WHAT IF? Two simple words that have the power to change everything!

The Consumer Goods landscape is currently marked by rapid and disruptive change. While Category Management aims to enhance business performance by addressing evolving consumer needs, many businesses focus on past strategies rather than innovating based on fresh insights into emerging shopper trends. Does this reliance on historical data result in risk-aversion, hindering the embrace of bolder strategies?

Please enjoy this presentation from Andrew McKeon from The Kraft Heinz Company and Russ Onish from Vista Grande that showcases collaborative initiatives driven by forward-thinking WHAT IF approaches, such as innovative merchandising in the Mexican Foods aisle. Discover best practices to enhance your organization's WHAT IF mindset and category leadership.

“It has been an incredible couple of days in Dallas at #CMASIMA2024. I’ve learned so much from my fellow #categorymanagement colleagues and suppliers from across the country. A highlight: Speaking on stage with Russ Onish from Vista Grande about taking chances and using data and insights to rethink the Mexican aisle.” —Andrew McKeon
