28 April, 2023
Ninety-five-year-old furniture brand La-Z-Boy has been in the midst of a major overhaul since 2021, when the company launched its Century Vision approach for strategic growth.

To do so, the company first needed to establish a consumer insights division, tapping two experts to lead the charge: Megan Battig, senior consumer insights manager, and Jorge Calvachi, director of consumer insights. They created a growth learning plan, identifying a strategy to learn who the consumer is, what they want, and how they shop.
