Learn how to enhance internal collaboration at Store Brands' Innovation & Collaboration Summit

Many leaders attempt to build collaborative work environments for their internal teams but struggle to be "consistent and intentional" with their focus, which could lead to a lack of trust. Trust-building is critical, however, to sustainable success here.

During Store Brands' 2016 Innovation & Collaboration Summit ("Brand Building Happens Here"), Michael Gunther, founder and managing partner of San Luis Obispo, Calif.-based Collaboration Business Consulting, will discuss the importance of strong collaborative leadership in the trust-building process. He will share a leadership model centered on seven core elements surrounding trust to help attendees lead their teams in building "a collaborative work environment that delivers consistent results."

Store Brands' Innovation & Collaboration Summit will be held Aug. 15-17 at the Hyatt Grand Cypress hotel in Orlando, Fla. The event will feature an innovation-focused education program that will help retailers, suppliers and service providers take today's store brand programs to the next level. In addition, the summit will provide opportunities for private meetings between retailers and private label suppliers/service providers — and plenty of networking time for everyone.

Created with the guidance of Store Brands' Advisory Board, the event is the only conference of its kind in the United States. Attendees will learn how to identify untapped or underused under-tapped private brand opportunities, achieve greater profitability and faster time to market, and forge mutually beneficial collaborative partnerships.

Sessions will cover topics ranging from sustainability and transparency to European success stories, regulatory challenges and omnichannel opportunities. For more information and to register for the summit, visit www.storebrands.com/summit2016.
