In such an environment, leaders in the industry face a number of key questions:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>How do we become the destination for heavy spenders in our category?</li> <li>How do we use transactional point-of-sale and loyalty-card data to better understand consumers and better serve them?</li> <li>How do we ensure the seamless experience across channels and formats that consumers are now demanding? </li> <li>How do we determine the right portfolio of products, services, formats, and locations for future growth?</li> <li>How do we take advantage of scale while still maintaining local market relevance?</li> <li> How can we be as lean as possible in operations—and make the right tradeoffs between cost and revenue in areas like store labor and inventory?</li> <li>How can we work with suppliers to reduce purchasing costs, especially in the current climate?
