Taking Stock Steve Rosenstock - Consultant and Business Enthusiast

In our last episode of Taking Stock, we spent some time talking about understanding consumer motivations.

In this episode of Taking Stock, I’m joined by Amy Levine and Ryan Mulligan as we discuss a holistic perspective around revenue growth management and how an effective consumer engagement strategy is connected to a successful RGM discipline. 

In this episode of Taking Stock, I’m joined by Amy Levine and Reed McKenzie as we chat through considerations for understanding your consumers and their motivations as well as implementing cross-functional efforts across the organization to further drive engagement and innovation.  
 
Consumer engagement is critical for any consumer products company today. Understanding your consumers, their motivations, and their connection to your product is what drives success, and it needs to be a cross-functional effort. In our last episode of Taking Stock, we dove into the concept of consumer engagement – what it is, how it’s evolved over the past years, and what to consider when building an effective consumer engagement strategy. Today, we’re talking about understanding consumer motivations and the steps companies can take to ensure they’re meeting their consumers’ needs and expectations. 

Consumer engagement goes well beyond consumer satisfaction or content development. It’s the effort of a brand or business to build meaningful relationships with its consumers through intentional interactions and establish deeper loyalty. It’s about putting the consumer at the forefront of your overall strategy to understand their needs, adapt to evolving preferences, and drive competitive advantage. In this episode of Taking Stock, I’m joined by colleagues Amy Levine and Idoia Hidalgo as we discuss the key components of building an intentional and seamless consumer engagement strategy.

The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the greatest trend accelerators of our lifetime. For many companies, initiatives or plans that were on the backburner suddenly got accelerated, forcing organizations to think and act differently in order to respond, adapt, and survive.

The Great Resignation. Attrition. Turnover. We continue to see these trends dominate the industry, as people continue to evaluate their own professional careers and seek out organizations that can meet their needs – both now and in the future.

Digital is ubiquitous in our day-to-day lifestyle, both at home and at work. It seems almost every task or process has some sort of digital component to it – perhaps more so following the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced all of us to turn to virtual ways of living, learning, and working. 

In this episode of Taking Stock, I’m joined by  Sebastian Valencia, partner at Clarkston Consulting, as we discuss how change management enables supply chain transformation.
Deployment of any advanced supply chain planning tool isn’t just about the points and the clicks, it’s about the people. For companies to be successful in their supply chain planning and business transformation, proper OCM investment will pay off.
For almost every business across every industry, the supply chain has been at the center of the conversation for the past two and a half years. A variety of drivers – from geopolitical instability to labor shortages to inflation pressures – have caused an unprecedented level of global supply chain disruption and uncertainty. In turn, businesses have started to adopt new technologies and capabilities to meet the needs of this current landscape and adapt to this volatility and disruption.
