An Executive Dinner by GEN - The Global Executive Network is an excellent opportunity for exchanging ideas with experts and your peers and discussing the latest and most important trends for a specific industry-related or management-focused topic. Executive Dinners are usually attended by between 20 and 35 executive guests and participation is always free of charge. 

Learn at the "Retail" Executive Dinner how leading companies deal with the current market challenges and engage in high-level networking.

With increasing competitive pressure on the US retail market the need to develop efficient & sustainable strategies and markets is more important than ever. To compete successfully in this demanding market, leveraging proven innovative solutions has become more essential than ever in the retail industry.

Topics to be discussed at the "Retail" Executive Dinner:

  • Competitive Market
    Highly competitive market due to the ongoing economic recession, tightened lending standards and high levels of unemployment.

  • Agility
    Responding to changes in market dynamics and competitor behavior is difficult due to lengthy time to market for new products and difficult to adjust capacity / processes for special situations and evolving requirements.

  • Differentiation
    With record-breaking declines in sales, inventories, consumer confidence, and stock prices retailers need ways of differentiating to gain a significant competitive advantage by providing a quality customer experience, better segmentation of customers and the ability to offer value to new highly conscious consumers.

  • Integration
    Process & information flow-optimization often require rethinking existing tools and communication-platforms.

This Executive Dinner is of particular interest to:

  • CEO / CIO / CTO / CMO / COO
  • Managing Directors
  • Directors / VPs / Heads of Corporate Development, Corporate Strategy, Strategic Planning, Strategy Development, Marketing, Sales, Logistics, Operations, IT, Controlling
