The economic downturn has changed the process store planners use. Department staffing has been cut. Goals have been re-prioritized. How has the process of creating great store design changed as a result, and which of these changes will continue to impact the planning landscape long after the economy rebounds? This session explores the way that designer and supplier services have developed to fill in the gaps and suggests structural and procedural modifications retail organizations might take to benefit from the enhanced productivity and cost-savings for the long run. |
