The Digital Transformation: 7th June 2018
Venue: CESA Offices, Rotherwick House, 3 Thomas More Street, St. Katharine Docks, London, E1W 1YZ
The increasing economic headwinds facing the hospitality sector will only drive tougher competition and lower prices into the supply chains. Add to that stagnating productivity, wage inflation, the currency impact of Brexit and the potential for import tarrifs, all of which will drive up costs, the pressures on profits will be intense. So how can you maintain, and potentially even build your margins in such challenging times?
In this seminar, we will cover:
- The changing pressures on sales and margin, now and in the next three years
- Supply chain to value chain: commoditisation and the perceived value curve
- Strategic positioning: running into space and changing the game
- Sourcing and selling: the new approaches needed in the information age
You will leave the session with:
- New models for engaging your team with the sales and margin discussion
- An assessment of your current and potential future strategic positioning
- A clearer picture of capability gaps in your selling and buying functions
- An outline strategic plan for repositioning your offer to grow margins and sales
