I've got a 'Black Friday' special for you! I've teamed up with Martin Bailie and InContext Solutions - the world leader in 3D visual retail merchandising technology. We will talk about how Digital Cat Man is NOT Cat Man and why. We will put this in the context of a tale of 5 Convenience Cities - London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels and Madrid. We will highlight how differences in local demand for convenience, combined with a fascinating mix of modern trade, hybrid modern trade, and traditional trade, results in "too much work" unless you embrace Digital Cat Man with its full potential. Digital Cat Man is not Cat Man. Find out why on 3 December 2025. Start time: 1pm (13:00) in Europe, noon in the UK Registration is free on ZOOM. https://lnkd.in/dgy3iupB

AI Transformation 🟰 faster resets, smarter #assortments, real #compliance, better #shopperexperiences. That’s the work. We're thrilled to have a seat at the table at FMI's Charting the Path to 2030. Thanks to Mark Baum Dan O'Connor Troy Beeler FMI- The Food Industry Association Harvard University
FMI's Charting the Path to 2030 at Harvard left me energized. In the 2010s I led major digital transformations across the globe. Today, the mandate is clear: AI Transformation. From agentic workflows to data-driven operating models, we’re moving beyond pilots to real revenue, productivity, and customer impact. I’m ready to blaze this trail with teams who want measurable outcomes, not buzzwords. Huge thanks to Mark Baum, Dan O'Connor, and Troy Beeler for orchestrating a phenomenal program and community of builders. Onward. 🚀 #AITransformation #GenerativeAI #AgenticAI #Leadership #FutureOfWork #RetailTech #CPG #DigitalTwins #ExecutionMatters #Harvard #HBS #FMI
