THE ISSUE: How to drive profitable growth
with the Modern Trade
Continued growth of the Modern Trade is unstoppable
The only way for suppliers to consistently grow profitably with Modern Trade customers is to ensure that activities they undertake drive category value. That way, there is an incentive to work together to grow a category profit pool that can be shared
Current performance trackers tell you what results have been achieved and how you are perceived by customers
A new type of diagnostic is required to help your people cut through the complex clutter of results and symptoms to identify and address root causes
Driving profitable growth with the Modern Trade requires world class understanding of performance drivers in the customer P&L
Historical value created
Problems to fix and how to fix them
Advantage Survey/GfK, Competitive Position, Customer P&L
Lack of strategic dialogue, ineffective NPD, trade spend negotiations, support for brand strategies, delisting, negative trading relationship
Are they understood?Do customers & internal stakeholders agree?What actions should be undertaken?
Our 3-D Modern Trade Diagnostic is your essential tool for root cause analysis

Root Causes
Our 3-D analysis tool ensures that root cause issues are identified, rather than just symptoms
Each dimension (stakeholder perception, data, expertise) provides unique insight into how to drive customer performance
Once root cause issues are agreed, improved performance can be targeted and actions automatically generated to address these issues and deliver real results
3-D root cause analysis defines actions that deliver real results

Circa 30 key stakeholders deliver feedback on customer performance through our web-based quantitative research tool
Existing data (brand plans, customer presentations, raw data) is analysed by CA to understand if stakeholder perception is valid
Nominated experts challenge stakeholder perception and data analysis to create a final 3-D root cause analysis of performance
In each performance area a current and target level of performance is set to define actions to shift customer performance
A valuation model creates a direct line of sight between planned actions, predicted value creation and potential investment scenarios

Performance Plan
Stakeholder does not see the question
Stakeholder sees statements to agree
or disagree with
Order of statements is randomised to
increase objectivity
1. Is there a direct line of sight between the supplier's trading plans and the category vision?1 The supplier's trading plans are clearly structured to demonstrate how the category vision is brought to life through activation6 There is no clear link between the category vision and the supplier's trading plans
2. Are objectives, activities and investment within trading plans consistent with each other and in line with the ambition?7 I am confident that all components of trading plans are built in the right way to deliver joint ambition2 Trading plans are rarely designed to really deliver what we are jointly trying to achieve
3. Are the supplier's trading plans realistic and achievable in the context of typical proposed investments?3 The supplier's trading plans are consistently supported with appropriate
investment plans8 The supplier's investment plan is often too weak to make trading plans realistic and
achievable
4. Do the supplier's trading plans contain the appropriate mix of price, promotions, placement and NPD to drive profitable growth for both parties?9 The supplier's trading plans consistently contain the best mix of price, promotions, placement and NPD to drive mutual long term profitable growth4 The planned mix within the supplier's trading plans often fails to make sense in the context of delivering what we're trying to achieve
5. Is planned activation within trading plans suitably differentiated to create a unique value proposition for the shopper?5 Trading plans are tailored exceptionally well by brand and store format10 The supplier's trading plans tend to be 'one size fits all' and deliver little differentiation for shoppers
Web-based quantitative researchcollates rich stakeholder opinionSTEP1Expertly designed web-based quantitative research tool
Seeks degrees of agreement to key statements that indicate performance versus expertly identified customer performance drivers
Drives objectivity:Statements are built to be intuitively understoodProvides positive and negative versions of the same statements to examine consistency of responseAvoids tying statements directly to the customer performance drivers
Users can be any stakeholderAll functionsAll gradesLocal and internationalInternal & external
STEP2Data is reviewed to better understand reality
Data is both deposited on our server by the client team and stakeholders can post documents to the software directly in response to submitting specific opinions.
This is existing data only - no new analysis needs to be undertaken by the client. =
Data is evidenced against the quantitative research structure to assess the validity of differing stakeholder perceptions

STEP3Expert opinion challenges data and perception
Specific client experts are nominated to work with our experts to provide opinion on stakeholder perception and available data in order to create a final 3-D conclusion on each area of performance
We agree upfront who the client experts will be for each area of subject matter e.g. ‘Relevant Category Opportunity’ = Category Strategy Director, ‘Trading Plan’ = Grocery Trading Director, ‘Supply Chain Execution’ = Logistics Manager and build on their input to create the expert view
As you can see, root cause analysis only works in 3-D
Customers can’t see the category vision coming through the Trading Plans, but the supplier believes they have embedded the vision effectively
Examination of the category vision suggest that low priority opportunities have been incorporated into the Trading Plans, based on the suppliers own short term limitations
The final conclusion is that there is not a direct line of sight between the Trading Plans and Category Vision
Examination of the trading plans themselves suggest that they do reference many category opportunities

STEP4Actions to improve performance are agreed with key stakeholders
Once the 3-D analysis is complete, we then work with the client experts to conduct a final interpretation of the results
In each performance area a level of current performance is agreed using 3-D insight and a target level of performance is set, using the structure on the page opposite
Actions are then automatically generated to shift to a higher level of performance
AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED ACTION:Undertake a structured review of the detail that supports the category vision to identify all appropriate activation opportunities and incorporate these into trading plans
DESIRED FUTURE PERFORMANCE
CURRENT PERFORMANCE
1. Is there a direct line of sight between the supplier's trading plans and the category vision?4. Each component of the Trading Plan is clearly structured around the category vision3. Trading Plans reference all of the opportunities identified within the category vision, but could be structured better to create a direct line of sight2. Trading plans reference some of the opportunities identified within the category vision1. There is no clear link between the category vision and trading plans
2. Are objectives, activities and investment within trading plans consistent with each other and in line with the ambition?4. Trading plan objectives are directly derived from the joint ambition and activities & investment are developed in a highly structured and consistent way to deliver trading plan objectives3. Trading plan objectives are broadly in line with the joint ambition and activities & investment are mostly supportive of trading plan objectives2. Trading plan objectives are broadly in line with the joint ambition, but activities & investment are not consistent with delivering trading plan objectives1. Trading plan objectives are not in line with the joint ambition
3. Are the supplier's trading plans realistic and achievable in the context of typical proposed investments?4. Each individual component of each trading plan is supported by an appropriate level of investment to make trading plans realistic and achievable3. The investment plans effectively support overall trading plans2. Investment plans are broadly based on trading plans, but are usually too low to deliver trading plans effectively1. There is no clear link between the overall trading plan and the investment to support it
STEP5 The final step is a valuation of improved performance
Our valuation model uses an algorithm to create a direct line of sight between planned actions to shift performance, predicted value creation and potential investment scenarios

The appendix delivers rich detail on the perception of stakeholders, data reviewed and the expert opinion provided.
This creates a direct line of sight between the summary conclusions and detailed analysis
Undertake a structured review of the detail that supports the category vision to identify all appropriate activation opportunities and incorporate these into trading plansRich detail provides
supporting insight into required action
The bespoke software solution has been specifically designed to help our corporate clients analyse business performance
It allows stakeholders to provide their opinion and back it up with fact, for example by attaching files that they believe are relevant
The same analysis structure is then used for the data analysis and expert opinion
As root cause issues and levels of current and desired performance are agreed, actions are automatically generated to shift performance
On the basis of these agreed actions, a valuation of improved performance is automatically generated
The software itself has been built
exactly for the purpose
