The Opportunity
Anyone looking at Cat Man training must be sure their program follows best practices that are compatible within the industry, provide organizational consistency and will result in superior results.
TPG not only wrote the initial Category Management best practice report, but has continually updated the Category Management approach to meet the evolving needs of our industry needs.
What We Do
- TPG’s Category Management curriculum puts consumer and shopper insights at the core of developing and executing winning Category Plans.
- TPG’s Category Management subject matter experts have worked in top suppliers and retailers in leading the development and flawless execution of hundreds of differentiating Category Plans.
- Key to our learning and training begins with our competency-based approach that assesses your team’s Category Management capabilities relative to best practices.
- Each course provides hands -on learning opportunities to enable measureable growth in both competencies and results.
Assessments
We evaluate/test Cat Man capabilities relative to best practices and then recommend a personalized set of specific courses that address each person’s individual development opportunities.
