Overview of all industries

In view of changing consumer behaviour and the increasing influence of digital technologies, there is a need for managers who have the courage to think disruptively and to actively shape the market with new strategies instead of simply being driven by competition. Whether you’re a David or a Goliath, you need new skill sets and new leadership styles to meet the challenges of digitisation in both saturated and new markets.

“Does digitisation in retailing end at the online shop?”

Talents for seamless shopping, data analytics or anticipatory shipping are just as necessary for this as excellent buyers, gifted marketers and expansion managers who identify gaps in the dense network of shops. This is precisely the expertise of LAB Retail & FMCG practice: finding managers and specialists who are impressive today and fit for tomorrow.

“Bricks-and-mortar retail is dead – long live bricks-and-mortar retail!”
