The Digital Store of Future & CPG Collaboration in the New Age of Omni-Channel Commerce

The future of customer experience will be driven by digital capabilities and the ability of retailers and CPG companies to have a consistent customer experience across channels. Providing a seamless channel agnostic, customer-focused view is what retailers are aspiring to. Cognizant has partnered with global retailers to help them strategize and realize the vision of “Digital Store of the Future” through Omni-channel capabilities geared towards improving customer engagement, which in turn increases traffic, conversion and basket size, completely transforming retail performance. As retailers mature their operations to move towards supporting the digitally enabled store, how do CPG companies need to reinvent themselves? This panel discussion will reveal the latest trends that retailers and CPG manufacturers are following to collaborate and make the “Digital Store of the Future” a reality.

From Dabbling to Doing: Age of the Intuitive Enterprise

The world will never be slower than it is today. Current decision processes and underlying decision-support capabilities are unprepared for the convergence of digital, analytics and agile process, which together can enable a new kind of Intuitive Enterprise. Leaders no longer dabble in big data, digital or analytics; instead, they are transforming their businesses and putting these capabilities on the center stage. Simply hiring an engineer or a data scientist is not the solution, and often results in overhyped expectations being missed. During this panel discussion, we’ll build on the GMA’s disruption, Big Data and analytics research to discuss how leaders are going from dabbling to doing – becoming more agile and intuitive – and thereby capturing new sources of growth!

Beating the Trade Promotion Trend with a Revenue Management Roadmap

Across the consumer goods landscape, consumer choices are becoming more complicated due to rising competition, increasing channels and volatile input costs. The combination of these and other factors have retailers and manufacturers re-evaluating their promotion options to boost profitable sales by delivering the right value to consumers. However, the latest Nielsen research of more than 92 million promotions finds that two-thirds of all trade promotions in the U.S. don’t break even. During this session, we’ll discuss key promotional trends, hindrances to trade efficiency, winning promotional strategies and case studies demonstrating insights-enabled roadmaps for promotional overhauls.

Navigating Waves of Change in Consumer Markets: Creating a More Flexible and Agile Organization to Win in the Marketplace

In an environment where change is the new normal, success favors fit, agility, flexibility and preparation. Companies must dedicate time, energy and resources both to sensing weak signals of potential disruptors to understand upcoming “game changers” and to establishing the capabilities to adapt to those changes. This panel of speakers will explore the concepts of sensing and adapting, and facilitate a discussion to explore how companies are beginning to proactively identify and address marketplace shifts, creating adaptable, agile organizations that produce and sustain long-term competitive advantage. Participants will leave with insights into sensing disruptive implications/weak signals in order to proactively develop strategies that address and harness these disruptions. They will also understand the elements necessary to create a flexible and adaptable organization better positioned to respond to changing markets.

Revitalize, Re-Engage and Grow: A Study of Consumers and Shopper Experience

Retailers look to their supplier partners to employ the latest in consumer understanding and uncover new paths to growth. In collaboration with manufacturers that have made retail partnerships their highest priority, Nielsen has found that the greatest growth lies in breathing new energy into the shopper experience. In this session, we’ll discuss how shoppers’ expectations and experiences provide a path to revitalization and the direct, measurable impact of highly engaged consumers. We’ll also examine case studies demonstrating how CPG companies are already leveraging cost effective developments in primary research and data they already have to crack the code category revitalization.

What Can Physical Retail Learn from E-commerce?

Over the past 10 years, much of the innovation in retailing has come from the e-commerce world. The use of real-time metrics and analytics to drive optimization of pricing, merchandising and promotions is now standard fare on all major e-commerce sites. As real-time metrics and analytics become available for physical retail, brands have an opportunity to use the same innovative methods to revolutionize the merchandising methods and metrics the industry has relied on for years. Participants will learn the real secrets to success for e-commerce and how brands can apply those to selling in physical stores. We’ll specifically explore the strategies and tactics prevalent in e-commerce that CPGs can use in brick and mortar. We’ll also look at how CPGs can gain the same agility in-store as e-commerce and what has to change in a CPG’s thinking or process to truly innovate.

Making Winning Bets in Grocery E-commerce

While e-commerce has disrupted retail with vibrant new marketplaces and shopping tools, one sector has been blissfully above the blast area: consumer packaged goods. Online alternatives were few and provided little incentive to woo buyers. In fact, online accounted for less than 1% of total 2013 sales in packaged food and 2% in non-food. As the industry is moving towards a tipping point, there is a new imperative for manufacturers to develop winning strategies. This session will discuss how CPGs should think about winning as this transition plays out. We will take a look at the dynamics of e-commerce, both supply-side and demand-side, to forecast how far and how fast the space will evolve. We’ll also look at the economics of various operational models (e.g. home delivery, click and collect, pickup points) to understand which types of retailer will face the strongest headwinds or tailwinds based on their starting point, footprint and capabilities. And we’ll present the actions we recommend suppliers take to ensure they ride the wave, including picking & partnering with channel partners, and tactical recommendations to drive sales and maintain or grow share.

Millennials’ Changing Path to Purchase: Navigating an Evolving Shopper Journey

There are multiple transformations occurring in the marketplace, but few as important as the impact of Millennials. This group’s dollar share of CPG spending will grow by an estimated 70 percent between now and 2020. But now, an additional shift is occurring, as Millennials who were mostly single until recently, are now marrying and having families, dramatically changing their shopping attitudes and behaviors. During this session, attendees will explore new research on Millennials that will shed light on the unique shopping attitudes of Millennial parents. We’ll examine the profoundly different, targeted messaging, product and shopper strategies required to appeal to Millennials. Attendees will gain new insights into strategies that will address the needs of this enormous, but still misunderstood group of shoppers as their life journeys evolve into parenthood.

