The US Retail Growth M.A.P.

Though growth feels hard to come by, between now and 2030 US Retail will grow by USD$3 trillion. This is an unprecedented opportunity for both retailers and suppliers to capture as new rules are being written and old playbooks abandoned. The challenge for most brands is that these growth opportunities are coming from uncomfortable places that are difficult to align against specific customer growth plans. For retailers the challenge is that households are behaving unpredictably when it comes to their priorities, value definitions and shopping habits that have all been thrown into confusion due to COVID, inflation and the rise of different commerce models. This session will prepare commerce teams to navigate this new landscape and win.

The Agenda Includes:

· M. Macro. Where is growth coming from? Retail Cities with SME partners will share their views on the pockets of retail, consumer and tech/platform growth that are shaping the next $3 trillion of US market opportunity.

· A. Alignment. What are the new skills required to lead customers and outperform competitors? In this segment we will explore AI and transformational technology, the evolving job description of Sales/business leaders, the next generation of shopper data, and new retailer economics.

· P. Planning. How do you connect dots in Joint Business Planning in age where there’s more plans and more stakeholders than ever before?
