“30% of all US retail CEOs fear that their company could be out of business within 36 months.”
Consumers are more distracted than ever – deluged with information and overwhelmed by choice. How do you amplify your brand’s signal amidst all the noise?
Do you have a ‘too many stores’ problem or a ‘not enough brand relevance’ issue? What is an alternate path to reigniting profitable growth beyond closing stores and cutting costs?
Your brand lives wherever the customer has access to their smart devices. Have you broken down silos to deliver a harmonized customer experience anytime, anywhere, anyway?
If failure is not an option, then neither is success. How should you take more intelligent risk, catalyze innovation and build a culture of experimentation?
Responding to fast-paced retail disruption requires you to prioritize a shift in vision and strategy. Steve guides you through a practical framework to create and execute a more remarkable and profitable customer experience.
