Strategy Trap Fail #9: Target Canada — How a Great Brand Launched a Broken Operation

Target’s launch into Canada was one of the most anticipated retail expansions in decades.
The brand was beloved. The locations were secured. The demand was real.

But behind the scenes, the execution foundation wasn’t ready.
And in this breakdown, I walk through why the entire strategy collapsed under its own weight.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• Why Target rushed to open 124 stores before the systems were stable
• How flawed inventory data led to empty shelves on day one
• Why the supply chain was never prepared to match customer demand
• How small misses across teams compounded into a nationwide failure
• Which of the Six Cs could have prevented the collapse—and how

The lesson is simple:
You can’t scale what you haven’t stabilized.
No amount of brand strength can compensate for execution gaps that go unaddressed.

This is Strategy Trap Fail #9 in my countdown of the Top 10 Strategy Trap Fails of All Time—real stories that reveal where execution breaks down and how leaders can avoid the same traps.

If you want the full execution framework behind these lessons, my book The Strategy Trap comes out February 3.
