naglowek-duzy\" id=\"section3\" style=\"margin-bottom:40px;font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.68), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.02em;line-height:1.2\">How to work with KanBo as a Competitive intelligence (CI) tool<\/h3><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">---<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: Create a Dedicated Workspace for Competitive Intelligence (CI)<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: Centralizes all information and activities related to competitive intelligence in a single, accessible location.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: Streamlines CI efforts by keeping related projects and research within a focused area, enhancing collaboration and data sharing among team members.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">---<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: Set Up Folders for Different Intelligence Categories<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: Organizes competitive intelligence into specific areas such as Market Analysis, Competitor Profiles, Industry Trends, etc.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: This structure helps in maintaining a systematic approach to data collection and makes it easier to retrieve information based on specific intelligence needs.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">---<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Create Spaces for Various Projects or Topics<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: Breaks down the CI efforts into manageable sections, each focused on a discrete project or subject matter within competitive intelligence.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: Allows customization of workflow for different types of intelligence gathering (e.g., one space for tracking competitor product launches and another for regulatory changes).<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">---<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Add Cards for Individual Tasks and Research Items<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: Captures actionable items and research needs such as data collection, analysis, stakeholder interviews, etc.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: Cards facilitate the delegation of tasks, tracking progress, and ensure every team member knows what they're responsible for and can see the status of other related tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">---<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 5: Populate Card Details with Research Findings<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: Records the specifics of each task or research finding, such as sources, data points, and expert insights.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: Provides context and depth to each item of intelligence, ensuring that all team members can understand the significance and use the data appropriately.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">---<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 6: Utilize Activity Streams for Real-Time Updates<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: Keeps track of
