Project Governance is a crucial component of program success. Given a majority of the population are engrossed in the plotlines of Game Of Thrones (GOT), I thought I would frame this conversation accordingly. You have noticed on GOT that disputes on territory, loyalty, and ownership tend to end poorly. Very poorly indeed. In fact, if you are of a highly-sensitive disposition this can be very hard to watch. Without a doubt, if you are not careful as a cast member in GOT...

With less 125 days left (and counting) until Black Friday, these conversations provided some great insight in to what’s top of mind for retailers during the most stressful time of their year, and a sneak peek in to what they will deliver this holiday season. Holiday Readiness Tips: #1- When to start promoting for holiday: It seems like a funny conversation to have in July, but a number of retailers said they already had their holiday shopping gift guides live on their site,...

No I am not talking about the classic 1990 film Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Recall (insert German accent and a horrible spray tan). I am talking about a clever and beloved grocery retailer Trader Joe’s. I am a very loyal customer of Trader Joe’s. Most of the products in our fridge, freezer and pantry are procured from Trader Joe’s. I am a shameless shopper. I go there once, maybe twice a week. Sure I supplement as I have to at Safeway and Costco. But Trader Joe, he is my...

Guilt is a choice. That is the mantra I have been raised with and abide by. When I receive friends and family discount codes, a coupon or a special invitation to a surprise sale, I feel obligated to lean in and shop. I know I am not alone. I have shared this compulsion and sense of obligation with many other consumers in friendly conversations. TOMS Shoes is one of my guilty pleasures. My passion for TOMS is multi-faceted. Why shop TOMS? The One for One pulls at my...

Here is a little fact to ground us in reality: In 2014, retailers lost $15 billion to employee theft, according to the National Retail Federation. Do you have a plethora of Point of Sale data at your fingertips and a lack of time to analyze it on a daily basis?You can actually turn that data into profits by simply protecting your business with information and exception based retailing for your loss prevention teams.

Today’s economy is one of “short-term gratification,” Hurd said, driving many companies to cut costs—particularly in IT—as a means of compensating for slowing revenue growth. Cutbacks in corporate IT spending also mean companies are stuck with an aged and brittle legacy environment. “Pre-search, pre-mobile, pre-everything we know is when most of these applications were built,” Hurd pointed out. It all adds up to an “incredible need for innovation, very old infrastructure, and...
