Retail managers spend a large part of their day putting out fires. They chase problems and apply quick, immediate solutions. The solutions do not typically consider the whole system or surrounding areas that may be impacted. The solution, in essence, may create additional problems down the road or may not resolve the underlying issues of the problem. When problems arise, a Store Manager asks, "How Do I fix this problem now?"A Retail Consultant asks, "What does the problem really mean?"A Retail Consultant is a professional trained to look beneath the surface of problems. They collect data, observe established norms and behaviors as well examine contributing factors below the surface in regards to problems and dysfunctional environments.

They include business performance, customers, employee/ environment, presentation/ assortment, competition, and processes. The Retail Consulting Principles walks you through creating a plan for lasting change. This method represents progressive steps in identifying and solving problems. The principles covered in this book include: Stating the Problem Managerial Diagnosis Discovery & Fact-Finding Connecting the Whole system Solutions Buy-in & Long-Term Change
