Decoding the future using cultural anthropology (2:00pm - 2:30pm)

Predicting the lasting impact of the pandemic is one of the top questions on every leader's mind. The answer to which isn't easy to get, primarily because we can't just ask consumers about it or even examine historical market data to make predictions. This is where the role of cultural anthropology in decoding the future becomes particularly relevant.
In this session, award-winning cultural anthropologist, Ujwal Arkalgud, will introduce you to his research framework and then use it to explore the top 5 areas of long-term change that's emerging from the pandemic.

Brand-building through crisis (1:30pm - 2:00pm)

A strong brand identity should serve as an organization's compass, consistently communicating its values and culture. As a grocery powerhouse, Sobeys Inc. operates multiple retail banners and more than 1,500 stores. A few years ago, without a clear company purpose and distinct brand identities for each of its banners, it struggled to evolve from a local grocer to a pillar of the community. Hear from SVP of Marketing Sandra Sanderson on the company’s Project Sunrise business transformation, which included the creation of unique brand strategies for each banner - and how those foundations helped Sobeys navigate the pandemic.
