Executive Education

Executives from across the full spectrum of companies involved in the retailing and brand industry - from product manufacturers, consultants, service providers and the retailers and brands themselves - are constantly challenged by the break neck speed of changes within the industry. 

One such program was developed for CBRE, the world's largest retail estate management firm. We worked with the retail practice's leaders to develop a four-month immersive program that highlighted the challenges faced by retailers in such areas as product assortment, customer engagement, supply chain, merchandising and sourcing.
