…In Other News: Former CIA Agent John Franchi

TalkLP Host Amber Bradley kicks off a new series, “…In Other News,” as she interviews folks that might have nothing to do with loss prevention or asset protection — but have value to bring to this industry nonetheless!  Take former CIA agent John Franchi for instance.  This guy is a wealth of knowledge about what is going on in our country and across the world that will have significant impact on retail.

John will join Amber on this series to provide a ‘behind the scenes’ look at our government, international affairs, and global markets.  To learn more from John, subscribe to his weekly update by clicking here.  Stay tuned for more “…In Other News” with valuable guests including more convos with CIA Guy John Franchi!

The Proof is in the ROI, Here’s How to Create It

TalkLP host Amber Bradley chats with Gianna Davis, Asset Protection Director of National Investigations for Albertsons Companies about establishing an ROI for needed investments.  Return-on-Investment (ROI) is often a played term, but it’s use is not going away any time soon…..so, better understand it.  ROI analysis of technology is often a cumbersome process.  Gianna walks the audience through her successful ROI process — including what numbers she needs, how she gets her departmental partners on board, and how to obtain funding for mission-critical technology.

Topics Gianna addresses include:

  • To Pilot or not pilot?  What stores do you choose?  How do you compare them against each other?
  • Where is the money coming from?
  • Operational or Capital expense?
