Jorn Lyseggen, author of Outside Insight, helps you stay one step ahead of your competitors. Like us, Lyseggen understands the value of data. His book covers the shift in business from a focus solely on internal data toward analyses of industry-wide, external data.
All the valuable, underutilized information companies and people leave behind on the internet is the external data Lyseggen talks about. It's our “digital breadcrumbs”⸺from job postings, to online news, social media, online ad spend and more.
Essentially, external data takes you from a 30,000ft-view of your practice to a 30,000ft-view of your industry.
With that view, you can better see your practice's opportunities and threats. You see, just like with your internal practice data, you can glean powerful insights from your external data.
"Outside insights" allow you to make strategic, forward-thinking decisions.
