A CALL OUT FOR RETAIL OPERATIONS Have you ever wondered why some of our best leaders in retail come from an operations background ? Or why more of our leaders should come from an operations background ? Maybe here’s why: They develop and execute strategic plans for retail operations that align with overall business objectives They collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure retail strategies integrate seamlessly with other business functions.

These are the people who are in the stores almost every day. They see and understand the actual customer. While data tells us what we’ve sold, Retail Operations can explain poor conversion rates and offer well-informed opinions about who walked out of the store empty-handed—and why.
