Retailer Attendee Takeaways
-
Standardize relationships with your suppliers. They’re the source of a vast amount of the data you need within your business. Figure out what you want to know and ask all of them for it in the same way.
- Put a data governance team in place. It takes a huge effort to clean up bad and inconsistent data. Once that’s done, make sure you have a system — and people — focused on keeping it clean going forward.
- Reward successes. Recognizing positive contributions can have a tremendous effect both on team-building and forward momentum.
