In order to survive in today's competitive marketplace, organizations are realizing that they must pursue additional ways to generate revenue.  What these organizations don't realize is that the opportunity is right at their fingertips -- their own data and knowledge assets.

For example, how many times have you heard that a organization's most valuable asset is their data - there is a great deal of truth in that statement.  Think of the plethora of data your organization has gathered whether it relates to your customers including specific demographics and target markets; your products and how they are marketed and perceived in the market; or the data that your team has gathered related to the competition.  Few organizations fully leverage their data or knowledge assets.  Think of the possibilities if your organization was able to fully leverage your existing data and knowledge assets.  Possibilities would include the ability to:

• Create and market information-based products; 
• Identify new information-based products;
• Repurpose existing information for new buying centers;
• Turn custom, single-sale projects into subscription-based products; and  
• Add value by moving from selling measurement data to research or advisory services.
