Future Leaders Programme

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– Digital transformation in CPG has entered its ‘day 2’; while day 1 was focused on digital marketing & eCommerce take-off, the next phase will see eCommerce (in all its forms) become the
dominant sales channel, transforming operating models and radically re-shaping supply chains (digital, personalised, faster)
Supply chains
Put data & AI at the heart of decision making, from R&I to product lifecycle management, consumer engagement and revenue management lifecycle management
Accelerate the evolution from products to products, services and experiences
– Early adopters are already seeing significant benefits – and widening the gap with competition in terms of access to consumers, data assets, and capabilities
– …and already preparing day 3: “platforming” their key assets (content, data, digital services, algorithms, …) to build ecosystems that deliver superior economics and value to consumers
– We will be sharing BCG perspectives on how major developments in digital and technology
