Successful leaders are transforming their businesses, going beyond cost cutting or updating the core business to reinvent the entire organization. This means includes focusing on customer experience, employee satisfaction, and positive societal impact. #BusinessTransformation

[McKinsey & Company @McKinsey]

Leaders who successfully pull off a high-performing #transformation don’t choose between holistic #performance or #business reinvention. They pursue both.

Here's how leaders can measure a transformation's progress and map the most productive path forward➡https://t.co/Nag5kiIVcm

Knowing what's on your shelves is pretty important. Layout management both in-store and online can make or break your margins, so the cost of staying up to date with the latest software outweighs keeping the status quo.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. The old adage is gaining more weight with #marketplaces, allowing competing retailers to pool resources and offer more to their shared customer bases. https://t.co/a2z1Libaiv

Throughout my #retail and #sales career, I have integrated 30 acquired stores, a regional distribution center, and a logistics and warehouse network into the Lidl enterprise, among many other things. Don't ever underestimate the power of curiosity, determination, and teamwork!

According to recent research, approximately 80% of today's workers could have their jobs impacted by #GenAI. When it comes to #HR, this technology is capable of reshaping talent acquisition, onboarding and development, and performance management.

#Retailers have adapted rapidly to economic conditions and consumer behavior. In this study, we see key #retail trends emerging, including agility and diversification, export opportunities, personalized customer journeys, and social media. @RetailBulletin https://t.co/aJZaTKwm1k

When you move, you get a different home, neighbors, scenery, etc. But have you ever thought about how the move changes you? As a person who has lived around the world, my #personality has had to adapt to the #culture. And it's shaped me into the person I am today. ✈🌍☺

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

Travel to any city and you'll likely see #retail stores looking different than their traditional big-box layout. Smaller-format shops are trending right now, as retailers are looking for big city customers in high-traffic neighborhoods. @modernretail https://t.co/Kr6Mu9CM4b

Although I'm a fan of #AI and all its astounding capabilities, I believe we still need the #HumanTouch to truly thrive. Let's not allow #echnology to drive a wedge between us, but instead, let's use it to build a greater connection with each other! @Forbes https://t.co/z39rqlv0r7

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

#AI has transformed #retail; however, most of it has focused on consumer-facing elements. @KristinSavilia highlights how it can accelerate #DigitalTransformation, increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and allowing for data-informed decision-making. https://t.co/nnsysC2Nsh

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

Next year, we can expect shoppers' #retail preferences to be fluid and less predictable. In addition, we'll see more #omnichannel strategies and dynamic real estate and an acceleration of buy-in-store and ship-to-home and personalization. @RTouchPoints https://t.co/vXTkzzJdPw

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

One of the tell-tale signs of an #InclusiveWorkplace is how the people speak about it. Do your employees talk about your company in terms of "we" or "they?" Their answer speaks volumes about their willingness to either attach of detach themselves from your organization.

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

Over the next two to three years, we can expect #GenAI to transform #retail and #ecommerce. Already, we're seeing AI-powered personal shopping consultants assist users with finding items while connecting them to offers they may have missed. @sabrinaa_ortiz https://t.co/jbwHBL6msr

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

Experts predict this year's holiday #retail e-commerce growth to be low compared with the past 15 years. However, many consumers have already begun #HolidayShopping, which could signal a willingness to spend without waiting for prices to drop. @eMarketer https://t.co/FsHbdGHEK7

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

If your actions concerning #inclusion don't align with your words, people won't feel like they belong. Here are tips I've found helpful:

☑ Be transparent about decisions
☑ Link decisions to the company mission
☑ Define exclusionary behavior and require accountability

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

The increasing influence of #AI has sparked discussions about its potential to replace humans. When it comes to #HR, AI can be a catalyst for automation, while more strategic tasks like recruiting will still require a human touch. @Exchange_HR https://t.co/74k8mzTf7Q

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

As #women, how do we ensure that we aren't coming across as overly ambitious or aggressive at work? 🤔 The key is to stop trying to manage people's perceptions of us and let our voices be heard! As author @SallyHelgesen says: "When people get used to you, their opinion changes."

[Nina Sichtermann @NinaSichtermann]

Which #retailers will see the most shoppers and produce the best margins this #HolidayShopping season? Experts expect #ecommerce, off-price retail, and web-based home goods retailers to be in a strong position. @globeandmail https://t.co/milMKxOLHp

Different #nationalities have different #personalities. To learn more about this topic, check out The Culture Map by @ErinMeyerINSEAD. It's been a privilege to get to know so many personalities in my professional and private life. https://t.co/uKQ4Krd6Xy

I'm proud to be an @MIT alumni! From November 2022 to July 2023, I decided to pursue an Advanced Certificate in #management, #innovation, and #technology. Studying at MIT is like drinking water out of a firehouse, but the intense 13-class journey has been extremely rewarding.
