The Metamorphosis of Retail Supply Chains Since COVID-19 III

Gary Newbury will be conducting the third of a series of discussions on Wednesday 9th September and will continue to help and guide the audience to make sense of likely changes which COVID-19 has provoked to the fundamental structure of B2C/D2C supply chains. Gary will continue to build on the factors around consumer behavioural change, retailing history and emerging trends as retailers attempt to weather this episodic discontinuity event.  Given this tumultuous period which was unexpected and unprecedented in its socio-economic force, it is clear, retailers must accelerate their transformational journeys/programs to remain relevant and profitable. To survive and thrive, they must now reinvent. He will discuss some of the structural changes retailers must face up to, how the internal supply chain must be rescoped and “joined up” to operate frictionlessly, the rise of both marketing and supply chain dynamics/interplay as retailers reprioritise what is important and obstacles senior teams need to address to be successful. Gary will conclude with one perspective on the future of Canadian retailing for the 2020s, the potential supply chain design, organization and executional approaches required to succeed. He will paint a picture of the considerations retailers need to think about as they position themselves beyond competing on price. He proposes they focus, instead, into a clearly differentiated proposition, face up to a continuous cycle of reinvention of their retailing concepts to keep driving sustainable profitability. The format will be for Gary to lead with an abridged presentation of broadly 20-25 minutes then open up to audience discussion.
