      Going forward: seizing opportunity with purpose

      If there’s one word to take away from NRF 2023, it’s this: experience. Retail is more complex today than at any time in our lifetimes. How much physical? How much digital? Do we cut costs and increase efficiency, or will we lose the human touch? Are we contacting our customers too much, or not enough? We know what doesn’t work… but do we know what does? And do we know what will work a year down the road?

      The short answer: Focus on experience

      Opening up new revenue channels, adapting to change, leading with purpose – the success of these ambitions depends 100% on how your people and your customers experience them.

      We look forward to continuing our discussion on how Capgemini can help your business find new and exciting opportunities in our current landscape of unprecedented disruption.
