Hi there, I'm Jerie Meakins. Back in 2019, I wrote an article on LinkedIn about managing CPG workflows, which has become more relevant than ever in today's retail landscape. With a staggering 645 million Google results on improving workflows, it's clear that efficient project management is a hot topic for businesses striving for success. Today, I'd like to revisit those insights and discuss how they've evolved to meet current market demands, particularly in private label development.
A Journey Through Workflow Evolution: When I wrote about my 16-step process for managing CPG workflows using Trello, the landscape of retail and project management was vastly different. Yet, the core principles of my methodology have stood the test of time. The article detailed how I successfully brought over 30 private label products to market for Lunds & Byerlys, showcasing the versatility and effectiveness of this approach.
Reflecting on Past Successes: The steps outlined in my original article were not just theoretical; they were practical, proven strategies that have consistently delivered results. From developing culinary products to crafting Minnesota-themed gift boxes, the workflow I developed has demonstrated its value across various product categories.
Adapting to Today's Market: As the market evolves, so do the needs of project management in retail. My approach, centered around Trello, has adapted to these changes. It remains a robust framework, yet flexible enough to accommodate the unique aspects of today's private label development needs.
Linking Past to Present: For those who are new to my methodology or seeking to enhance their current workflows, I invite you to revisit my 2019 LinkedIn article here. It serves as a foundation for understanding how to effectively manage projects in the dynamic world of retail and consumer goods.
The Future of Workflow Management: Looking ahead, the principles of effective workflow management remain critical. My current services offer tailored solutions for retail shops looking to develop private label products, leveraging the insights and experience gained over the years.
The journey from a concept to a product on the shelf is intricate and challenging. By reflecting on my past experiences and adapting them to today's market needs, I aim to provide a pathway for others to achieve success in their retail endeavors. I encourage you to explore my original article and see how these time-tested strategies can be applied to your current projects.
