In North America, the UK and much of Europe, it's back-to-school season, so let's kick off September with a quiz:

Which of the following can Jinfo's benchmarking research help you do?

a) Compare your operation with others in your industry, of similar size and in organisations with similar headcount

b) Understand the pros and cons of different service configurations

c) Create an organisational map of other places information expertise may sit

d) Gauge your team's capacity compared with your peer group(s).

Trick question! The answer is: all of the above!

To get started, request your free copy of the Insights and Actions report, then:

Coming up in Jinfo

As a lifelong learner, I feel re-energised when our Northern Hemisphere weather starts to cool. I start to plan projects, get excited about new research and map out milestones for the next nine months. Here's what we have in store:

• "Intelligence systems: beyond awareness to action": October-December
• "The accidental technologist: where your expertise meets the new world": January-March
• "Becoming a Centre of Excellence": April-June

And throughout it all, we're developing product reviews, market landscapes, panel discussions and new Jinfo models. It's a lot, but we're here to help you get YOUR value from your Subscription. May I suggest you start with a walkthrough of the service? You don't need to have a current Subscription to join.
