The Client
A global resort operator with presence across five continents and operations in twelve countries spanning EMEA, APAC, and Americas regions. Despite strong operational excellence and brand recognition, the organization lacked systematic capabilities to track strategic developments across the rapidly evolving hospitality sector. Leadership was making critical expansion, partnership, and positioning decisions without comprehensive competitive context.
The Challenge: Strategic Blind Spots in a Fast-Moving Industry
A CEO-sponsored initiative to build enterprise-wide market intelligence capabilities revealed significant organizational gaps. The hospitality sector was evolving rapidly—competitors launching new experience concepts, forming strategic partnerships, expanding into emerging markets, adopting new technologies. The client's leadership team was learning about these developments weeks or months after they occurred, often through generic industry reports that every competitor could access simultaneously.
They were operating blind. Competitors would announce major partnerships or market entries, and their first question was always 'when did they start working on this?' By the time they learned about strategic moves, they were already executed. They were reacting to yesterday's news while competitors were making tomorrow's moves.
Four critical gaps demanded immediate resolution. First, no systematic monitoring existed for competitor moves, partnerships, or geographic expansion—leadership relied on ad-hoc information gathering that missed critical developments. Second, the strategy team would spend hours, weekly, manually gathering competitor intelligence, consuming resources better spent on analysis and strategic planning. Third, intelligence sources were fragmented across disconnected trade publication subscriptions with no synthesis or strategic context. Fourth, traditional research vendors required long-term annual commitments with no flexibility to adjust as strategic priorities evolved.
The Hermes Intelligence Solution: Phased Intelligence Infrastructure Deployment
We designed a phased deployment model that de-risked the investment while building sophisticated intelligence infrastructure aligned with the client's strategic priorities. Rather than proposing a comprehensive solution requiring large upfront commitment, we began with a one-month working pilot delivering actual intelligence, then scaled systematically based on demonstrated value.
Discovery and Co-Design Process: Strategic Alignment First
We spent the first week mapping intelligence requirements directly to the CEO's strategic decision-making needs. What questions was leadership asking that existing intelligence couldn't answer? What market developments would change strategic direction if known earlier? What competitor moves would trigger defensive or offensive responses?
This process identified six core intelligence domains requiring systematic monitoring. Competitor monitoring tracking Accor, Hilton, and fifteen-plus direct competitors across all markets. Strategic partnerships monitoring joint ventures, alliances, and collaborations that could reshape competitive dynamics. Investor activity tracking new hospitality funds, startup investments, and M&A signals indicating market confidence and capital flows. Geographic expansion monitoring new market entries and location opportunities revealing competitor growth strategies. Regulatory landscape tracking ESG requirements, tourism regulations, and policy shifts affecting operational flexibility. Experience innovation monitoring new guest experiences, technology adoption, and service concepts that could differentiate or commoditize offerings.
Weeks two through four focused on source mapping and pilot design. We built a monitoring framework across thirty initial data sources carefully selected for relevance to the six intelligence domains. We established coverage for five priority geographic zones identified as strategically critical. We designed the weekly newsletter format collaboratively with senior management to ensure executive-ready presentation. We created an alert taxonomy for time-sensitive developments requiring immediate leadership awareness.
Real-Time Monitoring Infrastructure: Multi-Language Source Tracking
We deployed monitoring infrastructure tracking sources across seven languages—English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and German. The system monitors trade publications where industry news breaks first, competitor websites and corporate communications revealing strategic announcements, regulatory filings showing compliance activities and expansion permissions, investor reports and conference presentations revealing capital allocation and growth priorities, social platforms and industry forums where early signals of market sentiment emerge, and local market news in regional languages that international publications miss.
Automated entity extraction and competitive tagging ensure every mention of tracked competitors, markets, or strategic topics gets captured and categorized. When a competitor announces a partnership in a regional French publication, when regulatory changes are proposed in Japanese government documents, when investor presentations reveal expansion priorities—the system captures it all regardless of language or source obscurity.
