274: Short Term Gains, Long Term Pains (part 1)

Retail Transformation Show with Oliver Banks

Confront the retail strategist’s dilemma: seizing the day without compromising tomorrow. In tough trading conditions, we chase short-term targets with a tempting path of quick fixes and instant rewards. But do we pause to consider the long-term game? Like a game of chess, every move counts and victory is not achieved in a single turn. Join Oliver Banks and learn the tactics that ensure today’s wins don’t become tomorrow’s losses through a series of considerations, thought-provoking questions and key activities.
