IRI Rolls Out Best Practice Webinars to Address Critical Business Issues for CPG and Retail
CHICAGO – Aug. 29, 2005 – Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), the leading global provider of enterprise market information solutions for the consumer packaged goods (CPG), retail and healthcare industries, today announced that it is introducing online seminars to address the most mission-critical business issues of manufacturers and retailers. These free, web-based events sponsored by IRI, will feature thought leaders, who will share insights on actual client experiences that resulted in quantifiable business value.
“The goal of the webinars is to feature real solutions that address the business challenges of the CPG, retail and healthcare industries,” said Janet Eden-Harris, executive vice president and global chief marketing officer for IRI. “As IRI continues to reinvent itself and help its clients profitably grow in today’s complex marketplace, dialogue that focuses on solutions that help clients see market opportunities, act quickly and with confidence, and ultimately win at the shelf will become increasingly valuable.”
Kick-off Seminar: “Retail Execution: Success at the Store”
On Sept. 14, the webinars will kick-off with “Retail Execution: Success at the Store,” which offers solutions to drive increased revenue, profit and market share at underperforming outlets through better execution at retail—by store, by category, and by item. IRI Senior Vice President of Client Solutions Larry Danna will lead the session and discuss how to get real business results that move the needle on key performance indicators. Danna has more than 16 years of strategy design and solution delivery experience for global consumer goods, retailer and distribution companies through working at such leading firms as Booz-Allen Hamilton, IBM, Cap Gemini and Ernst & Young.
