Traditional boundaries between sectors are blurring

Consumer, Retail & Agri

Consumer

The consumer market is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by a range of factors including new technologies, increasing global awareness of sustainability, a rapidly growing global population and worldwide urbanization.

The distinction between industries is blurring, and consumers are increasingly using online platforms, where the trend of sharing becomes more important than owning. These developments are also reflected in the search queries presented to us.

Nevertheless, one aspect remains unchanged: the sector requires leaders who are willing to make decisions on daily basis and act accordingly with a long-term vision.

Retail

The transformation within the retail sector is strongly driven by digitalization. This leads to a shift in the way products are sold to consumers.

Producers are increasingly selling directly to end consumers, causing the role of traditional retailers to evolve. Stores are transforming from traditional points of sale to locations that offer a unique 'experience' or serve as efficient pickup points.

These developments underline the growing importance of the internet and innovative forms of value creation within the sector. Adapting to and integrating these new retail models requires leadership capable of thinking and acting from the perspective of the end-consumer, to maximize customer satisfaction and business growth.

Agri

The Netherlands is highly regarded internationally in the field of Agri & Food, thanks to the entrepreneurship and efficiency that characterizes the sector.

However, this specialization brings new challenges, especially at a time when the viability of our planet and food security for future generations are paramount.

The agricultural sector strives for a balance between economic growth and ecological, social and cultural prosperity. This requires inspiring leaders with an inclusive vision and strong powers of persuasion to realize these ambitious goals.
