Competitive Intelligence, or CI, is a phrase that is often misunderstood and sometimes misrepresented. Pharma marketing professionals and others in the pharmaceutical business owe it to themselves and their stakeholders to obtain truly insightful and actionable competitive intelligence. It is therefore helpful to understand both what pharma CI is not, and what qualifies as true competitive intelligence.
Competitive Intelligence, or CI, is not mysterious
There is nothing mysterious about pharma CI. Rather, CI is based on factual, valuable information gathered from trusted industry sources, and analyzed by highly competent and insightful pharmaceutical industry professionals.
Competitive Intelligence is not Google/search engine research, espionage, or pharma market research
While pharma market research may provide valuable information, it is not CI. Although exhaustive research may include price analysis, SWOT analysis, location analysis reports, brand valuations, web survey analysis, trend analysis, and more, such research does not qualify as pharma CI or true corporate intelligence.
The Two Labs definition of pharma CI (competitive intelligence), which we apply to every pharmaceutical and biotechnology CI consulting engagement, is as follows:
“Competitive Intelligence for the pharma and biotech industry is a systematic process for the legal and ethical collection, objective analysis, and controlled dissemination of actionable intelligence to decision-makers about their competitors’ objectives, strategies, assumptions, and capabilities.” ~ Two Labs
Competitive intelligence and analysis, when properly executed, may provide invaluable information about your pharmaceutical and biotech competitors, including:

Information and process for creating corporate intelligence must be objective, external, disciplined, and real-time
Strategic Intelligence:
This type of pharma CI is concerned mainly with competitor analysis, and is very forward-thinking and predictive (future-focused). Examples include: R&D strategy, specific product strategy, business development strategy, etc.
Tactical Intelligence:
Generally operational and performed on a smaller scale; centered more on the here-and-now than on the future. Examples include: product differentiation, pricing policies, sales organization, etc.
Counter Intelligence:
Pharma CI focused on protecting company secrets.
