The shopping experience has changed completely and businesses that do not meet the new needs and preferences of the consumer will not survive. Scale or differentiation, however, continue to determine value and today’s leaders need to be skilled in creating clarity of strategic direction against a backdrop of unprecedented data supply, ever-changing routes to market, digital optimisation and fundamental customer desire to experience something different.
