Retailing from the
Outside-In
To get a clearer picture of department stores' evolution
and explore new opportunities for sustainable growth
Retailing, like other industries, is undergoing important transformations characterised by changing customer expectations and behaviours, a push for omnichannel trading, digitalisation at all levels, new technologies and leadership challenges.
In this dynamic environment, leaders of department stores, retailers and brands are faced with an array of important choices: what mix between bricks-and-mortar and online development, how to speak to customers more efficiently, what assortment for the future, how to improve supply chain and distribution, how to embed sustainability in the company's DNA, how to capture and motivate the best talents or how to build a more agile but also more supportive organisation.
Titled ‘Retailing from the Outside-In’, GDSS 2022 is about reimagining the business model by introducing new ideas and sharing experiences from leading companies in retail and other industries as well as different business models.
