Join top industry experts, from leading UK retailers and international distributors, for a day long practical workshop on managing the business-critical risks carried by own brand products.
The workshop will address questions such as: What are the associated reputational and regulatory risks? Who influences the size of those risks? What is the responsibility of supply chain operators? What are the practical strategies for risk management? How are these going to be influenced by future regulations – those that are already in the pipeline and those that are anticipated?
Join your peers and Track Record Global to hear the answers, and discuss effective and efficient solutions with like-minded industry professionals – all in the beautiful surroundings of an Oxford college.
Own Brand and Private Label Risk
The market share for own brand and private label products is increasing. Own brand imbues products with a sense of quality and identity; fosters brand loyalty and aids product differentiation. However, selling own brand products comes with unique risks. Company directors are directly responsible for own brand regulatory and reputational performance. There is no doubt where responsibility lies.
However there are effective strategies – as this workshop will demonstrate – for mitigating these risks.
Why Should You Attend?
This workshop is for professionals who want to:
• Understand and review new methodologies for qualifying and quantifying product risk
• Manage source and supply chain risks using modern online techniques and innovative use of data
• Gain a practical insight on how ‘big data sets’ will become increasingly important and influential for risk management
• Understand how their own business compares with those leading the field
• See into the future – what will the next 3 years of regulation add to the complexity of own brand risk management?
Key Themes
Share, review and debate best practice and real-life case studies on the management of own brand risk
