A clear message: disruption is the new default. Shoptalk Chicago
“The new normal? Yeah… it’s not normal at all.” Day 1 at Shoptalk Fall here in Chicago delivered a clear message: disruption is the new default. Tariffs, tech, shifting consumer habits — they’re all reshaping the playing field. Fast. But if there’s one thing the panelists kept coming back to, it was this: Your best defense against uncertainty? A team that’s trained, agile, and enterprise-ready. Because when things shift (and they will), the companies that win are the ones that: 👉 Break down silos 👉 Think holistically across the org 👉 And empower their teams to actually handle change, not just react to it A lot of talk today focused on operational resilience and capability building… and as someone who’s spent the last two decades helping businesses build that kind of team infrastructure, I couldn’t agree more. 📍Also yes, I may have kicked off the afternoon with a stop at Devil Dawgs for a proper Chicago hotdog. (Can’t learn on an empty stomach.) Let me know what you’re seeing where you are — what’s disrupting your plans for the year ahead? #ShoptalkChicago #Retail #Offshoring #Outsourcing #Shoptalk
