His session, titled "Driving Workforce Performance through Superior Execution Management" will nurture discussion among senior-level grocery executives as they explore the impact of superior execution management on business performance.

"As grocery executives prepare to meet the big challenges ahead in the second half of the year, the RIS Supermarket Executive Summit is ideally suited to provide them with fresh ideas they can take home and immediately use within their organizations," says Joe Skorupa, group editor-in-chief of RIS News. "The leadership workshop Scott Knaul is leading, which is about the key topic of driving workforce performance through superior execution, is going to be an information-rich session built on Knaul's many years of retail experience.
