Tool's Overview

e-Retailing is now a strategic channel for most categories, yet many commercial organisations approach it as a bolt-on to traditional trade. Strategy is fragmented, capability is thin, and operating-model decisions trail behind channel growth.

This tool replaces fragmented e-Retailing thinking with a structured alignment assessment. It scores readiness across strategy, capability, operating model and execution, and surfaces the specific gaps that limit online performance.

The output is a defensible e-Retailing verdict, used to guide digital capability investment and operating-model decisions.

What This Tool Does

This tool enables commercial leadership to:

  • Assess e-Retailing readiness across strategic and operational dimensions
  • Quantify the gap between channel ambition and channel capability
  • Identify specific structure, capability and process gaps
  • Prioritise digital capability investment
  • Track e-Retailing maturity over time

It moves e-Retailing from a bolt-on conversation to a structured, comparable assessment.

When to Use This Tool

This tool is typically used when:

  • Before scaling the e-Retailing channel as a strategic priority
  • After appointing e-Commerce leadership or expanding the digital team
  • Ahead of digital Joint Business Plans with key e-Retailers
  • When online performance lags wider channel growth rates
  • Before any e-Retailing capability investment programme

Who Should Use This Tool

This tool is intended for:

  • Heads of e-Commerce and e-Retailing
  • Heads of Trade Marketing and Customer Marketing
  • Commercial Capability teams supporting digital growth
  • Senior Commercial leadership setting digital priorities

It is equally relevant for organisations building e-Retailing for the first time and for those scaling a mature digital operation.

How the Tool Is Structured

The tool is organised into the following working sections:

  • Strategy — clarity of e-Retailing strategy and channel role
  • Capability — skills, structure and talent for e-Retailing
  • Operating Model — how e is run end-to-end across functions
  • Execution — content, range, promo and supply readiness for e
  • Alignment Summary — composite verdict with priority gaps

This ensures the assessment captures both the strategic and operational reality of the e-Retailing channel.

Before this program, our trade marketing team was stuck in 'execution mode'—constantly firefighting and reacting to sales requests. This course gave them the structure to stop fixing gaps and start leading the category strategy. They are finally operating as the engine room of our commercial growth.
— Commercial Director, Global FMCG Manufacturer
The biggest impact has been on our internal alignment. We used to have Sales, Marketing, and Trade working in silos, often with competing priorities. The Mini-MBA created a shared language and a single commercial rhythm. Now, when we approach a retailer, we speak with one unified voice.
— VP of Sales & Marketing, Regional Distributor
Trade spend is our second biggest P&L line, yet we were spending it on instinct. This program gave my team the financial discipline to actually measure ROI. We’ve stopped the 'surprise promotions' and started building investment models that actually justify the funding.
— General Manager, Food & Beverage
Our conversations with buyers have completely changed. We moved from simply pushing SKUs to presenting data-backed category stories that defend our shelf space. The team now has the confidence to justify listings and challenge retailers with insights, not just price.
— Head of Modern Trade, Personal Care Brand
What I appreciate most is the practicality. My team didn't just learn theory; they came back with ready-to-use JBP templates and Scorecards that we implemented immediately. It brought order and predictability to our daily work routine.
— HR Director, Consumer Goods
