What is the history of GIA’s office in South Africa?
Global Intelligence Alliance’s (GIA) representation in South Africa began in 2007 through a collaboration with Stuart Maclachlan from GIA Member, Butterfly Effect Intelligence (BEI). Market and Competitive Intelligence are relatively new fields in South Africa. BEI was launched after identifying a need for market and competitive intelligence specialists who help clients understand their market environments and competitive landscapes in order to drive growth in South Africa. Today, BEI is the only market and competitive intelligence company in South Africa with a global network.
