In this episode of "Fad, Trend and Strategy on What Just Happened," Christine Russo hosts David Marcotte from Kantar Consulting and James Tenser from VSN Media to discuss various trends and strategies in the retail and supply chain industry. The conversation begins with a focus on the challenges in the supply chain, particularly the impact of weakened demand. David Marcotte highlights the ongoing chaos in the supply chain, attributing it to unexpected disruptions like the Panama Canal issues. He emphasizes the return of challenges similar to those faced two years ago, with disruptions in rail, seaports, and altered supply chain timelines. The discussion then shifts to the failure of the trend towards digitalization of the supply chain, with various solutions, including blockchain, not living up to expectations. The persistence of paper-based documentation and a lack of trust in digital solutions are identified as obstacles. Russo steers the conversation to delve into the issues of sustainability regulations in the apparel industry, pointing out the contrast between genuine efforts and challenges in implementing effective controls across the supply chain. The conversation touches upon the lack of uniform regulations and the need for companies to stand up and enforce ethical practices. The episode concludes with a discussion on the concept of near shoring as a strategy to address supply chain challenges. Tenser sees it as a moderate trend that gained traction in response to lessons learned from the early days of COVID-19 disruptions. The hosts express varying views on the effectiveness of near shoring, emphasizing the need for a more resilient and adaptable supply web. The conversation also briefly explores the concept of "Just Walk Out" technology, considering it a fad in certain contexts, while self-checkouts are viewed as a growing trend with potential iterations to come. The hosts touch upon concerns related to organized retail crime, changes in retail store structures, and the potential shift towards a membership-based system. In the end, Christine Russo thanks the guests for their insights, highlighting the engaging and informative nature of the discussion, and expressing her desire to continue such conversations in the future.

Dan Robertson-Jones is Partner and Culture, Forecasting and Futures lead for the APAC region at Kantar Consulting. He has over 20 years' expertise in the fields of insight, strategy, design, cultural change, trend analysis and forecasting, having worked with and for businesses across the Americas, Europe, Africa and APAC. As part of the global team that pioneered Kantar's global sustainability practice, Dan brings the advisory and consulting experience of helping numerous global brands and businesses turn aspirations in sustainability into clear strategy, practical action and commercial impact. Off the back of last week's episode with Ethical Republic's Emma Pethybridge, today's episode sees Visit Northern Tasmania's Chris Griffin unpack with Dan the global sustainability practice that Kantar pioneered, to understand how markets are changing. Their research has proven up the acceleration of different values, attitudes and behaviours around how people want to live post-Covid, and Dan is well-placed to explain how sustainability plays (big time) into these changes.  Dan also worked with Tourism Tasmania to understand how Tassie can find new relevance within these changing market aspirations, and to start a different conversation from travel and tourism being a passive pursuit to one that actually gets more out of life and leaves a positive impact. Tasmania has long thought of itself as the birthplace of the sustainability movement, and Dan agrees wholeheartedly that it's a world leader. However, the challenge now is how we move our thinking from minimising our impact to maintain the way we live, to a mindset of reimagining how we live and leaning into change to create a better future. In this episode, you'll get Dan's take on the responsibilities that the Tasmanian tourism industry must get serious about as it leans in to the positive impact agenda, the eight key areas of focus that will drive growth in the next few years, and how sustainability and profit can coexist.Today's episode is brought to you by our partner, Tourism Tribe. Tourism Tribe delivers the most up to date, highest quality, relevant advice and support for tourism operators to grow their confidence and digital business skills. Thanks to Tourism Tribe for their generous support of TICT and for helping to make this episode of Talking Tourism possible.

Dan Foreman joins Sima for today’s episode, to talk about his journey, as an entrepreneur, into market research. He is currently involved with the Zappy Store, Course 5i, Borderless Access, Dalia, Bakamo Social, Veylinx, MindProber, and Haystack.   Dan consciously chose to join the market research industry when he was midway through university. He was doing a degree in psychology at the time, and he liked what he had seen in a presentation given at the university by someone from a market research company.  In his final year, Dan interviewed for many different jobs. He was offered several positions, three of which were in market research.  He chose the highest paid, most exciting job, with Research International, which was the largest customer research agency in the world at the time. He worked in their Drinks and Leisure Division, which was a lot of fun, and his first clients were Guinness and Alton Towers.  Climbing the ladder Dan spent some time in research and he also worked at a marketing agency, called Added Value, which became Kantar Added Value, and is now Kantar Consulting. He then worked, client-side, at Kimberly-Clark. After that, he went into management consultancy, and then into advertising.  He joined Focus Vision when they were expanding outside of the US, as their first non-American employee. The business then saw extremely rapid growth, and about eighteen months later, it was sold to Schroder Ventures, and it changed from a family-owned business to a private entity.  Taking the entrepreneurial route Dan later started going down the entrepreneurial route. And he got involved with several different companies with lots of interesting applications to modernize the world of market research. The three types of businesses that Dan is involved with Dan got involved with three different types of companies.  With some of them, he got involved right from the outset, at the startup.  Other companies were already going and they had some revenue, but they were struggling to scale, so they needed expert help in navigating the market and figuring out their product/market fit.  With these two types of companies, there is always an investment relationship. The final group consists of companies that were already very well established but they had hit a plateau, so they required some fresh thinking about the business. With this group, Dan’s role is typically advisory, as these companies are looking for support and not necessarily investment. The way that Dan connects with organizations Dan has a very clear picture of the kind of organizations that he wants to get involved with, and of the kind of future market research that he would like to help craft. He actively seeks out businesses in these areas. He also has many people asking him for support or an exploratory conversation about their business.  Occasionally, he has come across completely opportunistic situations, with which he has done his best to connect the dots, bring them into the industry, and make them successful. Some of the themes Dan considers Recently, Dan took a position with a language technology firm. This is something he has been actively looking for, for years, because he is aware of the huge amount of opportunity that exists around all the unstructured data there, which has become even more complex and varied with the addition of videos and images.  He is also interested in anything that enhances the understanding of the brain, and anything related to emotions and behavioral-based measurement.   Dan is interested in anything which advances his reach, so the more brains that he can access around the world the better it is for him. Is data the new oil? Dan has an interest in anything which truly captures the value of data.  Data is said to be the new oil. And if data is indeed the new oil, Dan believes that he and his people should be the richest in the world as they have access to what’s in people’s brains,

In this episode of The Message Makeover, Dan and Dean interview Bryan Gildenberg, a thought leader in the changing global retail landscape, and Chief Knowledge Officer for Kantar Consulting. We have always been amazed at Bryan's ability to explain complex ideas simply, and it's our pleasure to introduce him to you.

Welcome Loyal listeners in today's episode of the loyalty minute we're going to be talking about what brand and customer loyalty mean to a company's valuation. In a nutshell it comes down to the company's perceived purpose. Brands with a high sense of purpose have experienced a brand valuation increase of 175% over the past 12 years, compared to the median growth rate of 86% and the 70% growth rate for brands with a low sense of purpose, according to Kantar Consulting's new Purpose 2020 report "Inspiring Purpose-Led Growth" Among marketing leaders, 76% think their organization has a defined purpose, but only one in 10 have a corporate purpose statement that's backed by a meaningful activation plan. Two-thirds of marketing leaders believe that purpose delivers long-term growth, just one-third believe purpose is a company-wide movement. Nearly two-thirds of millennials and Gen Z express a preference for brands that have a point of view and stand for something, the report found.