AI-Enhanced Analysis: Signal Filtering and Pattern Recognition
Our AI models filter noise and surface strategic developments that actually matter for decision-making. The system performs sentiment analysis on competitor positioning and market reception, identifying whether new initiatives are being well-received or facing challenges. Pattern recognition across geographic markets and experience categories reveals trends that might appear isolated when viewed individually but represent significant shifts when aggregated. Source quality scoring continuously optimizes the monitoring portfolio, identifying which sources consistently deliver valuable intelligence and which generate more noise than signal.
The AI doesn't replace human judgment—it amplifies it. By handling the volume processing, pattern detection, and initial filtering, the system enables human analysts to focus on strategic interpretation and implication analysis rather than information gathering.
Strategic Synthesis: Executive-Ready Intelligence Delivery
Every piece of intelligence goes through human analyst review and contextualization. Our hospitality agentic operators add strategic context that AI cannot provide—understanding why a partnership matters, what a market entry signals about competitor strategy, how an innovation fits into broader industry evolution. Implications analysis gets tailored specifically to the client's strategic positioning, answering the critical question: what does this development mean for our strategy?
Actionable recommendations tie intelligence to decision-making calendars. If quarterly strategy reviews are approaching, intelligence synthesis highlights developments relevant to those discussions. If expansion decisions are pending, competitive intelligence on similar market entries gets prioritized. The intelligence serves the decision-making process rather than existing as disconnected information.
Core Deliverable: Weekly Strategic Newsletter
The primary intelligence product is a weekly strategic newsletter designed for executive consumption. Each edition includes a two-to-three page executive summary synthesizing the week's most strategic developments with clear implications for the client's positioning. A competitor activity dashboard organizes intelligence by key players, showing new offerings, partnerships, expansions, and CSR initiatives. Market trends and innovation section identifies emerging patterns, technology adoption, and industry shifts that could reshape competitive dynamics. Strategic implications section provides actionable insights relevant to the client's positioning and decision-making needs. Alert-worthy items flag time-sensitive developments requiring immediate attention. Source traceability includes direct links to original sources for deeper investigation when leadership wants additional detail.
The newsletter delivers in both English and French to serve the client's bilingual executive team. Distribution reaches senior management and regional strategy leads, ensuring intelligence flows to everyone making strategic decisions. Format includes both PDF report for offline reading and secure web portal access for interactive exploration.
Interactive Intelligence Portal: Searchable Strategic Archive
Beyond weekly newsletters, we provided access to Vextrum, an interactive intelligence portal serving as a searchable archive of all intelligence reports. Users can filter by competitor, geography, topic, and time period to research specific questions. Trend visualization and historical pattern analysis reveal how competitive dynamics have evolved over time. Custom alerting based on user-defined criteria ensures individuals receive notifications about developments most relevant to their responsibilities.
The portal transforms intelligence from a push-only weekly report into a strategic resource available on-demand whenever decisions require competitive context.
Critical Alert System: Real-Time Notifications for High-Impact Events
Some developments cannot wait for the weekly newsletter. Our critical alert system delivers real-time notifications for high-impact events—major competitor acquisitions, significant partnership announcements, regulatory changes affecting multiple markets, technology disruptions, or competitive moves directly threatening the client's strategic positioning.
Each alert includes exposure assessment showing which markets, properties, or strategic initiatives are affected. Immediate action recommendations provide initial guidance on potential responses. Delivery via email and mobile ensures key stakeholders receive alerts regardless of location or time zone.
Quarterly Deep-Dive Reports: Comprehensive Strategic Analysis
Every quarter, we deliver comprehensive analysis of specific strategic topics identified collaboratively with the client. These deep-dive reports provide competitive positioning assessment showing how the client compares across key dimensions, market opportunity identification revealing white space or emerging segments, and strategic recommendations aligned to executive planning cycles.
Topics are selected based on strategic priority—if the client is evaluating expansion into wellness experiences, the deep-dive analyzes competitor wellness strategies, market sizing, consumer trends, and partnership models. If sustainability is becoming a differentiation factor, the analysis examines competitor ESG initiatives, regulatory trajectories, and consumer expectations.
Flexibility and Control: Monthly Adjustable Scope
Unlike traditional research vendors requiring annual contracts with fixed scope, we provide monthly flexibility to adjust coverage. The client can add or remove sources based on performance and relevance. They can expand or contract geographic coverage based on strategic focus. They can adjust competitor tracking as the competitive landscape evolves. They can modify intelligence domains as priorities shift.
