TFPL recognises many disciplines at work in the transformation of data
into information, information into knowledge, knowledge
into insight and foresight, and analysis into solutions and confident
decision making. This means strategy for longer term goals, and tactics
for smart working.
We recognise these discrete communities of practice, and have clients
and talent pools aligned with them:
- Strategy: Analysts and Consultants
in mergers and acquisitions, corporate development with policy, leadership
and innovation.
This group consists of specialists working at board level (or equivalent),
or as practitioners within in consulting firms, specialising in strategy,
development and implementation. These provide the due diligence and
advice behind the uptake of new ideas and new partnerships. Skills combine
research with financial analysis, technology assessment, and macro-economic
analyses.
- Competitive & Market Intelligence:
CI practitioners, Sales/Market Analysts, Technical and Commercial due
diligence experts, Research & Development (R&D) monitoring.
This group typically focus on sales and commercial support for acquisition,
products and services and innovation – the development of new channels
to market. TFPL supplier specialists to corporate organisations and
specialist CI service and solutions advisory firms.
- Client & Customer Insight: Management
Information Specialists; Operational Research, Performance analysis
and primary research with thought leadership.
This group has a focus on trends and customer behaviour, benchmarking,
market sizing and the pace of change. Here skills combine hard data
with anecdotal evidence to be able to interpret market movements and
shifts in the motivation and procurement patterns of clients. TFPL supplies
practitioners to organisations, to research agencies and content providers.
