Commerce Grand Strategy
Power Your B2B Commerce with a Grand Strategy
B2B companies face unprecedented challenges and opportunities in our increasingly digital world. A well-defined Commerce Grand Strategy is not just a roadmap; it’s a visionary approach that integrates every facet of your business into a cohesive plan for sustained growth and competitive advantage. This strategy is essential for aligning your digital commerce capabilities with long-term business goals, enabling your organization to anticipate market shifts, leverage emerging technologies, and create exceptional customer experiences. Without a grand strategic vision, companies risk falling behind as the market accelerates toward digital-first interactions and more sophisticated buyer expectations.
Global B2B eCommerce sales are projected to reach $25.65 trillion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7% from 2021 to 2028
Practical use cases include modernizing an outdated B2B ecommerce strategy in advance of a replatforming modernization effort, planning a direct to consumer strategy, or taking more digital ownership over a distribution chain. A recent Grand Commerce Strategy client sought to modernize their ecommerce strategy and technology platform globally. After partnering with the McFadyen team, they’re now running a unified multi-market strategy with a single technology stack operating both the traditional ecommerce model and third party marketplace model. The McFadyen team has stayed on well past initial launch and continues to be the strategic and technological growth catalysts.