Source performance tracking identifies which sources consistently deliver valuable intelligence and which generate low-value information. Underperforming sources get eliminated without penalties, and cost savings get reinvested in higher-value coverage. When the client wanted to add Japan monitoring in month four to support expansion evaluation, we launched it within two weeks with no contract renegotiation or additional commitment required.
Pay-As-You-Go Commercial Model: Risk-Free Scaling
The client pays monthly based on actual coverage delivered, not locked into annual commitments based on projected needs. This alignment of costs with value received eliminates the fear of overpaying for intelligence that doesn't deliver. If strategic priorities shift and certain coverage becomes less relevant, the client can reduce scope and costs adjust accordingly. If new needs emerge, coverage expands without complex contract amendments.
Implementation: Phased Deployment from Pilot to Global Scale
Phase 1: One-Month Pilot (Month 1)
We began with a focused one-month pilot delivering actual intelligence rather than proposals or demonstrations. The onboarding process finalized detailed competitor lists and priority mapping, source selection and monitoring configuration, newsletter template design and approval, and intelligence portal access provisioning with secure login and user training.
Live intelligence delivery started immediately. Weekly strategic newsletters covered high-priority data sources across three priority markets. Interactive dashboard access provided full search and filtering capabilities. We implemented iterative refinement based on client feedback, adjusting source selection, refining analysis focus, and optimizing presentation format. Source quality assessment identified which sources delivered strategic intelligence versus noise.
At the end of month one, the client evaluated pilot output quality, source relevance, platform usability, and return on investment. The decision gate determined whether to continue, expand, or discontinue. The pilot had delivered actionable intelligence that influenced two strategic discussions and saved the strategy team an estimated twelve hours of manual research in a single month. The client committed to regional expansion.
Phase 2: Regional Expansion (Months 2-6)
Scope expanded to five geographic zones: France, Mediterranean, Caribbean, APAC, and North America. Source coverage increased from ten initial sources to thirty curated sources selected for regional relevance. We added the critical alert system for time-sensitive developments requiring immediate attention. Multilingual translation capabilities enabled monitoring in seven languages with delivery in English and French. Quarterly deep-dive reports provided comprehensive analysis on strategic topics identified collaboratively with leadership.
Portal enhancements included historical trend analysis showing competitive dynamics over time, custom alert configuration enabling users to define notification criteria, and mobile-optimized access for executives traveling frequently. User access extended to regional strategy leads, ensuring intelligence reached decision-makers in each market.
Phase 3: Global Scale (Months 7-12)
Scope reached twelve countries with comprehensive coverage across all strategic markets. Source portfolio scaled to forty-eight sources including specialized regional publications and industry-specific platforms. We added investor appetite tracking monitoring new hospitality funds, startup investments, and M&A signals. Enhanced regulatory monitoring covered key jurisdictions across all operating markets. Expanded experience innovation tracking focused on wellness, sustainability, and technology trends reshaping guest expectations.
Advanced portal capabilities included competitive comparison dashboards enabling side-by-side analysis of competitor strategies, export functionality for integration with internal strategic planning tools, and API integration allowing intelligence to flow into the client's existing systems. Enterprise access provisioned for the entire senior management team ensured organization-wide strategic alignment.
The Results: From Reactive Intelligence to Strategic Foresight
Intelligence Velocity: 48-Hour Event to Awareness
Before Hermes Intelligence, the client learned about strategic developments weeks or months after they occurred, often through generic industry reports published quarterly. After implementation, the average time from market event to senior management awareness dropped to forty-eight hours. Competitor announcements, regulatory changes, partnership formations, and market entries reach leadership while those developments are still fresh and response windows remain open.
The client reports zero missed opportunities due to delayed competitive intelligence since deployment. Every significant market development gets identified, analyzed, and communicated to decision-makers with sufficient lead time for strategic response.
Operational Efficiency: 15+ Hours Weekly Time Savings
The strategy team previously spent fifteen-plus hours weekly manually gathering competitor intelligence—searching trade publications, monitoring competitor websites, tracking news across markets, compiling findings into presentations. This manual research consumed time better spent on strategic analysis and recommendations.
