About this program
Merchandising and Assortment Planning is delivered as a complete, ready-to-run training programme — not a slide dump. The pack opens with a structured presentation you can present as it is, session by session, and pairs it with a facilitator guide that tells the person running the room exactly what to do, say and ask at every step. Participant workbook pages, activities, assessments and job aids are all included and print-ready.
The programme is designed for managers, specialists and functional leads who own delivery, and sits inside our Retail, Ecommerce & FMCG collection. The advanced edition goes beyond awareness into fluency: advanced frameworks, case clinics and structured practice rounds with observation checklists.
Everything is delivered in editable formats, so you can adapt examples, terminology and timings to your audience. Run it in person, virtually or hybrid — the session plan covers all three, and your license allows unlimited internal delivery.
