As they seek new avenues for growth, many organizations find themselves hindered by fragmentation across the retailer ecosystem. Internal teams often compete for resources, develop independent growth strategies, and operate within separate planning cycles. At the same time, retailers have evolved into increasingly complex enterprises where merchandising, ecommerce, retail media, marketing, loyalty, store operations, data, and technology teams each influence growth decisions.

The result is a strategic planning process that all too frequently is disconnected from how growth actually takes place. But there are solutions to this problem.

Join us for an executive discussion on how leading organizations are rethinking growth planning through an enterprise-wide lens. Rather than planning retailer by retailer, channel by channel, or function by function, we’ll explore how to identify opportunities that create value across the total enterprise, align stakeholders around common objectives, and allocate resources against the most impactful growth opportunities.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Prioritize growth opportunities across customers, retailers, and channels.
• Align investments to enterprise-level growth objectives rather than individual, function-specific priorities.
• Navigate competing stakeholder agendas on both the manufacturer and retailer side of the table.
• Create stronger connections between annual planning, customer strategy, joint business planning, and investment allocation.
• Build growth strategies that span the retailer enterprise — connecting physical, digital, social, and emerging AI-enabled commerce experiences.
• Establish a more collaborative planning model that improves alignment, accelerates decision making, and drives measurable business results.

This session will provide practical frameworks for moving beyond siloed planning toward a more purposeful approach to growth that aligns strategy, investment, and execution across both the organization and the retailer enterprise.
