6. “Our replenishment
has been more accurate.
We no longer get excess
inventory of what we don’t
need. Now we get the right
amount of inventory for
what we do need”
-Store Manager, Kiehl’s Valley Fair
-20% daily stock levels
+1% in-store availability
130% promo plan achievement
“Now that we have less
inventory, we don’t need
our offsite storage that’s on
the other side of the mall”
-Store Manager, Kiehl’s BocaRaton
“We’ve seen a reduction
of inventory in store,
much less inventory to
manage. Saving us time
and allowing us to focus
on what we do
best…selling!”
-Store Manager, Kiehl’s Palo Alto

Notes de l'éditeur
I want to start with the idea of digital transformation. It is clearly top of mind for everyone here, and the types of initiatives could vary from company to company. But the fundamental objective of any digital transformation is to use technology to reimagine or reinvent one or more aspects of how you do business. But too many companies go through these digital initiatives without considering what needs to fundamentally change in the org to be able to drive true change. Ben I want to start with your thoughts on this topic – I am sure as CIO you get asked about this everyday. How do you and Carter’s approach digital transformation?
1. This is a tough change for any company isn’t it? Especially for large global organizations. Erika – if I could go to you next, from L’Oreal’s perspective what types of initiatives are you working on and what challenges do you see as you are embarking on some of these digital initiatives? [Hit on global complexity, some of the challenges you are trying to solve]
2. And Scott, even if change happens, speed is often the differentiator in the marketplace. What are you seeing at Estee Lauder that makes this rapid change really challenging? [Hit on having the right foundations / platform to be able to accelerate without overwhelming the business]
3. Lets talk a bit more about setting up the right foundations to be able to drive ongoing transformation
Erika, in your case you came at it from a business user perspective sitting in supply chain didn’t you? How did you decide that Anaplan platform approach was the right one for you? What impact did this have in your business? How did you deliver value? [Start with why Anaplan and then present next slide]
4. and Scott yours is again a slightly different perspective from finance and marketing. How did Estee Lauder approach this? What are some of the ways you are leveraging Anaplan?
Ben Carter’s has been using Anaplan across various parts of your business. You talked about striving to become a digital enterprise. How did you make Anaplan a part of your overall digital transformation?
What advice do you have for those here in the room as they look at technology platforms to support their digital journeys?