A Conversation on the Disruptive Forces Impacting the Consumer Packaged Goods Industry

The results of the 18th Annual PwC Global CEO Survey are in. It is clear, fundamental forces of change are sweeping across all industries, and few are impacted more than the Consumer Packaged Goods industry. During this session we will engage a panel of senior CPG executives in a conversation to discuss what we learned from the survey, and more importantly, to understand how they are responding to these changes. We will focus on how they are creating value through digital transformation, developing diverse and dynamic partnerships, as well as using diversity to find different ways of thinking and working.

Competing in the Digital Now: Winning in the New Digital Era

Over half of the growth in US grocery over the next 5 years is expected to be realized through the e-commerce channel. As large CPGs continue to face the challenges of macro-economic headwinds and increasing competition from small players due to lower barriers to entry, winning in the e-commerce channel will be vital to achieving overall growth ambitions. Winning in e-commerce requires both investment shifts and the development of new internal capabilities. In this session, we’ll discuss recommendations for both of these levers and will hear what it takes to win from multiple perspectives. We’ll address evolving trends (including media and shopper behaviors), new technologies, and managing channel conflict.

Winning CPG Strategies in Online Grocery

Online grocery is one of the most important growth opportunities for consumer products manufacturers. Indeed, shoppers already buy a large percentage of several major categories online, and most industry observers expect online share of sales to grow from 1 to 2 percent today to 7 to 8 percent over the next four to five years, five to six times faster than conventional channels. Most CPGs are experimenting with online strategies, but few, if any, have cracked the code. During this session the presenters will discuss where growth is most likely to occur – from both a category and consumer segment standpoint – and what CPG manufacturers must do to develop successful strategies to win in online grocery. Attendees will gain insight into how the North American online grocery market is likely to evolve over the next decade and strategies for manufacturers to take advantage of this key growth trend.

Staying Ahead of the Curve: Securing a Nation Amid ChangeGeneral Keith B. Alexander, USA, (Ret.)

Sponsored by: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

With advanced degrees in both physics and electronic warfare, an unprecedented tenure as head of the NSA, and over 40 years of top-level experience as a leader, General Keith Alexander is among the most influential figures in national security to date. A colossal undertaking given the rapidity of change and the vulnerabilities that change brings—specifically when policy, technology and ways of thinking or looking at the world lag behind—Alexander’s methodology is more than fit for the task. It is multipronged, highly complex, comprehensive, and largely straddles his efforts to protect the nation from cyber attacks. A critical figure in developing and advocating the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative and leading USCYBERCOM, Alexander’s approach to national security helped to bridge the gap between agencies and focus the efforts of the government in ways that not only paralleled but jumped ahead of the trajectory. An agent of change who truly understands its impact, Alexander has transformed the way we think about new domains of warfare and security. In a detailed discussion of critical import to countless members of the public and private sectors, Alexander examines the nation’s current state of affairs, what’s on the horizon, and offers solutions about what we can do to stay ahead of the curve to protect America’s most vulnerable targets and secure our nation for future generations.

Capitalizing on Consumers’ Shifting Value Equation — Driving Growth Among Disruption

Consumers have increasingly complex preferences and values related to food. While traditional factors such as quality, price and convenience were once the dominant drivers of purchase decisions, other factors like health/nutrition, transparency, safety and social responsibility are becoming increasingly important. These trends are also impacting the growth rates of many food categories and the trust in many established brands and food providers. Furthermore, consumers’ expectations and vigilance continues to increase, as questions proliferate about recalls, GMOs and other key topics. Consumers are now redefining the value equation for food. In doing so, they are creating both opportunities and threats for companies throughout the food value chain. This panel of executives from leading consumer products will explore opportunities to not just get ahead of these shifts, but convert them to growth and market share.

Using Digital to Enhance the CPG / Retailer Partnership

In Omni-channel retailing, there’s much hype and excitement about technology advances in the retail environment as well as the almost daily reports of how essential it is to capitalize on changing consumer preferences. Some are materially beneficial, some are fads, and some will fundamentally change retail operations. Where this was once a marketing or IT issue, charting a strategy for the digital age and executing on the strategy is now a board-level issue whose implementation affects most departments. This session will dissect the most successful retailer and manufacturer partnership, and explore the operational implications of Omni-channel strategies. What is the future of trade funds? What technology investments yield consumer benefit and profitability? What data will retailers and manufacturers collect and share in the future? Our panel of practitioners and experts will share their stories of challenge, transformation and success!

Eyewitness to Power: Leadership in AmericaDavid Gergen, Senior Political Correspondent for CNN and Former Presidential Adviser

Sponsored by: Accenture

From Nixon to Clinton, Watergate to Whitewater, few Americans have observed the ups and downs of presidential leadership more closely over the past thirty years than David Gergen. A White House adviser to four presidents, both Republican and Democrat, he offers a vivid, behind-the-scenes account of their struggles to exercise power and draws from them key lessons for leaders of the future. As the world’s economic and political dynamics continue to evolve, a new age is ahead for America, but its realization will depend heavily upon the success of a new generation at the top. Drawing upon all his many experiences in the White House, he offers seven key lessons for leaders of the future. What they must have, he says, are: inner mastery; a central, compelling purpose rooted in moral values; a capacity to persuade; skills in working within the system; a fast start; a strong, effective team; and a passion that inspires others to keep the flame alive.
