Wish your competitors well...
I get to speak with a lot of companies, IBM, HP, Cisco, Intel, Sun, etc. And many much smaller companies. The presentations are good when delivered in such formats, when they are off the record they often change quite a bit, large and small.
During those times I get to hear about what a company's competitors are up to and I often learn more about their competitors than about them.
Sometimes I remind people that they are talking about their competitors more than they are about themselves. This rarely stops them, which is interesting.
My advice is simple: wish your competitors well and concentrate on what is on your plate right now.
Focus on what is important in your business right now. The market will take care of you and your competitors, no need to worry about that...
