Strategic Briefings

This two day workshop is an intense and comprehensive overview of the retail industry, trends and best practices.  In addition to covering major retail concepts, requirements and metrics, this course includes an interactive field case study exercise.

The Retail University Workshop is developed around a series of real examples and studies from a variety of industries. The workshop highlights "best practices" that can create a strategic advantage by:

•   Increasing sell-through productivity
•   Reducing costs and risks by being "on cycle"
•   Forecast launch demand & seasonal requirements
•   "Earning the right" to be a strategic partner

This course enables you to see retail from the inside out through the eyes of a retail merchant, and teams who are responsible for executing in retail.

The workshop provides an efficient means of "jump starting" a consumer driven, speed to market culture that is equipped to deal with:

•   Retail consolidation & the 800 lb. gorillas demanding   more trade dollars
•   Retailer cycles...are often out of synch with   manufacturer cycles
•   Balancing product supply to meet consumer demand
