Archived We have a new CEO and his name is…

[PureZero]

I'm afraid because of his time at Sams Club he's pretty much suckled the teat of Uncle Wally and that's the plan from now on.

Some of us at our store have thought the same thing.

 

[BigEyedPhish]

I'll use Matt Damon as my artistic expression of my Hope for this hiring, and possible new "bromance"

Hope


I will also use this same individual to convey my artistic expression of Expectation

Expectation

 

[BigEyedPhish]

Actually, someone needs make a Brian Cornell parody video for that.

 

[BigEyedPhish]

As a PA I am not sure if this Interview makes me feel "Pfresh" or "Pscared"

1:40-2:40

"We’ll be live tweeting as our team meets new CEO Brian Cornell to hear his thoughts and plans for @Target. Join us at 12pm CST!"

[Hardlinesmaster]

I wonder what happened?

 

[commiecorvus]

And nothing of value, hope that's not a sign.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

I did ck on twitter. Spot kool aid every where.

 

[Deli Ninja]

From the tweets, nothing decisive was said.

"I believe the @Target brand is best positioned to win in the omnichannel environment." - @Target CEO Brian Cornell

We're doomed.

 

[commiecorvus]

So in doing some reading on the omnichannel environment, to be honest the concept wasn't knew but the word was, I kept coming across this point and I'm quoting form the most concise version that I ran across.

Preparing for an omni-channel presence will require a heavy investment of both time, and money.

Communications between the IT department, marketing department, and sales staff will need to be as smooth as possible with little confusion about goals and strategies.

A clear and thorough understanding of the customer, or target market, is required to be able to make appropriate decisions about channel integration and usability.

Because brick-and-mortar sales influenced by online search are four times higher than total e-commerce sales, omni-channel retailers need to be informative, personable, always connected and allow channel transparency.

The bolding is mine.
Do any of those things sound like things Spot is particularly good at?

tl:dr To quote @kingpin003 We're doomed.

[BobLoblaw]

So my prediction: all this time and money invested in products, training, and marketing is going to give us a product that's slightly more colorful than what I'm using now. And old folks still won't get it.

I hear In a Snap app should solve everything.

 

[balthrop]

our poor poor delusional CEO. his first day and he has already drank a mega sized portion of Target Branded Kool-Aid.

 

[redeye58]

After drinking all that Pepsi? Ew.

 

[BigEyedPhish]

I am guessing our new AMAZING Acronym will be DWBO

"Don't worry be Omni"
After of course our new HIGHLY controversial Employee Magazine comes out FSORC, which we all knows stands for "Fifty Shades of Red Cards"

So the new acronym would be pronounced dweeb-O?

To avoid this, they decided to change it from "Don't Worry, Everyone Be Omni" to this. But we yes we will all call it Dwebo

 

[sher]

I just read excerpts from an interview he did and he talks like a sort of... Retail politician. He mentioned listening to team members and it just came off like he was on the campaign trail.

 

[mrknownothing]

Sounds like one of @Dr Laytex's parody covers.

 

[Backroom81]

I'm withholding judgement until AE2015 rolls out. I doubt he's going to attempt any sweeping changes before that.
