Competitor Identification
Competitor identification is the profitable practice of looking beyond your known rivals to map the full competitive universe in which you operate. In today’s dynamic market, your most significant future threat may not be your current main competitor, but rather an agile startup, a company in an adjacent industry, or a technology giant preparing to enter your space.