With automated monitoring, AI-enhanced filtering, and synthesized delivery, the research workload shifted to Hermes Intelligence. The strategy team now receives ready-to-use intelligence requiring only strategic interpretation and action planning. Those fifteen-plus hours weekly now focus on analyzing implications, developing recommendations, and supporting executive decision-making.
Source Optimization: From 10 to 45 High-Value Sources
We started with ten sources during the pilot, validating coverage quality and relevance. As the programme scaled, we systematically added sources based on demonstrated value contribution. The portfolio grew to forty-five high-value sources spanning trade publications, corporate communications, regulatory filings, investor reports, and regional market news.
Critically, we eliminated twelve underperforming sources within the first six months. Sources that generated more noise than signal, that duplicated coverage available elsewhere, or that proved less relevant than anticipated got removed. The cost savings from eliminated sources were reinvested in higher-value coverage. The ninety-two percent source retention rate demonstrates the quality-focused approach—only the highest-performing sources remain in the portfolio.
Strategic Impact: Three Major Decisions Directly Informed
The intelligence programme directly influenced three major strategic decisions during the first twelve months. A geographic expansion into an emerging market was identified six months before competitors recognized the opportunity. Intelligence tracking regulatory changes, infrastructure development, and early competitor exploratory moves revealed the market was approaching the optimal entry window. The client's expansion preceded major competitor entries by five months.
A partnership opportunity with a sustainability-focused brand emerged through investor tracking capabilities. Our monitoring detected a specialized hospitality fund investing in sustainability-focused operators and making partnership introductions. The intelligence allowed the client to proactively approach the fund and initiate partnership discussions before the opportunity became widely known.
A competitive response to a rival's experience innovation initiative was executed with a two-week head start versus industry response times. When a major competitor launched a new wellness experience concept, our critical alert system notified leadership within hours. The strategic implications analysis identified which properties faced direct competitive pressure. The client activated defensive positioning and accelerated their own wellness initiative rollout while other competitors were still assessing the competitive move.
Cost Efficiency: Lower Annual Cost
Traditional research vendor proposals for comparable coverage quoted annual costs forty percent higher than the Hermes Intelligence programme. The pay-as-you-go model eliminated waste spend on underperforming sources that traditional vendors would have included in fixed annual packages. Monthly flexibility allowed cost optimization through continuous source portfolio refinement.
The client reports predictable monthly costs with the ability to adjust based on budget constraints if needed. The commercial model aligns cost with value delivered rather than vendor revenue targets.
Organizational Transformation: Before and After
Before Hermes Intelligence
The organization operated with reactive market positioning based on lagging industry reports sold to all competitors simultaneously. The strategy team was consumed by manual research activities, spending the majority of their time gathering information rather than analyzing implications and developing recommendations. Intelligence sources were fragmented across disconnected subscriptions with no synthesis or strategic context—critical insights were buried in information overload. Fear of long-term vendor commitments limited intelligence investments, creating a cycle where inadequate intelligence led to poor strategic visibility, but leadership was reluctant to commit resources to uncertain value.
After Hermes Intelligence
The organization now operates with proactive strategic positioning supported by real-time competitive awareness across all markets. The strategy team focuses on analysis and recommendations while research is automated through the intelligence infrastructure. Intelligence is centralized and synthesized with clear alignment to decision-making needs—leadership receives exactly the information required for pending decisions in formats optimized for executive consumption. Leadership has confidence to scale intelligence investment because the pay-as-you-go model provides flexibility to adjust as value is demonstrated or strategic priorities evolve.
Client Perspective
"The game-changer wasn't just the intelligence itself—it was the flexibility. We started conservatively, proved the value in the pilot, then scaled with confidence. Within six months, our CEO was asking 'what does Hermes say?' before major strategic decisions. The pay-as-you-go model meant we could test a specific country coverage for three months, validate it was delivering, then commit long-term. That's not possible with traditional research vendors."

The Full Capability Stack in Action
Multi-Language Monitoring and Translation
Hospitality is a global industry where strategic developments occur in local languages first. Our infrastructure monitors sources in seven languages actively—English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and German. Automated translation from fifty-plus languages to English and French ensures no intelligence is missed due to language barriers. Local market expertise provides cultural context and nuance that machine translation alone cannot capture.
