Do you want to shape the future of Retail?

Every year more supermarkets are opened, with more aisles, more space and more products. Consumers however are not buying more, and prices are generally going down, not up. To make things worse, increasingly consumers do their shopping online, even for fresh products. New competition is entering the arena with innovative business models. The retailing landscape will be disrupted profoundly in the coming years. You are the CEO of a large retailer and your stores are getting emptier and emptier… what do you do? Welcome to ‘FutuRetail’.

FutuRetail

Our business course ‘FutuRetail’ provides talented students with an interest in strategy consulting a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the work and culture of Strategy& Amsterdam office.

During this 2-day business course you will work together with 20 students to develop a strategy around the future of retail and the impact of e-commerce and online shopping. As part of a team led by one of our consultants, you will gain familiarity with our approach and working style, learning about the day-to-day responsibilities and challenges of our consultants along the way. In between the hard work you will have the opportunity to meet many of our Strategy& colleagues during lunches, dinner and drinks. FutuRetail provides an excellent opportunity to get an inside perspective on what it means to work at Strategy&.

In my last year of PhD, I started looking for a job which will also give me a broad range of interesting projects and will challenge me to continue learning. Strategy& gives me this intellectual challenge, and at the same time provides enough support and encouragement.

One of my project highlights is a global transformation for a cement company where I went to 20+ locations for over 4 months, always with the core team incl. the client. This taught me a lot about cultural differences and about developing lifetime relationships with clients by working side by side.
