MDM Webcast: Leveraging Innovation to Win in Distribution

Description

In this MDM Webcast, McKinsey Partners Alex Abdelnour and Kevin Sachs share their research on the recipe for leveraging innovation to win in distribution, including a panel discussion with executives who have successfully applied the recipe.

Those who attended MDM Shift 2022 heard these McKinsey Partners share their latest research on what leaders have done to outperform in the evolving distribution landscape – a landscape characterized by below-GDP growth, increasing customer expectations, accelerating consolidation, increased disintermediation, non-traditional disruptors, and tight labor markets.

Companies who successfully transformed in this landscape showed an ability to deliver outsize growth while expanding margins. To achieve this, they innovated – whether in business model, service, experience, process or some combination. Join us in this free one-hour webcast on Thursday, March 16, 1-2 pm Eastern.
