Webinar, Training and Consulting Capabilities

Helicon is internationally known for its high-quality consulting and training. Over the past decade, Helicon's partners have taken on consulting assignments and conducted training sessions, public and private, in over a dozen countries. As one example, John McGonagle, Helicon's Managing Partner, has been recognized by the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals as "one of the highest ranking speakers" at its annual conferences.

Helicon now provides onsite consulting and training, including webinars, specifically designed for your company, your staff and your competitive environment. This is not just a pre-canned public workshop moved to your office. These assignments, conducted only after we enter into a confidentiality agreement, take into account what you do, who you compete with, and what competitive threats you face. Consulting and training are available on all aspects of competitive intelligence, strategic intelligence and benchmarking.

Helicon now offers enhanced services that allow it to provide significantly improved training and consulting services. Helicon is now supported by state-of the-art web conferencing technology provided by Microsoft that provides Helicon and its Clients with easy-to-use online conferencing solutions that will connect our Client’s personnel, located anywhere in the world, with Helicon’s training and consulting sessions, seamlessly, and in a real-time conferencing environment.
