Competitive Strength Report

Easy to commission

To take advantage of our special Internet purchase price simply click on purchase, enter your name and the name of your business and select your preferred method of payment (credit card, electronic bank transfer or purchase order).

Commissioning takes only a few minutes... More


Two to eight contributors

Your CSR is generated from contributions provided by the Chief Officer of the purchasing organisation (or division of it) and between 1 and 7 directors or senior managers. This group may also include advisors, strategic partners (suppliers and distributors), or others who have a whole organisation overview and a stake or responsibility for the performance of the whole organisation... More


Quick to complete

Contributors are sent the address of our secure website and their personal access codes. This site can only be entered via a password and PIN. Your contributors are invited to respond to 2 questionnaires. The first questionnaire asks them to assess 12 topics that define your organisation's competitive strength.

The second focuses them on the Abyss - the crevasse that threatens to undermine every business. There are just 6 sections of the Abyss questionnaire.

Together, these questionnaires take only 30 - 40 minutes to complete... More


Available in days or even hours

When you commission your CSR you are invited to set the date for its issue. You may have a pressing deadline in which case your only consideration would be the availability of people to complete their contributions. You may need to take account of holidays, business travel or other priorities. If so, you might want to give your people more time.

Your CSR is generated immediately following the completion of the inputs.

The whole process can be completed in under 24 hours or be spread over a week or more... More


Delivered to your Inbox

Your CSR is sent to you as PDF file.

You can have it sent to all the contributors or just to the Chief Officer.


Supported by a 1 hour debrief for the Chief Officer

Once you have your report, we will arrange a 1-hour tele or video conference call (at our expense) between you and a member of our support team. During this session we will explore key issues and opportunities.

We will be pleased to answer your questions and help you make the relevant connections between your competitive strength assessments and those issues within the Abyss with the potential to have a High or Very High impact on your competitive strength.

This session will help you gain maximum value from your CSR.


Complete with a guide to getting the best from your CSR

All our early adopters said they gained huge value from their meetings to discuss their CSR. Your CSR will include four pre- meeting preparation templates to help your contributors connect with the key issues and put forward their points of view prior to your decisions to act on improving your competitive advantage.

You will also receive a suggested meetings structure and comprehensive guide to getting the best from your CSR. This guide will take you step by step through all the results data. It will also give you a process for identifying key issues and deciding what you need to do to maximise your competitive advantage.


Confidentiality is assured

All responses to the questionnaires are held in secure files. Your report is archived as soon as it has been issued. It is only seen by the people you nominate and the member of our support team assigned to join you in the 1-hour tele or video conference. Your data will not be passed to any other organisation for any purpose.

We will only include your business name in our client list when we have your express permission to do so. You will not receive unsolicited calls from other vendors trying to sell you additional products or services.

We are committed to keeping your data safe.
