Reverse Experiences for Customer-Led Retail: People, Process, Product, and Planet

People, Process, Product and Planet

Customer lifetime value and consumer experience excellence are top priorities for retailers.

Overview
By 2024, 40% of the top 500 retailers will use AI-enabled decision support to drive improvements in the new KPIs of omni-channel retail, including customer lifetime value, productivity, and profitability.
