Welcome to the future of commerce + work where leaders transform.
Our mission is to enable senior executives to understand and navigate the shift to the "algorithmic economy.” Our success is measured by the successes of our clients, we love when our insights and programs help clients understand the transformations they need to implement in their business and are successfully able to navigate the change.
FCI is an executive education organization. We have created an immersive curriculum to illustrate how profoundly the consumer and retail industry is likely to change in the years ahead. We expect companies will need to adapt their value chain, realigning their capital, culture, and talent to compete in the modern consumer and retail space. To help companies analyze the changes they must make we customize our programs to our clients’ needs. Example cases we often include are:
Why we do this:
The impact of technology on business and the workforce has only just begun, and many leading organizations continue to face uncertainty around the structural changes needed to make the successful leap forward. We worked with leading global organizations and practitioners to understand changes in consumer behavior and help companies build strategies to address those shifts.
Executives must adapt more quickly than ever before. Consumer and industries are seeing a shortening of trends and behaviors which make investment, training, and innovation at leading businesses more difficult. We believe our understanding and analysis helps companies and executives understand the shift they’re likely to encounter next, enabling them to make smarter investments with their time and resources.
We love consumer and retail businesses and believe many leading consumer and retail brands are well-positioned to be innovators in the 21st century. We aim to help these great organizations educate their teams, and apply their knowledge to innovate for modern consumers.
To support our clients and organizational mission, we:
Work with leading organizations, academics, and practitioners to understand cases and success they’re seeing in the market. We then customize programs and develop case content around topics and changes impacting the future of commerce.
We also construct educational travel experience for executives, on our learning trips we travel to specific market which we believe are setting the standard for the next generation of commerce. We analyze the markets that set the standard of the next generation of commerce
