Interactive Retail Workshops
Retail workshops are an excellent use of time. Whether a single day or a couple of days they are an excellent use of your valuable time.
Believe me, I know how difficult it can be to get a group of people from across senior management though to operational specialists and shop teams together in a room, but this is one of the benefits of retail workshops. They are such a rich opportunity not to be missed as they stimulate discussion from across the divides of retail functions and internal business agendas.
We create a structure and an environment for participants to exchange concerns, ambitions, and ideas, to arrive at collaborative decisions, strategic objectives, and to plan for operational deliverables.
A catalyst for business improvements
If it takes an external partner to be the catalyst. To plan, organise, guide, and stimulate the contributions then so be it because the output will be worth its weight in retail gold.
I have carried out retail workshops across the globe. Clients teams and myself have worked our way through many of the elements known to retail. We have discussed issues ranging from developing & delivering better physical shops, improving operations, integrating channels, to buying more commercial assortments, evolving agile organisational structures, and training dynamic and engaged employees.

Discovering your brand
In all retail workshops we have discussed and even discovered together the illusive meaning of the ‘brand.’ For each business, we have integrated their unique and distinct “Meaning in the Retail Madness” into action plans across functions.
If you want to organise and deliver your own retail workshops, that’s great. I’m happy to help you come to that conclusion through an informal chat. I’m always happy to share some important tips and guidance to help you make a success of it.
Retail workshop collaborations
If you decide that a workshop would be a valuable catalyst for your wider objectives, and you would like it externally planned and delivered by ourselves, then be assured that our assistance will be appropriate, workable, collaborative and affordable to achieve your goals.
We will begin with our own informal workshop discussion to ensure that what is delivered is entirely what you need.
So, if you want to start the ‘retail workshop’ ball rolling, please get in touch. I would be happy to share with you some typical formats and agendas.
