The Advantage Report strengthens alignment in supplier-retailer relationships, makes feedback easier to interpret and introduces more relevant measures.
Advantage Group International, the leading advisor in business-to-business engagement, announces the release of a strengthened engagement program, Advantage Report™, following a two-year pilot program in Canada and New Zealand. The report is designed to help people and organizations work better together through feedback, insight, and action. Updates include a new research methodology, refined engagement framework and an enhanced online reporting experience.
This year’s Advantage Report is built on the new Advantage Engagement Framework. Four engagement drivers underpin this framework, giving clients a benchmarked view of performance as rated by their business partners. The performance is reflected in critical competencies that mirror the business environment, providing clients with valuable data regarding their business relationships’ strengths, weaknesses and opportunities.
“Our clients have come to rely on us to deliver insights that allow them to act quickly and effectively to improve their business partnerships. Our newly refined framework ensures we’ll remain impactful in an increasingly complex retail ecosystem,” states John McLoughlin, Chief Executive Officer, Advantage Group International.
Advantage Group innovated to accommodate the increasingly evolving Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) landscape. A major part of the organization’s innovation included refining and updating Advantage Report’s critical competency set to help their clients more strategically navigate their relationships. These changes were made based on data collected from Advantage Group’s over 30 years of measuring and analyzing feedback from businesses in the FMCG landscape. Through this experience, the organization gained valuable insight into what drives strong business relationships and mutually beneficial outcomes.
This year’s digitization of Advantage Report (a first for retail clients) is more user-friendly, efficient, and customizable. The introduction of new, dynamic capabilities and improved usability help illuminate the path of insight and action. The new Advantage Report stays true to its promise to strengthen engagement through data, insights and action planning while adapting to maintain relevancy amidst the evolving interactions that make up the supplier and retailer relationship.
