Welcome to Becoming Digitally Resilient with IDC Industry Thought Leadership. Today's topic: Becoming A Digitally Resilient Retailer – Operational Transparency and Automation. Retail brand amplification is an important ally to the consumer in 2021, as retailers find themselves at a crossroads. They can double-down on technology-enabled growth or they can continue operating as if the consumer’s expectations haven’t changed. IDC Retail Insights Analysts Leslie Hand, Jordan Speer and Dorothy Creamer explore how retailers are responding to calls from customers for more transparency, seamless engagement and a plethora of bespoke omni-channel experiences – through measures that create optimal ‘flow,’ delight the consumer and protect profitability. Listen and learn how data/analytics, automation and cloud are fueling an acceleration in growth and amplifying retail brand strength and customer loyalty. Our focus on Becoming A Digitally Resilient Retailer continues in the next two podcasts, followed by other industries. Stay tuned! We welcome your comments and questions.
