It's often said that the only constant in life is change. Business leaders certainly know this. But what does that statement actually mean to executives? How are you supposed to act on it? And how do you know if you're making the right changes in the right way at the right time? Management expert John Fleming, Ph.D., tackles these and other questions in a probing interview. Fleming -- who has analyzed change efforts at dozens of companies -- warns that unless your business is prepared to make a transformational change, you're probably wasting your time.

Gallup Retail Forum 2010: From Spenders to Savers

There is a "new normal" in consumer behavior, and the shift from spending to saving may be permanent. Whether retailers prevail or fail will depend on their ability to capture a larger share of the consumer's shrinking wallet.

At the Gallup Retail Forum 2010: From Spenders to Savers event, leaders will discuss the changing retail landscape and generate ideas on how their organizations can serve the new consumer.

The event will take place on April 14, 2010, at the Gallup Irvine office. To learn more or to register, visit the Gallup Retail Forum 2010 page on the Gallup Consulting Web site, or contact Mary Penner-Lovci (212.548.2940) or Krista Volzke (402.938.6001).
