No normal is the new normal: Make disruption work for your business
Change is one of life’s certainties, so those who look only to the past and the present are likely to be caught out by the future. This is particularly true in the consumer and retail sector, which is being transformed by three revolutions at once: geographic, demographic and technological.
This turbulence is reflected in our sixth annual Global Consumer Executive Top of Mind Survey, in which 31 percent of respondents say new disruptive competitors are redefining the industry. Executives also said that changing technology (25 percent) and competition from platform businesses (24 percent) are significant challenges.
