Best in Class

You have an established leadership communications strategy and field leaders play a role in ensuring that your company priorities are cascaded and understood. Your task-based communication includes proper context, which ties back to brand goals. But your store systems are still siloed, and you’re not leveraging readership and execution data to the fullest extent.

Let’s break it down:

Connected and Informed Workforce

Level 3: Emerging

Employees in stores know where to go to get the information they need, but they continue to spend valuable time parsing through irrelevant communications because messages are not always targeted. Store employees have access to regular communication about company priorities but most lack a deep understanding of what these priorities really are.

Empowered Associates

Level 6: Best in Class

Your company regularly pivots and/or makes business decisions based on feedback collected from the field.

Agile Store Execution

Level 5: Empowered

Employees are allowed and actively encouraged by their manager and corporate headquarters leaders to make in-the-moment decisions that drive better business in their store location.

Level 6: Best in Class

AI technology anticipates the materials/information teams need access to in-the-moment, and serves it up in the palm of their hand.

Technology Adoption

All of your field/district leaders and store leaders use your communication solution on a daily basis.
