Here are my top 8 predictions for the remainder of FY27
- GC lumped with Korea, SE&I, and Japan. Will help improve GC earnings + makes sense from consumer preference stand point. I’d anticipate some GC roles to go as they’d be duplicative of existing APLA roles
- Rest of APLA lumped with EMEA. Will help improve EMEA earnings. Same points as above. Will probably eliminate roles in EMEA and have them elsewhere. Makes it easier for long term roles adjustments if roles are outside of Europe. Reduce Europe logistics footprint
- Innovation cut heavily due to AI (graphic Tees, etc)
- Planning roles outsourced to India. This is no longer a tech prophecy, it’s not entering the biz
- Palantir/SwooshIQ engagement increases. Reducing analytics enterprise wide
- SCPO analytics dissolved (pushed into Biz functions)
- Increased hiring in NA from reduced roles in NA DCs.
- September HC reductions from supporting functions
