Decathlon Sports India’s Post

🌱I am so inspired as we enter this new era for Decathlon with a new look and a new vision! As we embark on this journey of evolution, I am proud as I look back on what we have done and excited by the opportunities ahead of us.   This refreshed identity means a lot to me. It represents the achievement of an amazing collaboration among our teams. It’s also dear to my heart because at the core of our transformation lies a profound dedication to sustainability. We are reaffirming our commitment to be a guiding light for a greener future.   🌍 Making the world a more livable place for all is without a doubt what drives every decision we make. And as we move forward, the four Rs of the circular economy--rent, re-use, repair and recycle-- are more important than ever.   Today is the beginning of a new chapter and I can’t wait to see the wonders in store for all. ♻️ #DecathlonFuture #MovingForward #Decathlon #ReadyToPlay #DecathlonLinkedIn

This is the most innovative project in the world that I am personally aware of and connected to as the extraordinary challenge is the brainchild of my son, Greg Gleicher. He's an alum, like me, of Washington University in St. Louis and created the #gatewaydecathalon with his team at Good Developments Group! The Gateway Decathlon is a two-year competition providing a platform for collegiate teams designing and constructing innovative housing units. The inaugural event is set for October 2025 in the Gateway South design & Construction Innovation District. The competition addresses significant shifts in the design and construction industry. With 10 diverse sub-contests encompassing Design, Engineering & Construction, and Innovation, teams will present uniquely designed housing units. The world needs this now! Their goals are to highlight inventive designs, promote cutting-edge technologies, and foster a marketplace for sustainable, off-site housing. The #GatewayDecathlon is not just a competition but a catalyst for positive change, addressing industry challenges such as labor shortages and rising material costs. It offers a collaborative platform for collegiate teams to contribute to the industry's evolution. Follow these pages because they are changing the course of one city using futuristic creative ideas that are becoming realities with the power to change not only St. Louis, Missouri, the rest of America! Go team! This is the best of our future leaders!

Six and a half years ago, I embarked on an exciting adventure as a fresh recruit at Decathlon. Little did I know that just two weeks into my journey, I would have the incredible opportunity to visit Decathlon China 迪卡侬中国 for the first time as a Junior Production Planner. Fast forward to today, back in China again with a transition into a new role that allows me to dive even deeper into the complexities of the sporting goods industry. The vast potential in the Asian emerging markets is evident but navigating the complexities of our supply chain while adapting and enhancing our operating model is crucial. It’s not just about adapting to change; it’s about embracing it. At Decathlon, we are at a pivotal moment where innovation and transformation will define our success moving forward. I am endlessly grateful for the lessons learned, the people that I met and the challenges overcome during these years. Here’s to our continued commitment to excellence, speed, and transformation as we pave the way for Decathlon’s future in Asia and beyond! Embrace the unknown, conquer the future 🚀 --- #Movepeoplethroughthewondersofsport #Decathlon #CareerJourney #Innovation #Transformation #SupplyChain #EmergingMarkets #RetailExcellence

Circular Innovation for Growth - The NOLHTACED Way! For one month, Decathlon stores in Evere, Namur, and Ghent rebranded as "Nohltaced" (Decathlon spelled backward) to promote "reverse shopping." This initiative encourages customers to resell old or unused sporting goods to Decathlon for repair and resale under warranty. The Nohltaced branding appeared on store facades, the website, and social media. Decathlon's commitment to sustainability through its buy-back service, second-hand offerings, rentals, and repairs. An Indiville study found that 30% of Belgians are delaying new sports purchases due to the rising cost of living. Decathlon aims to support these customers by offering purchase vouchers, valid for two years, in exchange for resold items, regardless of the brand. #circularinnovation #sustainablity #savetheplanet #innovation #functionalinnovation #invert Innomantra I Decathalon I The Conference Board I The Conference Board of Asia I Global Minds Network

🏆Awards which are based on customer feedback and choice are the ones that the company should value. I believe this is one of these awards. At the same time, awards mean that we need to work more to deliver what customers expect and value. However, from my point of view, it's not only about delivering the expected but also educating our customers and the public (where the brand should move and what the brand should represent). I wrote about this in my post describing the experience from the bistro that I have owned for a few years. The saying that the customer is always right should not apply unconditionally. I still feel the same way. What is your opinion on the role of brand and customer interaction?

What does EUROBIKE SHOW have in store for us? Exactly what we think. If you feel positive almost anything seems possible. If you feel negative challenges are seen everywhere. Cristóbal Pérez does a great job of capturing and sharing a pragmatic outlook on the challenges of the present and the opportunities these offer for shaping the future.

EUROBIKE Show 2024 is here. We can see/feel all the buzz/expectation around. This 2024 edition should not be just another EUROBIKE Show. My take is that three main unprecedented facts hover over the scene: - Back on track. - Innovation. - New players. After some years of struggling, this industry seems ready to crank up. Not tomorrow, not easily, not for everyone, but facts are pointing out this. Resilience and commitment pushed the resisting companies to keep on innovating, creating, and pouring new things that we will see next week. Against all odds. I would not be loyal to my principles if I commonly used worn-out terms such as "recovery" and "light at the end of the tunnel", but they fit here really well. Big companies' reactions and novelties are expected, even from those not attending the show. For me, this remains secondary compared to the myriad of small companies', innovative products, and, listen to this, services. The new bike, now a social system, a key actor, and a shelter for talent and resources will prove in the EUROBIKE Show 2024 that the stiff approaches remain, but are fading away. You do not need a piece of huge machinery, hair-thin carbon fiber, or a one-thousand-store network, to be from the USofA or Europe to materialize your creativity, where available, in a Taiwanese company with its subsidiary Chinese factory. Today, a sparkling mind, with a computer, and/or limited manufacturing resources, but with an intelligent proposal attractive for modest funding can bring to life what the the new cycling demands in the face of big ships unable to turn effectively and quickly. We should expect improvements in what we know, and what we will need, and discover what we were not even able to imagine. My good Asian friends have learned the way well and they show the lead well trained silently within decades of OEM commissions. And India is warming up to prove that the power is not willing to remain still in Western pastures. This EUROBIKE Show is the vortex where the present and the future swirl to spin out a stubborn past that is out of this context where everything happens faster, and more violently than ever before. This year I expect more activity, appointments, pretzel & bratwurst than ever before.
