Office Hours: Cut to Fit: Portfolio and SKU Management During Turbulent Times

In a discussion focusing on how brands can use data for innovation during tough times, Steven Hershberger, who consults with brands on portfolio and product innovation strategies, joins us for a conversation on ways brands can identify their “hero SKU's” during a period when many companies are looking to reduce, rather than grow, parts of their portfolios.
