Richard Telofski
As a competitive strategy analyst, Richard Telofski practices at The Kahuna Institute, Inc. where he specializes in critical and independent analysis of non-governmental organizations (NGOs)/activists and how they impact business from within the Internet, as well as from within mainstream media.
Before The Kahuna Institute, he performed similar work. Richard founded and headed The Becker Research Company, Inc., one of America’s premier competitive intelligence consultancies. Working with Fortune 100 clients, he helped them predict competitive actions from their regular, “garden-variety” competitors, and identified their strengths and weaknesses, reducing surprises and assisting them in maintaining or increasing market share.
After Becker Research, but prior to his current consulting practice, Richard founded and operated eBusiness Analysts, a Web 1.0 strategy firm. When everyone was crazy for e-commerce, he advised various clients on a reasoned and measured approach to conducting business on the Internet. It was during that time that Richard wrote his second book which is entitled Dangerous Competition. For more information about Dangerous Competition, click right here.
Prior to Becker Research, Richard’s previous experience in strategic counseling came from his work in a U.S. Department of Commerce program, the Trade Adjustment Assistance Center. As a Strategic Planning Officer in the TAAC, Richard designed strategic plans and advised American manufacturers who were adversely affected by foreign competitors.
Before his work for the USDOC, Richard was a professor of economics and marketing at Monmouth University and at Georgian Court University.
His educational resume sports a B.A. in Communications & Sociology from Rutgers University, and a M.B.A. in Marketing from Rider University. As a result of this unique background, Richard believes in analyzing both the soft and hard sides of business because without knowing both, he thinks that a business analyst is really just wasting his or her time.
