Remember last week, when I introduced the Slack community we’re launching April 15?

Well, we made it even easier to join now and be among the first. Just click this link, and you’re in — totally free.

It’s a place to share your work, keep up with industry developments, ask for help, find your next key hire (or your next career opportunity), and more.

Separately, I’ve just returned from Shoptalk, where I was on the prowl for climate and sustainability insight and innovation in retail. Stay tuned for a summary of what I found.

Sustainable Growth with Chris Perry of Firstmovr

Join Keith Anderson as he talks to an old friend, Chris Perry, Chief Learning Officer of Firstmovr. He is not only a trusted advisor to the industry, but he's been in house at world class brands like Reckitt, WellPet, and Kellogg's. Chris tells us about his perspective about some of the challenges that the industry that wants to make it a priority faces in reaching out and persuading colleagues in conventional commercial roles.He also shares an interesting point of view on the impact of emerging brands and insurgents and how innovation can play a role in accelerating industry shifts, and talks about the importance of communication. The conversation closes with us thinking a little bit differently about strategy as it relates to sustainability and retail and CPG.
