Cracking the Assortment Conundrum [INFOGRAPHIC]

There’s no doubt that the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) landscape has grown evermore complicated. For example, fast-paced lifestyles are inspiring shoppers to make fewer trips than they did in the past. According to Nielsen Homescan data, there have been 1.02 fewer trips per shopper on an annual basis than a year ago, and that means retailers and manufacturers have fewer chances to capture consumers’ attention as they stroll the aisles.

Coastline County Population Continues to Grow

Zero-based productivity: The power of informed choices

Executives increasingly are recognizing zero-based budgeting (ZBB)1 for its ability to extract cost savings and transform a company’s culture related to its spending approach. This process then reallocates funds to higher-value priorities that focus the organization—from top to bottom. One element that sets ZBB apart from other cost-reduction measures is that it enables the organization to make active, well-considered choices about spending rather than merely revise the ongoing trajectory of prior spending.

Drifting Alone On The Social Network

This was not your ordinary Facebook post — if there is such a thing. 

For one thing, it was long — almost 1,600 words. That’s longer than this column. Secondly, it was raw. It was written by somebody in deep pain who laid their soul bare for their entire network to see.  I barely knew this person, and I was given a look into the deepest and darkest part of their lives. The post told the story of the breakup of a marriage and a struggle with depression. It was a disturbing blow-by-blow chronicle of someone hitting the bottom.