Real-Time Event Monitoring Across Distributed Sources
Strategic intelligence requires monitoring diverse source types simultaneously. Our infrastructure tracks trade publications where industry news breaks, corporate websites and investor relations for official announcements, regulatory filings revealing compliance and expansion activities, social platforms and forums for early sentiment signals, and local market news that international publications miss. The system processes all sources continuously, extracting relevant intelligence regardless of where or when it appears.
AI-Enhanced Signal Filtering and Entity Extraction
Raw information feeds contain massive volumes of content, the vast majority irrelevant to any specific organization's strategic needs. Our AI models perform intelligent filtering, identifying which developments matter for this client's strategy and which represent noise. Automated entity extraction tags every mention of tracked competitors, markets, regulatory topics, or strategic themes. Sentiment analysis provides context on whether developments represent opportunities or threats. Pattern recognition reveals trends that might appear insignificant individually but represent meaningful shifts when aggregated.
Strategic Synthesis for Executive Consumption
AI handles volume processing and initial filtering. Human analysts provide strategic interpretation and executive-ready synthesis. Every intelligence report includes implications analysis specific to the client's positioning and decision-making needs. Recommendations are actionable and tied to pending strategic decisions. Presentation formats optimize for executive consumption—concise summaries, clear implications, direct access to source materials for deeper investigation when needed.
Interactive Intelligence Portal with Historical Analysis
The portal serves as a strategic resource beyond weekly newsletters. Full search and filtering capabilities enable research on specific questions. Historical trend analysis shows how competitive dynamics have evolved, revealing patterns and trajectories. Custom alert configuration ensures individuals receive notifications about developments relevant to their specific responsibilities. The portal transforms intelligence from periodic reporting into an always-available strategic asset.
Monthly Adjustable Scope and Source Optimization
Strategic priorities evolve. Competitive landscapes shift. Effective intelligence infrastructure must adapt continuously. Our monthly adjustable scope allows the client to add or remove sources, expand or contract geographic coverage, modify competitor tracking, and adjust intelligence domains without contract renegotiations or penalties. Source performance tracking identifies which sources deliver value and which generate noise, enabling continuous optimization of the monitoring portfolio.
Pay-As-You-Go Commercial Model with Volume Flexibility
The client pays for actual intelligence delivered, not projected needs or vendor revenue targets. Monthly billing provides complete cost predictability and transparency. Scope adjustments change costs proportionally—no hidden fees or penalties for changes. The commercial model aligns Hermes Intelligence incentives completely with client value realization rather than contract maximization.
What Made This Partnership Succeed
De-Risked Deployment Through Phased Approach
We didn't ask for large upfront commitment based on promises. We delivered a one-month working pilot with actual intelligence, allowing the client to evaluate output quality, source relevance, platform usability, and return on investment before scaling. The pilot eliminated buyer's remorse and built confidence. When the client saw actual value in month one, expansion to regional and eventually global coverage felt like a natural progression rather than a risky leap.
Pay-As-You-Go Model Aligned Incentives
Monthly flexibility allowed the client to eliminate underperforming sources and add new coverage areas without penalties or contract renegotiations. This produced forty percent cost efficiency versus traditional annual contracts while maintaining higher quality—underperforming sources don't persist in annual contracts because eliminating them is administratively complex. In our model, they disappear within thirty days.
Strategic Intelligence Requires Partnership, Not Vendorship
We co-designed the newsletter format with senior management to ensure it served their decision-making needs. We implemented iterative refinement based on feedback, adjusting analysis focus and presentation. We collaborated on source optimization, discussing which sources delivered value and which to eliminate. The intelligence product that emerged was tailored specifically to this client's needs, not a generic industry report with their logo on the cover.
Multilingual Capability Unlocked Global Expansion
The ability to monitor and translate from fifty-plus languages enabled the client to confidently expand intelligence coverage into new geographic markets without delays or quality degradation. When Japan emerged as a strategic priority in month four, we launched monitoring within two weeks with the same quality standards as established markets. Without multilingual capability, international expansion would have required finding new vendors in each market, integrating disparate reporting, and accepting coverage gaps.
