Congratulations on having decided to select this hands-on read based on tested and proven competitive intelligence (CI) practices, CI pitfalls to avoid, tested and proven methods to elevate the CI function's visibility and impact in an organization, and effective techniques to keep the CI organization valued and growing. Kudos to Harshal for not only creating a CI reference guide on how to achieve maximum impact from various CI activities, but also for presenting these tools in his usual entertaining, thought provoking style.

from a Foreword by Baljit Singh, PhD
Managing Director & Partner — INOVIS

I first met Harsh back in 2002/2003 ... even from those early days, there was something about him. He had a unique ability to interact, understand and connect with not only undergrads but also with PhDs, Post Docs and Professors. Moreover, he had the ability to comprehend complex areas outside his studies and always asked the right questions. It is some of those skills, combined with a Ph.D. in pharmaceutics and learnings from various roles in the CI industry (Agencies and Pharma) — working with large, medium and small Pharma and Biotech companies — that makes Harsh the right person to put together this highly useful and applicable piece of work around competitive strategy.
