DELIVERING TRANSFORMATION
ADAPT TO CHANGE TO RESCUE TODAY AND WIN TOMORROWPLAN FOR THE FUTURE
The retail market is continually changing – there is disruption to business models, competitive landscape, fulfilment channels and store operations. You must keep up with the rest of the industry.
The demands from customers are also always changing – people need more service, want better prices and expect increased convenience.
There should be no doubt that stores will remain relevant. They will continue to play an important part in an omni-channel shopping journey to help consumers want to keep coming back. Customer experience is critical. It’s more important now than ever before – and customers are demanding that your ‘bricks and mortar’ retail stores need are more than just places to transact.
However, creating innovative and compelling customer experiences can be a ‘money pit’. Without careful planning, they can be expensive, confusing and have no ultimate purpose to the benefit to the customer or the business.
Online retailers are increasingly turning to real-life retail stores to help build relationships and provide face to face service and experience. Meanwhile, traditional retailers are moving online and need to offer more than a simple multi-channel offering.
Digital and physical retail are integrating. Plus, it’s important that decisions and infrastructure are setup for the future, not just the present.
THE AGE OF RETAIL DISRUPTION
Transforming your business to operate in an omni-channel world is challenging. However, you don’t have time to waste as competitors are already making gains. They’re stealing your customers and your trade right now. They’re going to continue to nibble away at your market and your future.
CUSTOMER
Your customers are continually changing with increasing demand but creating better experiences for them can be expensive.
COMPETITION
Competition is increasing from many different angles and taking market share.
CHANNELS
Digital and physical stores are integrating but how will your operation continue to play a relevant and profitable part in omni-channel shopping.
STRATEGY
Holding your current position is challenging – and that’s before even talking about growth.
IT’S TIME TO GET FIT FOR THE FUTURE
Many retailers already recognise the need for “transformation” in the face of disruption. You must defeat today’s challenges and grasp tomorrow’s opportunities.
Your change and transformation programmes must be well planned and coordinated. You’ll want to align and bring together cross functional specialists through workshops, working groups and governance.
There needs to be a clear focus on both innovation and justification. Complex risks and issues need delicate management and decisive action taking. The different parts of your organisation all must get on board for this to work.
Your retail transformation NEEDS to deliver – after all, what does the alternative future look like?
My experience of managing major transformation programmes in large retail organisations is key. I blend the energy to ‘chase it down’ while still being hands on and supportive to get the job done. I challenge people to think differently to unlock new ideas and approaches. I’ll lead by example and will demand delivery and results.
FOCUS
Effective team working, including collaborating in cross functional workshops and resourcing.
DIRECTION
Clear planning and coordination with change leaders who set an excellent example to inspire others to get on board and do the job.
SUPPORT
Governance and PMOs need to support the transformation – not get in the way.
ACT NOW
You need hands on programme management to maximise your chance of success. What’s your alternative to transforming successfully?
Transforming and engineering your future business is delicate but essential. But, the opportunities for a successful transformation are sizable and could be the legacy of today’s business – a gift for tomorrow.