Real-Time Monitoring Transformed Strategic Positioning
Forty-eight-hour intelligence velocity shifted the organization from reactive to proactive market positioning. This produced measurable strategic advantages including two-to-six month head starts on competitive responses, early identification of market opportunities before they became obvious, and defensive positioning ahead of competitive threats rather than reactive scrambling after announcements.
Key Lessons From Strategic Intelligence
Pilot Before Scale: Demonstrate Value Before Requesting Commitment
Organizations are rightfully skeptical of intelligence vendors making promises about transformative insights. The one-month working pilot with actual intelligence delivery proved value concretely. The client didn't need to trust promises—they experienced the value firsthand before committing to expansion. This approach should be standard for intelligence programmes, not an exception.
Source Quality Beats Source Quantity
We started with ten sources and grew to forty-five, but we also eliminated twelve underperforming sources along the way. The discipline of continuously evaluating which sources deliver strategic intelligence versus noise ensures resources concentrate on high-value coverage. Many intelligence programmes accumulate sources without ever removing underperformers, diluting overall quality and wasting budget on low-value subscriptions.
Synthesis Creates Value, Raw Information Creates Overload
The client receives weekly synthesized newsletters, not raw source feeds. Human analysts review all intelligence, eliminate noise, add strategic context, and present implications clearly. This synthesis transforms information into actionable intelligence. Providing raw feeds would have recreated the original problem—overwhelming the strategy team with information requiring manual processing.
Flexibility Enables Continuous Optimization
The monthly adjustable scope allowed the programme to evolve continuously as strategic priorities shifted and as we learned which sources delivered value. This produced superior outcomes compared to fixed annual scopes that remain unchanged regardless of relevance. The best intelligence programmes adapt continuously rather than remaining static for contract convenience.
Executive Adoption Requires Executive-Optimized Delivery
The CEO asking "what does Hermes say?" before major decisions represents complete programme success. This adoption required designing delivery specifically for executive consumption—concise summaries, clear implications, actionable recommendations, and easy access to deeper detail when needed. Intelligence reports designed for analysts fail with executives. We optimized for the actual decision-makers from the beginning.
Expanding the Intelligence Infrastructure
After twelve months validating the model across twelve countries, the client is expanding coverage to support new strategic initiatives. They're adding deeper competitive benchmarking on specific operational metrics—pricing strategies, occupancy optimization, guest satisfaction drivers, and operational efficiency. They're developing experience innovation tracking focused on emerging guest preferences in wellness, sustainability, and technology-enhanced hospitality. They're building regulatory foresight capabilities monitoring policy developments that could affect expansion plans, operational requirements, or competitive dynamics in key markets.
The client is also exploring using the intelligence infrastructure to support M&A evaluation and partnership development. The same monitoring capabilities that track competitor moves can identify potential acquisition targets, partnership opportunities, and strategic alliance possibilities before they become widely known or competitive situations.
Most importantly, they're confident in the programme's flexibility. As strategic priorities evolve, the intelligence infrastructure evolves with them. No renegotiating contracts, no arguing about scope changes, no fear of committing to coverage that might become irrelevant. The pay-as-you-go model means intelligence spending aligns continuously with strategic value delivered.
The Bottom Line: Strategic Intelligence as Competitive Advantage
Hospitality markets reward organizations that anticipate trends, identify opportunities early, and respond to competitive moves decisively. The difference between learning about strategic developments in real-time versus weeks or months later determines whether you lead markets or react to them.
This global resort operator transformed from operating with strategic blind spots and reactive positioning to having comprehensive competitive awareness across twelve countries with forty-eight-hour intelligence velocity. The organizational impact extends beyond the measurable metrics—fifteen-plus hours weekly time savings, forty percent cost reduction, three major strategic decisions directly informed.
The deeper transformation is cultural. Leadership now expects intelligence to inform decisions. The strategy team focuses on strategic analysis rather than manual research. Regional teams have access to synthesized competitive intelligence rather than fragmented information. The organization operates proactively rather than reactively.
They didn't achieve this by signing a large contract with a traditional research vendor and hoping for value. They achieved it by starting with a focused pilot that demonstrated value, scaling systematically based on results, maintaining flexibility to adjust as priorities evolved, and building a true partnership where the intelligence product evolved collaboratively rather than being imposed by vendor product specifications.
That's the Hermes Intelligence difference.
