Retailing has continued to change as the industry innovates, shifts, and pivots with changing shopper, data, technology, and the evolution of the Omni-Channel. The need for retailer-specific training has never been greater. Retailers should not rely solely on their suppliers to make category recommendations and should understand the processes, strategies, data and analytics in order to make the best decisions for their categories.   Our Retail blended, custom training solutions (virtual + classroom + eLearning) help individuals and teams develop category management, strategy and analytic skills that will help them make better decisions at their desks and prepare them for the future.  Programs will help participants to build proficiency in areas like data to insights, analytics, the tactics, presentation skills, strategic thinking and more.  ## Retail Custom Blended Learning Solutions ![icon virtual training](https://www.cmkg.org/hs-fs/hubfs/icon%20virtual%20training.png?width=200&height=200&name=icon%20virtual%20training.png "icon virtual training") ### Live Virtual Instructor-led, live **[virtual training](https://blog.cmkg.org/blog/new-virtual-training-solutions-from-cmkg.org)** conducted through Microsoft Teams, or other online meeting platforms. - Use as standalone topics or combine with eLearning  pre-work and/or live on-site training; - Cost-effective learning with no travel required; - Less disruptive to your team (120-minute sessions); - Customize with your own data and examples for custom working sessions using content relevant to participants; - Certificates and badges are available upon completion of a session; - Include contests, breakout groups, case studies, gamification and FUN! ![icon live training](https://www.cmkg.org/hs-fs/hubfs/icon%20live%20training.png?width=200&height=200&name=icon%20live%20training.png "icon live training") ### Live On-Site Instructor-led, **onsite training** at your office or other locations where a face-to-face setting is preferred. - Use as standalone sessions or combine with eLearning  pre-work and/or live virtual; - Customize with your data and examples for a "roll-up-the-sleeves" working session; - Typically 1- to 2-day training sessions that tie in with eLearning pre-work (not required); - Certificates and badges are available upon completion of a session; - Include contests, breakout groups, case studies, gamification and FUN! #### Assess Capability.  Prioritize Learning.  Measure Progress. ## CMKG’s Assessment Approach for Corporate Learning Our assessments help organizations identify knowledge gaps, prioritize development, and shape blended learning solutions around the capabilities that matter most.
