Speaking at PostNord’s Ehandelsforum in Boräs, Denmark

I was pleased to renew my co-operation with the team at Postnord’s Ehandeldsforum and travel to Boräs in Denmark to speak at their 2017 event.

The venue was fantastic – a former train maintenance shed that had been converted into an event space – and the production values were extremely high.

My keynote opening session was a Q&A and I was grilled, supported and made to look sensible by the excellent chairing of the day’s host, Beata Wickbom.

Article on ‘Silos’ in Brand Quarterly

Thanks to Brand Quarterly for publishing my article on the challenge of ‘silos’ in retail.

In this article I discuss the balance that retail leaders must strike in order to benefit from flexibility as well as efficiency.
