Success in the retail and consumer sector is more challenging than ever in the current climate. Margins are under pressure. Global supply chains present costs opportunities and challenges and educated, demanding and price-savvy consumers with increased disposable income; not to mention the powerful online channel that can create or destroy your business model at a pace not seen in any other sector.
This storm of increased customer demands, eroding margins and increasingly aggressive competition is a problem that has led to many high street and online casualties.
Focus and Agility
Survival means focusing on your business model – it's all about execution. It also means you need a service and sales culture and an organisation that can adapt to ever tougher cost and sales targets. You'll need leadership that can deliver both in tough times and in periods of high growth – and specialists who can source the right product, secure optimum service and attract and engage your target customer profile.
