This course’s objective is to provide to analysts, managers
and executives who now have to work remotely to master the
toolkits that allow them to be more efficient when doing
online research. This course is particularly adapted for
companies who have employees currently working from home to
allow them to learn and be trained in the skills they’ll
need for the future. It will also allow them to identify
sources of information that answer their information needs,
from research to business development or marketing. Join now
for this digital attendance course to learn about the
techniques and sources which are part of the “Invisible
Web”:information that is not yet indexed by search engines
(about 70% of the total information about people,
technologies and companies), and about the informal web:
tracking customer perception, competitors’ employees in
informal and social networks. Particular emphasis is put on
methods to find information about private companies (their
alliance partners, marketing strategies, client lists,
distribution networks, financial status, management bios,
etc…). This course is fully interactive and is led by a
professor in synchronous mode to allow participants to ask
questions and get a personal coaching. Reserve your seat now
as attendance is limited to 15 participants per session.

wrongly rejecting potential growth avenues and hence
limiting growth opportunities.* The objective of this
training session is to introduce to the participants tools
and methodologies to identify and prevent strategic
blindspots, and unlock future opportunities for growth. The
