Trend 3: Innovation Who dares wins Innovation = change We can t keep up with the pace of change, let alone get ahead of it. ( )Today any company that isn t rethinking its direction at least every few years as well as constantly adjusting to changing contexts and then quickly making significant operational changes is putting itself at risk. But, as any number of business leaders can attest, the tension between needing to stay ahead of increasingly fierce competition and needing to deliver this year s results can be overwhelming. John P. Kotter Harvard Business Review

4. Conclusions 1. Having an Omni-channel strategy is fundamental for every retailer today. Do not underestimate the execution and being successful requires a transformation of your business. 2. Small box concepts are the fastest growing across the globe. Consumers are demanding convenience and proximity - retailers need to have a solution for this. Big box retailing still has a role to play but space utilisation and dwell time concepts have to be reconfigured. 3. Competition and today s pace of change requires innovation. Retailers that are not constantly thinking about innovating store concepts, promotions, customer Experience and the path to purchase will face challenging times. 4. Be brave and think about tomorrow today and seek assistance from transformation experts.
