The forces reshaping consumer and retail markets globally are significant and intensifying. They include demographic shifts, the drive toward sustainability, value chain disintermediation, and the erosion of scale advantages. At the heart of it all is today’s consumer — savvy, demanding, and with more options than ever. 

For forward-thinking companies, this creates opportunities for innovation: to create great new products and services; design new shopping experiences that meet consumers where, when, and how they want to buy; and build an organizational culture that is adaptable and agile.

Aligning leadership around a shared vision for the future. And building momentum behind crucial organizational change
