Retailers around the world have faced more change in the last 5 years than in the previous 25, mainly due to a shift in power from the retailer to the consumer. Most of this is as a result of consumer technology allowing shoppers to access information about products and to buy on line from a far wider choice of retailers. In itself, this technology has also undergone change, from desktop PCs to mobiles. So, is it all about managing channels to create an Omnichannel offering, or are retailers now facing a new reality where retail needs a re-design. In this session, we explore what some retailers are doing to create a single approach to the customer across all channels and platforms.
What's next after omnichannel? A customer centric approach to retail. Mark Thomson
