CMKG partners with organizations to build practical capability through customized training, blended learning, and assessments designed for real-world application. We help retailers, suppliers, and commercial teams strengthen the knowledge, skills, and strategic thinking needed to perform in today’s evolving retail environment.
Our solutions are designed to go beyond theory. We combine eLearning, instructor-led training, assessments, workshops, and business-relevant application to help learners build confidence and use what they have learned on the job.
We work with retailers, suppliers, sales organizations, category teams, shopper insights teams, and other commercial functions that want to build capability in a practical and meaningful way.
Whether the goal is onboarding, foundational training, strategic upskilling, or addressing specific knowledge gaps, we collaborate with each client to design a learning solution that fits their business, people, and priorities.
We believe effective training should be relevant, practical, and built to support real application.
Our work is grounded in real experience in retail, category management, sales, and commercial capability development. That means training is built with a clear understanding of the business context learners work in every day.
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all learning. CMKG tailors programs to reflect each client’s strategies, data, language, priorities, and learner needs.
Meaningful capability development often requires more than a single format. Depending on the need, we combine eLearning, instructor-led virtual or in-person training, assessments, case studies, and practical tools to support stronger learning outcomes.
Our goal is not simply to help learners complete training. It is to help them think more clearly, apply new knowledge, and perform more confidently in real business situations.
CMKG designs learning solutions that align to business goals, role expectations, and real capability needs. Our work may include customized assessments, foundational eLearning, instructor-led training, hands-on workshops, and tools to support follow-through on the job.
We often use assessments to identify learning gaps, blended learning to build knowledge efficiently, and live training to deepen application, discussion, and strategic thinking. The result is a more relevant and effective learning experience for both organizations and learners.
CMKG was built on a passion for helping people grow their capabilities in ways that are practical, strategic, and relevant. We believe learning should be engaging, applicable, and worth the learner’s time.
Our work is grounded in industry understanding and a commitment to helping clients create learning experiences that support stronger decisions, more capable teams, and measurable progress.

Led by Sue Nicholls, CMKG brings together thought leadership, practical business understanding, and a strong commitment to helping clients build meaningful capability.
