What Will it Take To Win In 2022?

Dane Cohen, Management One

Despite the turbulence, 2021 was a good year for most retailers. But how should you approach 2022 to win? Inflation is driving up the cost of purchases, including freight. Supply chain issues are improving but not completely resolved. Employees are demanding higher pay. The outlook for consumer demand could change as excess savings dissipate and government stimulus fades. And the bar for competing digitally continues to get higher. Paul Erickson, with Management One, will outline key strategies that will help you succeed in a changing environment.
