How has Nordstrom survived and thrived since its founding as a modest shoe store in 1901? By constantly dealing with whatever challenges come their way – two world wars, the Great Depression, various recessions, the everchanging world of fashion, the rise and impact of Amazon, the aftermath of the George Floyd killing, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Transformation is essential to survival. Any company in any industry that aspires to endure must be in a perpetual state of transformation. If you’re standing still, you’re falling behind.
