Competitive intelligence

• Perform market scanning (i.e. sensing market developments and shifts, assessing competitive signals and strategic indicators to assess competitors’ moves and investments) and proactively develop competitive intelligence products and services 

Training and knowledge sharing 

• Deliver training sessions and contribute to AI capability-building initiatives across the business, helping teams enhance their AI, research and insight skills.
