The Emerson Group has been a long-time, proud supporter of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). This October 15th marks the 50th Anniversary of this amazing organization. When @Jeff Bekos came to us with his incredible and ambitious plans to raise awareness and contributions for RMHC, we didn’t hesitate in supporting him.  Starting on July 29, 2024, Jeff will be riding his bicycle 4,600 miles from the Orange County, CA house, stopping at 26 houses along the way. He plans to end his journey in Philadelphia in mid-October and join in on the Anniversary celebration. He will be sharing his personal family story, as well as those of other families, while raising volunteerism and money to keep the local houses operating. His goal is to raise $5,000,000, which will help approximately 254,000 families facing challenging times when their child is sick.

@Emerson Group was honored to host top experts from technology, research, retail, and academia at Emerson University’s Future of Commerce Executive Leaders Program.  Since we started the program in 2019, it has been pivotal in exploring the competitive dynamics facing commerce and facilitating strategic plans for the future. Our mission is to present diverse perspectives on the factors transforming commerce and arm our leaders with the tools and knowledge to win in 2030.  Our most recent session examined the significant decisions facing leaders as new S Curves emerge, focusing on the critical roles of capital, talent, and operational processes. Key Takeaways Include: Strategy: Participants learned to identify the attributes of future-proof companies, embrace a "future to present" mindset, and map out the drivers that will shape the 2030 market structure. Social Selling: We explored advanced techniques in audience development, analytics, and down-the-funnel conversion, along with insights into effectively managing creator/influencer-led brands. Generative AI Use Cases: The program demystified what Generative Pre-trained Transformers are, their capabilities, and their application in the retail and consumer products sectors. Discussions also covered leadership strategies in an increasingly algorithmic enterprise. Special thanks to our esteemed speakers for sharing their invaluable expertise: Dan O'Connor, Don Unser, Mindy McKnight, Shaun McKnight, Brooklyn McKnight, Sarah Litt, Beau Oyler, @David Wright, @Vivek Farias, John Andrews, @Randall Sargent, @Hasanian Habib Nay-Any, @Mike Neal, whose expertise and insights were invaluable.    Thank you to our dedicated attendees who actively engaged throughout the programs and our partners at FCI, Troy Beeler, Dan O'Connor, Sarah Hoit and Allison Bonner, CDP for creating an outstanding program! #FutureOfCommerce #FutureofRetail #Leadership #Innovation #EmersonGroup
