Horizon Scanning

Identifying the drivers of change that may impact your business requires the processing of large amounts of information sources such as media, authorities, academic institutions, industry organisations and many more. Once identified, these sources produce millions of data records that need to be monitored, organised in clusters by topics or domains, linked to each other and then interpreted.

One way to stay on top of all of this is by having a system actively performing this work for you and notifying you when new information is detected.

How this works in practice:

• Create a dedicated search query based on your areas of interest. These can focus on specific regulatory topics such as  Front of Pack (FOP) labelling or specific types of Novel food such as Acacia
  
  
• Once the search is defined, have the system guide you on the setup of key parameters for your new data ‘feed’. These could be new, in effect regulations, policy news signals or scientific publications
  
  
• Determine your notification preference. You can receive daily, weekly or monthly notifications. You can also be notified when a certain threshold of events occur

Once these easy steps are performed you will be able to identify which changes are likely to be important and make sense of how these changes may affect your business.

With SGS DIGICOMPLY you can accelerate this process, capture more signals and extend the intelligence that your business requires to stay ahead of the competition.
