Commercial transformation: range planning checklist

The range planning process forms the foundation for your product offering and customer propositions. Valuable and timely consumer insights, integrated into an effective planning process, are therefore vital to capturing customer attention and spend.

We’ve created a checklist of key capabilities which are essential to an optimal range planning process; these are all fundamental activities that can and should be addressed in every organisation, especially before trying to 'fix the problem' through significant technology investment. What’s more, they can often be implemented in the short to medium term. How many of these foundational capabilities could be improved to delight your customers?
