Joint work in #Retail and #ConsumerGoods companies has proven to be a growth enabler: 60% of companies see positive effects, which include greater sales and lower costs. With both parties recognizing this importance, why is it that #collaboration is still challenging to achieve? External factors, such as macroeconomic pressures, often lead both parties to lean towards independent approaches rather than working together. 💡 To address this challenge, it's crucial for manufacturers and retailers to find common ground.

Professor Bharani, catching up with you at SHIFT was such a pleasure! These notes are gold. I'm sharing so others can see a clearer path to their future (see post below). My favorite points (and proven true via other industries) ... ➜ Growth Imperatives: Innovation, Direction, and Speed. ➜ Vision+Skills+Incentives+Resources+Action Plan = Success ➜ Don’t get drunk with data, get to action. ➜ It’s not generational, its attitude and energy. ➜ HR doesn’t own culture. Leaders, managers and everyone does. and my most favorite and so telling: ➜ People who say it can’t be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it. #distribution #innovation #digitalsalesandmarketing #digitaltransformation #digitalsalestransformation #servantleadership
