The Amtrak case study illustrates the importance of developing and committing to a clear strategy that can both guide internal decision-making and help the Postal Service pursue stakeholder support for legislative reforms and other strategic goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second,<\/strong> we examined the home video rental industry, which experienced a dramatic disruption due to advances in technology, the rise of the Internet, and evolving customer expectations. The experiences of Netflix and Blockbuster reinforce the importance for the Postal Service of anticipating and quickly preparing for change in its industry, as well as addressing consumer discontent before it becomes a larger strategic problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally,<\/strong> we looked at how brick-and-mortar retailers responded to the rapid rise in ecommerce through strategies aimed at maximizing the value of their physical retail locations. Enhancing the in-store experience, finding ways to leverage physical proximity to customers as an asset, and omnichannel approaches to commerce have allowed retailers to meet changing customer expectations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.21cpw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RISC-WP-21-006-how-institutions-change-oig-wp.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Read full report<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><div class=\"ead-document\"><iframe src=\"\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.21cpw.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F08%2FRISC-WP-21-006-how-institutions-change-oig-wp.pdf&embedded=true&hl=en\" style=\"width:100%; height:500px; border: none;\"><\/iframe><p class=\"embed_download\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.21cpw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RISC-WP-21-006-how-institutions-change-oig-wp.pdf\" download >Download [3.16 MB] <\/a><\/p><\/div><br \/>\nSource: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspsoig.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USPS Office of Inspector General<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-socializer wpsr-share-icons\" data-lg-action=\"show\" data-sm-action=\"show\" data-sm-width=\"768\" data-ga=\"share_icons\" data-ga-action=\"share\"><div class=\"wpsr-si-inner\"><div class=\"socializer sr-popup sr-fluid sr-32px sr-opacity sr-pad\"><span class=\"sr-facebook\"><a data-id=\"facebook\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share this on Facebook\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-twitter\"><a data-id=\"twitter\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%20-%20%20\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tweet this !\"><i class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-share-menu\"><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More share links\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" data-metadata=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;excerpt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;short-url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;rss-url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.21cpw.com\\\/feed\\\/&quot;,&quot;comments-section&quot;:&quot;comments&quot;,&quot;raw-url&quot;:null,&quot;twitter-username&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;fb-app-id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;fb-app-secret&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 4, 2021 (RISC-WP-21-006) As the Postal Service experiences disruption in its industry, it can learn from the experiences of organizations that navigated change in their markets.
