Globinar Strategic Benchmarking: AI Tools and Tips

Disruptive Technology Roadmap Series

Global Chamber® is pleased to partner with MyFinB on this series of four, 1-hour globinars on Fridays in June (and July 10th) to provide companies the ABC's of AI in order to scale, grow and succeed... with case studies.

For Episode 4 on July 10th, register HERE and zoom in.

For this sessioin on July 10th, we're focusing on using AI for strategic benchmarking. As a company attempts to pivot or restructure during Covid times or pursue a fund raising round with investors, benchmarking against peers and industry groups becomes key. Benchmarking helps businesses to stay ahead in the competitive market with proper insights into the on-going market trends, latest transactions and how other companies are doing... all a key part of strategic planning.

When you perform financial benchmarking against your competitors, it allows you to devise a robust strategy and set realistic performance goals for your company to "beat the market". When dealing with financiers, this can be deployed as a leveraging strategy in your negotiations or a form of justification to support the value of your business. This process essentially helps you to identify your position in the market and strengths of your business.

It's part of the Global Chamber® Disruptive Technology Roadmap Series.
