Retail and how consumers buy has evolved, so must your team

With the rapid evolution and adoption of digital commerce globally, the way we work to meet the market has fundamentally changed. This requires expanded skill sets and evolved organizational structures. 

Join Edge by Ascential panel of experts: Nick Everitt, Shyla Killion, Kurt Vogel, and Kelsey Regan on June 22nd at 11 AM ET as they discuss the ways in which you should be assessing and pivoting your team of experts. 

Building on the subject of upskilling from the previous roadshow, this session will discuss how you take your skilled team and position them for your business success -- covering the successes and resources Edge has provided clients in the past months to help them pivot their organization to meet the future of retail head-on. 

We’ll be honing in on the following: 

  • Industry benchmarking and the models used by CPGs as they build out eCommerce capability
  • The challenges faced as companies look to recruit and retain the right skills to win in digital commerce

  • Insight into how we build recommendations and deliver them to our clients
