How to Establish the Pillars of Your Price Command Center (Parts 1 and 2)

Traditional approaches have decentralized pricing oversight to regional or channel managers. In a new era of globalization and omnichannel transparency, siloed management is leading to arbitrage, channel conflict, and substantial value loss. It’s time for pricing professionals to urgently consider how they can begin to mitigate existing price risks, centralize price management to effectively deliver omnichannel price strategies, and leverage technology to minimize resource costs – all while maximizing  revenue. Objectives: How to evaluate the effectiveness of your existing command centers. What should be in and out of scope for a price command center. How to drive strategies that  maintain  harmonization across the spectrum of dynamic eCommerce to fixed-contract pricing. How to leverage technology and automation for continuous improvement.
