Our Mission – Provide a world-class market intelligence experiential program and community that enables more effective understanding and engagement between public and private sectors.
Members and Program - A cohort and members-based program to learn key market intelligence principles, apply those principles to a key national priority project and build community that creates a tipping point for change.
3 key elements to the program, which we will be discussing at our events in detail:
- Knowledge and Learning - Circle Fellows come together to get regular dosage of best practice learning on market intelligence and market engagement, from experts and academics encompassing public and private institutions. Topics include market intelligence best practices, tech forecasting, understanding business models and more.
- Research and Insights - Fellows select a prominent national level project where they can apply their skills and accelerate public/private engagement. The results are presented to senior decision makers and published in well-respected journals. The first project is focused on 10 companies that will be engaged by the cohort…more to come!
- Relationships and Community - Fellows engage with the community and build networks, with the goal of creating a tipping point for accelerated change. Register for the Roundtables and events here!
