The best businesses recognize the value and necessity of engaging their partners, encouraging team member engagement, and viewing their partners as an extension of their business. When business partners work together in unity, they can easily anticipate the emerging needs of shoppers and respond to them with greater agility, achieving a first-to-market advantage. Only when suppliers and retailers work together with fluidity, transparency, and trust can they act effectively at pace.
