We surveyed >1000 #fashion industry leaders about their key concerns for the back half of 2024 and presented this morning on a WWD webinar with colleagues Vincent Barbat and Nora Kleinewillinghoefer from Kearney. For those that couldn't make it, here are the key takeaways from my perspective: - 1/3 of executives see #inflation / economic recession as extremely concerning, and another 1/3 as very concerning. No other concern comes close - Execs indicate they need to improve in core #retail practices around #consumer trends and insights, and #inventory management more so than #AI, demand #forecasting, or #sustainability. But perhaps there is a middle ground here that execs need to recognize that AI is part of the equation, and we could see these survey results because more education is needed on what AI really means - Expectations are for physical retailing to be flat to down, #wholesale continues to decline, and #DTC and #eComm will continue to be the main driver of growth - Survey respondents indicated they will invest the same or more in #sustainability, but we think this survey result doesn't match reality we see in the industry. When the house is on fire and business is uncertain today, it's hard to focus on long term changes needed for tomorrow - We think the Chinese consumer market lag is a much larger issue than the survey respondents indicated. Only 8% find it extremely concerning. When we speak with our clients, essentially anyone with exposure to #China is concerned and wants to know what to do (hint: come ask us) I'll make another post when the replay goes up. Thanks to all that could attend, and to Arthur Zaczkiewicz, MSW for the great facilitation

95% of manufacturers already use AI in their consumer interface.   To kick off 100 years of IFA, we surveyed more than 100 executives in home and consumer electronics for a study, presented today at Insights & Trends in Berlin.   Currently, the use of AI is often limited to a few applications and pilot projects. Industry leaders are convinced that this will change in the next five years and that the number of AI implementations in customer-facing services will increase rapidly. Particularly strong growth rates are expected by decision-makers in areas such as performance marketing, device personalization, and customer service.   Let me know if you're interested to receive the full study, in German or English. Thanks for the - once again - great collaboration with our friends from GFU, Sara Warneke, Christian K., Klaus Petri Dr. Martin Schulte #ai #consumer #sales

We just updated the most comprehensive model on new mobility! In 2021, the Oliver Wyman Forum team set out together with the University of California, Berkeley to develop a quantitative analysis of all major mobility modes. Globally, with individual market forecasts. A dedicated team of researchers, subject matter experts, and strategy consultants spent +18 months to create one of the most detailed models that I have seen so far. ...and now the team did it all over again. We are excited to launch our new MOBILITY VALUE POOL REPORT on emerging key trends in mobility. ​Our team revisited and updated marked data, checked assumptions and re-defined segment forecasts. A key finding? Digital services will play a critical role as main growth drivers for mobility services in the next decade, with autonomous driving, charging, and in-vehicle digital services seeing the fastest growth. ​ Congratulations to the authors Dr. Andreas Nienhaus, David Markey and Steffen Rilling for this fantastic study!

Cooperation makes us stronger in all aspects of life, whether in business or society. At Roland Berger, we champion the power of teamwork, drawing strength from diverse cultures and languages. Individually, we can achieve success, but it's through embracing diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and talent across borders that we truly thrive. Personally, I am grateful for the enriching experiences the European Union has offered me. From international youth exchanges to lasting friendships, these experiences have broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of different approaches. Let's nurture that spirit of cooperation and unity! Together, let's make our voices heard by voting for peace and democracy in Europe. #UseYourVote #4Europe

The magnifiscent seven, the darling of the stock market either in the US or in Europe …I have spend the majority of my time with McKinsey & Company serving many of these companies. While a distinctive capability can lift a company’s performance, I have found always fascinating to characterize what makes such companies successful and unique, how these have created enduring competitive advantages, what their CEOs are doing …and what my other clients can do to get inspired. This recent piece by my colleagues and dear friends Harald Fanderl, Liz Hilton Segel and Homayoun Hatami is a very interesting summary on what make these companies successful. The goal of this piece is to help CEOs and senior executives to find that missing ingredient that could elevate their businesses to the top.
