Consumer Products & Retail
As consumer demands evolve, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies and retailers must find the right balance between success today and growth tomorrow.
Disruptive technologies, new business models and agile market entrants are revolutionising the way people shop, what they buy and how they live. In this complex environment, CPG companies and retailers must expand their focus: It's no longer enough to simply protect their current market share; they've got to explore new paths and evolve to meet modern consumers.
These organisations must rethink how and where to serve the smart consumer. They must build the capabilities to put data at the heart of the organisation and create the agility to respond to market change. Their supply chain must evolve into a transparent demand-response network.
We help them explore, identify and implement the right balance of bold strategic choices that will sustain their business today and maintain their relevance tomorrow.
