Topics for Jonathan Reeve

Ready or not, here comes Amazon: Are you ready?
In the next year, Amazon will start to launch physical retail operations in Australia. It's likely the biggest event the retail sector has seen in twenty years.
Get ready for a gripping presentation as Jonathan poses the million-dollar question to his audiences: how ready are you to respond to this threat? Understanding Amazon's strategies is the all-important first step. This brilliant keynote also highlights the big opportunities businesses need to seize to ready themselves for Amazon's entry into the market.
Mastering disruption and why it matters to your business
Disruption is a widely used but often misunderstood term. It's a buzzword bandied about by the media and industries when referring to any 'Big Change'. But what does it really mean? And how can understanding the predictable patterns (yes, predictable) of disruption keep you ahead of your game no matter what sector you're in?
E-Commerce fulfilment in the era of digital disruption: Unlocking one of retail's best kept secrets
The imminent arrival of players like Amazon in Australia will change the retail landscape forever. But one thing is clear. Most leaders are not confident about how they can even begin to compete with increased customer expectations around flexible fulfilment. Same-day or next-day delivery, delivery time-slots, third party collection points, lockers, ship-from-supplier and ship-from-store are just some of the options customers already expect.
It's a not-to- be-missed session as Jonathan builds on the themes of his book Retail's Last Mile to equip Australian retailers with the arsenal they need to face one of the biggest operational and financial challenges of their time.
Are you ready for Amazon?
The aim of the workshop is to help you prepare for the biggest change in Australian retail for twenty years. It will help you to defend against the threats but also capitalise on the opportunities that will be created.
E-Commerce fulfilment boot camp
Fulfilment matters. History shows us that e-commerce retailers who fail to master fulfilment end up disappointing customers, frustrating team members and losing money for shareholders.
If you do get fulfilment right, you'll have the foundations of a successful e-commerce business. You’ll be confident you can move forward and handle the significant competitive challenges ahead.
