Intelligent technologies like AI, IoT, and digital twins are transforming supply chains and the roles within them. Many existing supply chain roles will focus more on monitoring machines, interpreting data, and providing guidance rather than executing manual tasks. This will require workers to develop new skills in innovation, creativity, collaboration and leadership. However, many companies have rushed adoption of new technologies without properly engaging their workforce. Leading companies recognize the need to put people first by developing skills at scale through AI, fostering traditional valuable skills, and involving workers in new initiatives from the start. Preparing employees for the future of work will be critical as intelligent machines reshape supply chain jobs.

2. THE EVOLUTION
OF RETAIL IS
ACCELERATING
Digital has ushered in a period of
monumental change to the industry.
3. With digital, consumers have more choices, more
access to information, and more channels through which
to broadcast their demands—and their frustrations.
Retailers have embraced digital to optimize operations,
understand and segment consumers, and create
convenient, satisfying multi-channel experiences.
These changes are just a
precursor of what’s to come.
4. Where
do we go
from here?
For 76% of retail industry executives, social,
mobile, analytics and cloud (SMAC) capabilities
are now core components of enterprise IT.
But these digital capabilities and the advantages
they afford are no longer differentiating.
We are entering a new era where Distributed
Ledger, AI, Extended Reality and Quantum
Computing (or DARQ) technologies will be the
next catalysts for change. Where relevance,
persistent personalization and on-demand
experiences are the winning combination.
5. In reverence
of relevance
Women’s wear brand Isabella Wren uses body scanners
and design-to-print algorithms to deliver beautifully
customized clothing within just two weeks.1
At Sam’s Club, customers can scan items in their carts and
bypass traditional checkout lines. Augmented reality (AR)
even enables them to learn how a product was sourced.2
IKEA recently piloted a new business model focused
on furniture rental. The program is designed to meet
consumers’ growing demands for good design, affordability,
convenience and environmental stewardship.3
PetSmart no longer just sells pet food and supplies,
but offers a range of services—from grooming and training
to adoption and veterinary care.4
6. These retailers are demonstrating what
relevance looks like in the post-digital world.
They are also changing the way retail works
by using new technologies to:
Meet people where they are
Offer new levels of personalization at specific points in time
Strengthen relationships
Expand their paths to revenue, loyalty and growth
Other retail companies are ready to follow their lead.
of retail executives agree that the
integration of customization and on-
demand delivery will mark the next
big wave of competitive advantage.

7. OPERATIONALIZING
THE FUTURE
Retail leaders are looking for opportunities to grow
markets of one. They are changing retail’s traditional
competitive strategy from buying quantities and selling
efficiently to consumers to enabling consumers to buy
exactly what they want from a retailer they trust.
Operationalizing this new strategy
requires that retailers do four things.
9. Before retailers can deliver relevance,
convenience and selection in a given moment,
they have to know the opportunity exists.
This means:
Identifying consumer needs before their
competitors do—and potentially before
consumers do.
Predicting human desires and thinking
outside the box to make those desires come
true for every individual.
Using AI and machine learning to identify,
measure and grow the influencer network.
10. of retail executives believe digital
demographics are becoming a more
powerful way to understand consumers.
believe digital demographics give them a
new way to identify market opportunities
for unmet consumer needs.
believe digital demographics are
expanding the number of ways they
deliver products and services.
Using consumers’ digital identities to
understand which technology solutions they
will welcome—and which ones they won’t.

11. Walmart redesigned its website technology to
allow it to distinguish between items consumers
buy for themselves and those they buy as gifts.
With these insights, Walmart can better target
its purchase recommendations for site visitors.5
Alibaba developed changing room screens that
seamlessly integrated smart technologies into
brick-and-mortar retail stores. The “FashionAI”
solution incorporates machine learning to give
individual consumers real-time suggestions and
tips based on their personal style preferences.6
13. Unlike retailers that fear failure and refuse
to act, leaders will combine design thinking
and design doing to create new business
models and new marketplaces to meet
customers’ needs in new ways.
They will also rethink how new technologies
can transform core operations such as
marketing, manufacturing and distribution.
Ann Taylor, Express and New York & Co., have
launched clothing subscription rental services that
allow consumers to keep their wardrobes up to date,
and generate recurring revenue for the retailer.7
14. China’s JD.com developed a platform marketplace
through which luxury brands can set up customized
online stores targeting high-end buyers. With this
retail-as-a-service model, JD.com enables other
companies to capture moments. It has also created
a new market for itself.8
IKEA and adidas are already using additive
manufacturing to produce customized gaming
chairs and sneakers.9
16. Unfortunately, some retailers are in for
a rude awakening. That’s because they
don’t yet have the right technology
operating model to take full advantage
of the advanced data-driven decision-
making that new technologies enable.
of retail companies are already experimenting
with DARQ technologies.
believe the combination of these technologies
will transform their organizations extensively in
the next three years.

17. An operating model that enables
the workforce to try new things,
adopt what works, and scale
solutions quickly and cost effectively
has several critical components:
STRONG LEADERSHIP
THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
A SECURE & STRATEGIC ECOSYSTEM
19. A human+ workforce—one empowered
by data, knowledge and capabilities made
possible through technology—will drive
the next wave of innovation in retail.
New technologies will allow workers to shift from
mundane tasks to strategic activities focused on
improving the consumer experience or operational
performance. Amazon saw that happen in its
warehouses, where workers are no longer order-fillers,
but robotics operators and technology overseers.10
Retail winners of the future will start thinking
now about how technology can be used to reset
the organization, redefine the talent strategy,
and reskill the workforce to achieve new growth.
20. THE ROAD AHEAD
New technologies are ushering in a new era of retail.
It’s an era of massive consumer expectations.
An era of momentary markets and global opportunity.
An era characterized by relevance.
Forward-thinking retailers are setting their course to
this new reality today.
Where will you go?
Are you ready for what’s next?
21. About the
research
Each year, the Accenture Technology Vision
