus on source expertise.

Coming soon in "Source Expertise - What It Means in a Google World":

If you're fighting the pressure of "I don't have time", register today for one or more of these sessions. Each is an hour or less, at your desk. Carving out time for strategic thinking doesn't get any easier.

Meanwhile, in "Strategic Alignment of IS and IT":

  • Case studies from LORD Corporation and Cargill describe environments in which mutual respect between source expertise and technology expertise drive enhanced value

  • Our most recent webinar (recording available) emphasises how to put your research skills to work to better understand and collaborate with your IT colleagues

  • And watch for our original research on the state of IS/IT alignment, which illustrates the importance you place on aligning IS and IT expertise to achieve business goals.

The "Sources-Technology-Value" System in Action

As we transition from one Research Focus to another, I'm always struck by how important it is that Sources, Technology and Value work together as a system.

If your organisation still puts each in a silo relatively separate from the others, a Jinfo Subscription helps you demonstrate how that lack of cohesion creates risk.

You can join our webinars, explore our articles and download our reports to get the tools and perspective you need to move towards a united approach.

If you're not yet a customer, perhaps it's time to start transitioning too.

Director of Research

Latest Product Reviews:

  • Product Review of Euromonitor Competitor AnalyticsProduct Review of Euromonitor Competitor Analytics on 23rd March.
    Our review of Euromonitor's Competitor Analytics highlights how the tool goes beyond simply providing industry data to providing a company-centric view of the FMCG universe using cross-standardised data from industries in Euromonitor's global research database, Passport. The type of interrelated industry data and many ways to filter the data makes Competitor Analytics hard to match.
