Retail & FMCG

“Running marathons at sprint speed day after day – welcome to the world according to the retail & FMCG industry. Nowhere else is the timing so precise, the competition so merciless and the audience so strict. One click – and the race is over. It’s not a good idea to compete at the top without exceptional athletes.”

Overview of all industries

In view of changing consumer behaviour and the increasing influence of digital technologies, managers are needed 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 modified leadership styles to meet the challenges of digitisation in both saturated and new markets.

“Does digitisation in retail end with 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 area of expertise of the LAB Retail & FMCG practice: finding managers and specialists who are impressive today and fit for tomorrow.

“Traditional retail is dead – long live traditional retail!”
