MEGATRENDS

The “MEGATRENDS” presentation will focus on the 10 key customer, operations and industry trends that will affect our people, performance and profitability in the next 18 months.

This presentation can be delivered in One Hour, 90 Minute, 2 Hour, or Half-Day formats depending on your time constraints.

Takeaways

We’ll examine foodservice/hospitality Megatrends in these arenas:

• Customer: how the key shifts in customer population, demographics, lifestyles and tastes in North America will affect who we serve, what we serve and how we serve
• Workforce: This is the first time ever that 3 different generations are employed in the workforce simultaneously. How will that affect the way we select, develop, train and enhance their performance? What does “teamwork” mean in the face of a multicultural, multi-generational workforce? What are retail companies like Costco, Home Depot, Target, and others doing to access, hire, and train the i-pod generation that we can learn from?
• Time-stress: how the explosive growth of carside/takeout/to-go has created non-linear competition among all foodservice segments (for instance, McDonald’s now competes with Applebee’s as well as Wendy’s). What this means to your business going forward.
• Marketing and Technology: what key tech trends relative to operations, training, and marketing will radically affect our business in the next 3 years?
• Economy and Competition: how can you offset the competitive pressures resulting from the growth of franchising and the effect of the recent economy on business?
• Execution: how to take these insightful trends and design a 30 day, 6 month and one-year action plan that will measurably improve your operations’ people, performance and profits. We’ll learn what we need to start doing, stop doing, and continue doing to be successful in an ever-increasing competitive environment.
